REVIVE SKIN AND SPA
I will revive
Kate was delighted to be invited to Market Harborough’s new luxury day spa, Revive Skin and Spa
THERE IS NOW a day spa in Market Harborough. No longer do you need to travel for miles and set aside an entire day to enjoy luxurious spa facilities. Now you can spend a few blissful hours enjoying a local spa with a raft of treatments and still be in time to pick up the children from school. Or you can finish work and head over to Revive Skin and Spa on St Mary’s Road for a refreshing pick me up before you head home for the evening.
Jenny Taylor has run Revive Skin Clinic in Market Harborough for over five years, building up an excellent reputation as an expert in skin health with particular focus on conditions such as rosacea, acne, pigmentation and ageing. The clinic o ers a multitude of advanced face and body treatments including HIFU Non Surgical acelifts, Laser ejuvenation and Laser Hair emoval, Skin esurfacing, Micro needling and aesthetics. The list is huge and varied and they use medical grade pHformula products that give impressive results. Jenny is the national trainer and educator of pHformula to clinics across the U , so she really knows her stu .
But enny realised that as well as results driven skin treatments, her clients were also looking for a place to relax and unwind that didn’t feel too clinical and where they could choose other treatments such as massages, skin boosting facials, manicures and pedicures. And also enjoy the benefits of spa facilities.
In anuary this year, after a great deal of hard work and attention to detail, enny and her husband Andy opened their three storey spa housing the skin clinic on the top oor, with treatment rooms and the unisex spa facilities taking up the rest of the building.
The signature colours of teal, navy and gold are used throughout creating a luxurious, tasteful and deeply tran uil atmosphere. enny wants visitors to the spa to fully relax and unwind and, because there are no more than six people in at a time, to never feel crowded or rushed. You can choose a completely bespoke experience to suit how much time you have or what mood you’re in. The full experience gives you 4. hours to enjoy the large acu i, Infra red sauna, Turkish steam room and the relax room with a choice of 0, 0 or 0 minute treatments and a delicious afternoon tea. If you haven’t got the time for that you could opt for a treatment and use of the spa facilities, or skip the spa and enjoy a massage then afternoon tea, or wallow in the facilities followed by tea.

I was very fortunate to be invited to enjoy the full works and was greeted with a non alcoholic glass of fi on arrival, but that could just as easily have been rosecco. Then, as I want to start on a course of facials, enny took me straight upstairs to have my skin scanned by a very high tech piece of e uipment. Having originally worked as a nurse, primarily in community care, enny has a wonderfully warm manner and immediately puts you at ease whatever the results of your skin scan!
But as my focus was on seeing what the spa had to o er I was keen to get started. After a uick change into my complimentary robe and slippers, I went through to the spa area and immediately sank into the huge acu i which is big enough for six people. As I was on my own, I made sure I sat in all the di erent seats to try out all the jets. Then I headed for the Infra red sauna. ormally I’m not keen on a dry heat, but this warms your core first which is less dehydrating than a normal sauna and is particularly popular with people who use it after they’ve been to the gym as it reaches deeply into tired muscles. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish steam room and could feel the tension of a hard week start to seep away. Then I hopped round all of them once more before sitting in the rest room with a large glass of filtered water. The background lighting and music was at just the right level and I was too relaxed to even read my book, so when my therapist Marika came to call me, she found I’d do ed o .
This would be a great place to come with a group of friends as it’s intimate enough for you to easily catch up with each other but also be able to switch o and take some down time, particularly when you go upstairs for your treatment. I had a 0 minute Driftaway’ body massage which I have to say, I did. Every treatment whether it’s a massage or a facial, has an opening and closing ritual of a foot cleanse and a hand massage. Driftaway was a massage that just kept on giving, incorporating body brushing, a scalp massage and the exact firm pressure I’d re uested. And by the end of it, Marika had to, again, gently wake me up.
The deep tissue work it out’ massage has proved the most popular so far and I’ve already promised myself I’ll return for that one. All the sta are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and aim to create a tran uil experience for you, that is truly nourishing.
And that’s before you have the afternoon tea. Supplied locally, the food is brought fresh to the premises every day. What a treat! ollowing an afternoon of relaxing in the spa then winding down even further with the massage, I’m surprised I managed to drive home after the amount of food I managed to put away. If you come in the evening you can choose a platter of meats, cheese and wine.
Even though evive Skin and Spa has just opened, you wouldn’t know it. enny and the team have managed to create a beautifully relaxing atmosphere which appears to run like clockwork already. I was free to sample all the spa facilities at my very leisurely pace but if I’d only had a couple of hours spare, that would still have given me ample time to destress, unwind and feel utterly revived.
