50 | February 2012 | woman this month Showcase The Gift She’ll Adore DESSANGE Whether you suggest it to your partner as a gift or whether you decide to treat yourself, don’t let this Valentine’s Day go uncelebrated — pick one of Dessange’s luxury packages and get the pampering you deserve. Dessange ladies spa, located within the sanctuary of their compound in Adliya, is known throughout Bahrain for its top quality spa treatments. From facials, which make use of the latest Dermalogica technologies, to massages that blend sensual aromatherapy with deep, relaxing muscle relief, they offer only the best and most luxurious services. Imagine, then, spending Valentine’s morning, or indeed any day during the month of love, enjoying a whole range of these gorgeous treatments as part of one of their pampering packages. I headed down to Dessange to be treated to their Zest package — a fantastic combination of hydrobath, facial, shampoo, blow dry, manicure, pedicure and makeup — the ultimate in total-body makeovers. The hydrobath was something of a revelation to me, having never experienced something of its kind before. Left alone to enjoy the warm, delightfully scented water was pure bliss and the feeling of being gently massaged by constantly changing jets of water, from the tips of my toes right up to the base of my neck, only enhanced the experience. The facial was, without a doubt, my favourite part of the whole experience. The deep cleansing process, followed by the special scrub and humidity treatment left my face feeling totally purified and toxin-free. There was even the added bonus of a little foot massage and a shoulder rub! Onwards to the salon, where I was met with light refreshments and a lovely, healthy lunch to keep me going. The manicure and pedicure was thoroughly and professionally done, with a relaxing nail soak and a light, almond scented scrub for my hands and arms. The makeup and hair team are an excellent bunch, as friendly as they are versed in their particular arts. I was treated to a softer, yet still striking makeup look, which was sufficiently understated to be wearable in the office, but which would make a great transitional look if I were to head out to a bar after work or to a dinner date with a loved one. As well as the Zest package, there are a number of other options to choose from. For a day fit for royalty, you would be wise to request your partner treats you to the Bliss package — an amazing combination of hydrobath, Moroccan bath, aromatic body massage, facial, spa manicure, spa pedicure, hair treatment and scalp massage. Or, if you have been working particularly hard since the turn of the New Year, then why not try their deeply relaxing Chill Out package? Call 17 713-999
