Winter is never easy, especially if you live in London or New York! Those harsh winter temperatures in contrast to central heating can wreak havoc on our skin, while energy levels are lower due to shorter days and lower vitamin D production thanks to less sunlight. Chances are you’ll need some pampering before spring! To get you ready for the new season, I’ve found four winter treatments to think about investing in…
4 winter treatments to feel good
The Rehydrator: Bamford at The Berkley, London
Bamford Rose Facial and Upper Body Treatment
Dryness at this time of year often extends beyond the face, and this Bamford treatment is a wonderful, relaxing and de-stressing option to help you feel better. Rose is soothing to the skin and mind and, after an exfoliation and upper body massage, a mini facial refreshes and deeply moisturizes the skin, finishing with an Indian head massage.
If you’re based in New York, you can give your body a toning and hydrating treatment that will prepare you for the season ahead at the luxurious Spa De La Mer.
Menopause retreat
Menopause-focused wellness is (finally) firmly on the agenda for 2023, so as we emerge from winter, perhaps it would be beneficial to pause to consider the changes your body might face this year. Ask your favorite spa which treatments would best address your specific symptoms, or sign up for a special menopause retreat, like the one at Chewton Glen in the New Forest, which included a 90-minute body ritual, OTO products, and educational plans to help. relieve symptoms in the future.
Skin tightening: Sarah Chapman, London
Collagen therapy with stem cells
Are you worried that this winter has been hard on your skin? Enjoy the ultimate anti-aging treatment to lift, smooth and plump your skin. Collagen is designed to maximize the impact of Sarah Chapman’s Stem Cell Collagen Activating Serum, combined with microneedling for a dramatic, smoothing impact.
