BEAUTY Files START THE NEW YEAR BRIGHT!

Restore skin’s natural vitality with the Ultimate Radiance and Renewal Facial at THE RITZ-CARLTON, Doha’s SPA. Our lovely ANAHI BROWN (@anahibrown.coach) indulges us with the decadent details as to why you need to go. Now.

From the second you enter The RitzCarlton Spa, Doha you can sense the levels of stress leaving your body. The calming smell of lemongrass, as you enter this wellness sanctuary, is the best way to start getting you into a mindset of pure relaxation and pampering, regardless of the length of your to-do list. As soon as I entered and saw the elegantly renewed spaces, I knew this would be an unforgettable experience, and I was right!

After a tour around their facilities, which include Steam Room, Sauna, Ladies Only Gym, Plunge Pools, Mixed Gym, showers, relaxation areas, Spa Lounges and a beautifully designed powder room... It was time to get pampered with this treatment which uses ESPA’s products which are made with 99-100% Natural ingredients, ideal to nourish your skin from the inside out.

The Ultimate Radiance & Renewal Facial is a 90-minute indulgent and highly effective facial that uses both deeply cleansing and brightening treatments alongside age-defying massage techniques such as ESPA’s revolutionary Skin Radiance Intensive Serum. The result? Glowing skin with better circulation and better elasticity.

As you settle in the treatment room your technician, Yuli in my case, asks you about your skin, goals and discusses your day-to-day skin care routines, all in order to create a fully tailored experience using ESPA’s purest natural products, to make sure you leave as relaxed and pampered as possible as well as with glowing skin - You’ll be beaming in more ways that one.

The treatment starts with the exfoliation, steam and deep cleanse using a Clarisonic Brush which stimulates circulation in the whole face and prepares the skin for the powerful brightening mask that follows. After the mask is removed, the therapist performs the deeply relaxing, and age-defying, facial massage using luxurious Rose Quartz Crystals to soothe and cool the skin, as well as improve circulation.

If this wasn’t enough to render skin that feels heavenly and at least 10 years younger, then a professional Lifting and Soothing Mask is applied to reduce lines and wrinkles, followed by the brightening boost of the concentrated Skin Radiance Intensive Serum. As you can imagine, the results are instantly visible.

Skin looks plumper, feeling deeply nourished and looking radiant and healthy. All in only 90 minutes!

Lastly, and for the ultimate finishing touch, the technician will offer to apply the Naturally Radiant Tinted Moisturiser to provide a sheer, lightweight layer of natural looking colour. As you relax and let your face get pampered and nourished with ESPA’s phenomenal products, you will get also treated to either a hair mask, also using amazingly natural products, or to a lovely shoulders, arms and hands massage, making this the ultimate self-care experience.

The Ultimate Radiance & Renewal Facial at the Ritz-Carlton Spa Doha is ideal for all skin types and ages, and great results are noticed more in those with hyperpigmentation or skin dullness or tiredness. Now, go on and start your New Year … Bright!
