Escape from the hustle and bustle of London life with Aromatherapy Associates’ new City Stress Buster treatment.
Luxury beauty brand Aromatherapy Associates opened its flagship boutique and treatment rooms in London’s Knightsbridge to a very warm welcome last month. Part store, part spa; the boutique is absolutely stunning with the ground floor decked out in soft creams, whilst brightly coloured apothecary bottles fill the shelves.
The City Stress Buster treatment starts with a consultation with the Aromatherapy Associates therapist. Sitting down over a relaxed cup of tea you will talk through not only how you are physically feeling but also mentally – be it in need of a confidence boost, stressed, tired, experiencing tummy trouble, tension headaches or simply just wanting to be pampered. Based on this the therapist will tailor-make the treatment around your needs.
Next, your therapist will choose four of Aromatherapy Associates essential oils that will help to aid all the problems city life throws at you. One by one, you will be asked to smell the oils and there should be one or two that immediately stick out and that you are drawn to. This is your body’s way of saying, “that’s what I need”. Your therapist will then tailor-make a bespoke blend of oils based on your decision.
Starting with a soothing Rose Cleanser, the therapist will remove your makeup if you wish and cleanse your face, allowing your skin to reap all the natural goodness and benefits of the essential oils. What follows is 60 minutes of pure bliss as your body, face and head are massaged with the oils specifically chosen for your needs. A combination of Frankincense (to ease muscle aches and clear the mind), Ylang-Ylang (a natural confidence booster) and Lavender (which calms and soothes the body and mind) are worked into the skin to boost circulation, nurture skin and help with a whole host of other problems we battle day-to-day. You are left feeling calm but energised, your muscles will feel much more supple and your skin silky soft.
The City Stress Buster really will benefit everyone due to the fact that it is completely tailor-made to suit your needs. A must for busy mums that are in desperate need of a body and mind pick-me-up.
The Aromatherapy Associates City Stress Buster is priced at £90 or £450 for six sessions and is available at the Aromatherapy Associates Boutique & Treatment Rooms, Knightsbridge.
