Tried and tested: SPC Active Facial Glow

You know you're somewhere deserving of its five stars when you show up rained on, with a rash on your face, and the doorman still looks delighted to see you. Technically, the poor fellow should have shielded his eyes and asked me if I was lost. But I was at the Baglioni in Kensington, and such behaviour would just not do. They were so nice to me you'd think I was Princess Bea. Or at least a Geldof.

Anyway, I was there to visit the spa which now offers treatments and products by the divine Stoke Park Club also known as SPC. Formulated by and for the Buckinghamshire hotel and spa, the range for the face and body is made using rose, kiwi and ginger to name but a few ingredients that leave your skin looking marvellous and smelling delicious.
I had the SPC Active Facial Glow treatment and it certainly did what it said on the tin. As mentioned, I arrived with a rash on my face. I can't explain how this happened, it is a mystery. All I know is that, as a very vain person, I was not pleased. A rashy face does not an attractive lady make.

 After explaining my distress to the understanding therapist, she told me to relax and not to worry - lots of people get rashy faces and anyway she would fix it. And that she did.
The facial is a deep cleanse and exfoliation followed by lymphatic drainage and a facial massage to reduce puffiness. The therapist then performs a relaxing scalp massage while a face mask gets to work.
Being practically narcoleptic, I was asleep for half of this. However, the parts I was awake for were blissful, and waking up the following day, the rash had disappeared. Just. Like. That.
Amazing facial, gorgeous products and a beautiful spa.
