After a long week of early mornings and late nights your skin can feel a little lacklustre and weary. So what better way to perk it up, than a firming facial to get your glow back and make you look a few years younger?
EW’s Fashion and Beauty Assistant Alexandra puts the Organic AHA Paprika Facial to the test.
WHERE:
Sugar Urban Nails is our new one-stop-shop for grooming and a spot of pampering. This popular spa and salon has locations in JLT, Mall of the Emirates and Abu Dhabi. See here
THE TREATMENT:
Start your experience with a fruity juice drink and skin consultation before heading to your treatment room, ready for 75 minutes of pure bliss.
First up, all daily grime and make-up will be thoroughly cleansed away to ensure you’re ready for the treats ahead.
Next comes the good stuff, the AHA Fruit Pulp Mask; smoothed on with a thin layer of Paprika Herbal Treatment on top. Expect a little tingling and a wonderful warm sensation as the mask gets to work.
While you wait, the therapist will give you a stress-relieving arm massage using a good-enough-to-eat coconut scented body lotion.
Once the mask is removed, a calming chamomile tonic is smoothed over your face prepping for the next treat; a stonecrop mask mixed with menthol rosehip.
And just when you think you’ve had enough masks to last months, another is applied. This time it’s a 10 minute-firming mask, mixed with liquorice root to ensure your contours are left toned and tight.
As you lie back blissfully relaxed the therapist then further indulges your senses with a fifteen-minute foot massage.
To complete your indulgent treatment, a cucumber and mint soufflé is massaged into your skin, followed by a spritz of hydrating mist, a bamboo-infused firming fluid, moisturiser and eye serum!!
WHY BOTHER:
This luxurious treatment will leave you with a fresh, firm face that looks as though you’ve had a week in The Maldives. This might become our new monthly indulgence! But beware sensitive skin beauties, the Paprika Treatment tingles.
