Anti-ageing wearables: The future skincare devices to keep you looking young Botox, fillers and industrial-strength chemical peels, make some space. Poised to hit the mainstream later this year, skincare wearable tech is the latest magic bullet to add to the anti-ageing arsenal and it's coming to a beauty counter near you. Hyper-personalised and fully interactive, it's no wonder that the beauty industry is excited about wearable tech that monitors and improves our skin. Research by Mintel has identified bespoke, ultra-customised beauty as one of the hoest trends in beauty between now and 2020. These days, we want skincare that is precisely tailored to our needs and beauty companies are falling over themselves to launch ever more individualised products. And there is the potential for an awful lot of money to be made. While the global wearable tech market is set to treble in the next five years with a projected turnover of $34 billion by 2020, the antiageing market – predicted to enjoy a super-healthy annual growth rate of 7.8% – is expected to be worth a staggering $191.7 billion by the end of the decade.

Luxury SPA News
A wellness symposium, which shines the the spotlight on the $8.3 billion industry in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA), was launched at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) at the Dubai World Trade Centre this week.
“Wellness travel is not only growing twice as fast as tourism overall, it’s evolving in bold new directions, both globally and across the Middle East,” said Susie Ellis, chairman and CEO of the Global Wellness Institute.
It also sets out to analyse MENA’s thriving domestic (4 million trips) and inbound (4.5 million trips) wellness tourism markets – as well as trends in outbound wellness tourism from the Middle East.
Having already identified the demand for wellness, ATM launched a dedicated Wellness and Spa Lounge in 2016, connecting Middle East wellness and spa buyers with international suppliers and this years is set to get an even beer response.
The World Spa Awards now in its third year recognises the growth of this important sector and this years ceremony on Saturday, 9th December 2017 at the stunning JW Marrio Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, Phu Quoc, Vietnam
The Dubai hotel spa market experienced a 9% increase in the average number of treatments sold per day in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 and 25 new hotel spas are expected to open this year, making a total of over 200 spas.

DUBAI 29 oCToBEr 2017 | ArmANi HoTEL dUBAi Many theories have been proposed as to the origin of the word "Dubai". One theory suggests the word was used to describe the souq, which was similar to the souq in Ba.[19] Another theory states that the name came from a word meaning "money", as people from Dubai were commonly believed to be rich due to the thriving trading center of the location. An Arabic proverb says "Daba Dubai" meaning "They came with a lot of money." According to Fedel Handhal, a scholar on the UAE's history and culture, the word Dubai may have come from the word daba (a past tense derivative of yadub, which means "to creep"), referring to the slow flow of Dubai Creek inland. The poet and scholar Ahmad Mohammad Obaid traces it to the same word, but to its alternative meaning of "baby locust" due to the abundant nature of locusts in the area before selement.
VENUE Armani Hotel Dubai The first word in luxury, the last and most of those in between, Armani Hotel Dubai – the debut hotel from fashion designer Giorgio Armani – occupies 10 of the 160 floors in the iconic Burj Khalifa. Accommodation consists of 78 rooms and 82 suites, which come in 11 different sizes. Regardless of which room you plump for, expect floor-to-ceiling windows, bespoke furnishings, king-sized beds and iPads that control everything - from the 40-inch flat-screen televisions to the curtains, lighting and front door. However what really sets the Armani Hotel Dubai apart is its dedication to personalisation: every guest is assigned a personal butler-concierge whose only goal is to ensure you are spoilt non-stop. www.armanihoteldubai.com
