December 2017 www.womanthismonth.com showcase 52 movements, including between the eyes and along the jawline. The pampering had only begun, as she then mixed together Celestial Black Diamond Serum and Celestial Black Diamond Cream, gently spreading it over my face, neck, mid back and shoulders. Nan then started what’s called the Platysma Lift. Platysma is a broad sheet of muscle that rises from the chest and shoulders, over the collarbone and upwards in a slanting manner along the sides of the neck. I had never experienced this before – it was done so expertly that my muscles were playing to the tunes of Nan’s hands. With every circular twist and whipping motion under the neck and along the jawline, I could feel my face completely relaxing, to the point that I must have drifted off and dreamed of butterflies, for when I woke, it was to Nan’s fingers gently fluttering my cheeks. This relaxing procedure continued as she massaged down and around the shoulders and up the back of my neck. Once my skin had soaked up all the products, it was time for the face and eye mask. Nan applied Celestial Black Diamond Bio Cellulose Eye Mask under each eye and the Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask to cover and mould my face. While we waited for the masks to take effect, I was given a dry head massage as well as a hand and arm massage with Celestial Black Diamond Cream. After about 20 minutes, Nan delicately peeled off the masks and rubbed the residue into the skin until it was completely absorbed. I was then treated to additional boosters – a small amount of Celestial Black Diamond Contour Eye Gel and Black Diamond Eye Cream around the eyes, gently massaged, finishing off with the Celestial Black Diamond Cream to the entire face and neck. If I thought that my earlier treatment was one of the best facials I’ve ever had, I thought wrong, because this one delivered so much more. I was most certainly glowing, not just because of the visibly stunning results on my face, but because I was feeling genuinely revitalised and like a million dollars! Call 17 713-999. If you’re a regular reader of our publications, then you might remember my earlier review of Dessange Paris Bahrain’s 111 SKIN Y Theorem Reparative Facial. This time, I’ve given the 111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Facial a try. Meant for a more mature skin (as it targets age spots), it’s also great for those with a dry, dull and dehydrated complexion. If the experience of my last visit was anything to go by, I was most definitely looking forward to this one. I was greeted by the lovely Nan, senior therapist, who I remembered from one of my earlier visits. After a quick consultation about my lifestyle and skincare regime, I found out that I would also be treated to an additional neck and décolleté treatment. Nan started with the cleansing procedure using Lift Off Purifying Cleanser, working it over my entire face and neck. After wiping with hot towels, she repeated the procedure using Lift Off Exfoliating Cleanser, leaving it on for a few minutes. Meanwhile, she applied the cleanser to the back of my hands. Once my face was wiped clean, she applied Daily Orbit Energising Essence, which has a rejuvenating formula that balances the skin and provides instant hydration. I could feel my skin starting to breath underneath this refreshing product. After blotting my face dry with a muslin cloth, she moved her attention back to my hands, wiping and drying them, and spreading a small amount of Celestial Black Diamond Serum, to let them soak in all the goodness. Now it was time for my favourite part of the facial – the massage. Nan dabbed a little Celestial Black Diamond Contour Cream around my eyes, nasal labia and upper lip. Using a massaging ball applicator, she worked the areas in small circular and rubbing This luxurious pampering treatment is everything you could ask for in a facial and more, says Apple Sharma.
