Falling for Elemis | An Aqua Sana Spa Experience

There’s nothing that helps me to relax and unwind quite like a Spa day. A little pampering and some much needed time away from the world can work wonders for both mind and body. I recently had an Elemis Spa experience and have since become a huge fan of their skincare.

My Spa Experience

If you read my recent post about our Spa stay at Center Parcs, Aqua Sana, you’ll know just how necessary I find Spa breaks. I find them a wonderful excuse to pause life and come back rejuvenated. Whilst I was at the Spa, I chose to upgrade my treatment to an Elemis Biotec Radiance Renew Facial, a 55 minute treatment which is designed to tackle dull and tired looking skin. To put it bluntly, it’s exactly what I needed at the beginning of a new year! This was my first Biotec treatment using an ultrasonic peel. I was so impressed with its results that I absolutely had to speak about it.

The treatment itself was extremely relaxing. In fact, it was so relaxing that I found myself waking up to the sound of my own snoring. A little embarrassing but I hope the beauty therapist took it as a compliment! The facial itself gave immediate, visible results. I walked into the Aqua Sana with dull, tired looking skin, and walked out glowing. My skin looked so much healthier, hydrated, and brighter.

55 minutes is a pretty long treatment. During it, my therapist used a whole range of different products which all felt and smelt incredible. I was eager to read my post treatment review and product recommendations so that I could take something home with me. Although I didn’t feel as though I could justify adding many more products to my overfilling skincare shelves, I did pick up the Elemis Rehydrating Ginseng Toner. I was diagnosed with combination/dehydrated skin, thanks Winter, but since the facial, my skin has definitely thanked me for swapping out my usual Clinique toner. The Elemis toner works just as well as Clinique with regards to removing impurities. The differences are that it feels much more gentle on the skin and smells just like a Spa. The scent is so relaxing and I love using it as part of my evening skin care routine.

My treatment review consisted solely of the Hydrated Glow Cleansing Kit, which contains the toner that I’ve purchased, as well as a Cream Cleanser and Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules. I’ll definitely be keeping these products in mind for the next time I need a skincare change. Before this treatment I hadn’t had much experience with Elemis as a brand. It certainly hasn’t taken long to fully convert me. I can’t wait to try out more Elemis and will, of course, keep you updated with any recommendations. Until then I’d love to know if you’ve tried any Elemis skincare and your thoughts on it.
