Review

“I had the ESPA Advanced Back Face and Scalp with Hot Stones (£130, 115 minutes).

Once I was comfortable on the treatment bed, my therapist, Charmaine, asked me to close my eyes and choose between several different facial oils by smell alone. This scent selection happens before most ESPA treatments and allows you to make an instinctive decision on what your body needs that day.

Next, Charmaine used ESPA's Skin Vision Lamp to inspect my skin. With the lights turned down, she focused the UV lamp on my face and pronounced my skin to be generally in very good condition with the exception of the skin around my eyes, which was dehydrated. She gave me a mirror so I could see for myself, and sure enough I had purple encircling both eyes, like two black eyes!

Charmaine started the treatment by applying a foam cleanser to my back before using a quite-abrasive skin brush to get rid of dead skin cells. This was followed up by an exfoliating body polish which she removed with wet mitts.

The hot stone element of the treatment started with Charmaine pressing the stones into the tight muscles in my shoulders and back. As the stones cooled she placed them in my palms, which was a lovely feeling, and continued to work on the muscles with her hands.

Next up was the personalised intensive facial. Charmaine used hydrating cleaning milk and a spritz of toner to really clean my skin, and then applied an intense eye moisturiser onto the dehydrated skin around my eyes.

Moving onto the face massage, Charmaine applied facial oil using lots of lifting movements to tighten my skin. She pressed her fingers lightly on acupressure points from my chest up towards my scalp, followed by some lymphatic drainage movements. She then turned my head to each side and massaged my neck.

Charmaine smoothed a mineral face mask onto my skin, placed pads over my eyes and using ESPA's Pink Hair and Scalp Mud (a miracle worker in itself!) began a blissful scalp massage. I drifted off to cloud nine for a few moments before Charmaine used wet mitts to take off the face mask. She applied a serum, moisturizer and eye cream.

My skin looked absolutely amazing and the first comment from my spa partner was that I looked ten years younger.

Treatments at The Spa at Grand Jersey include prescriptive and indulgent facials, massage and the final beauty finishes. You can also try alternative treatments including reflexology, reiki and Indian head massage.”
