We asked Carla to share her recommendations on the key treatments she believes will have you rocking the parties in your LBD for the rest of the year with as little stress as possible.

Body Treatments

Indulge in a luxury body treatment that will leave you with soft, silky and nourished skin. All the spa body scrubs and the body treatments are carefully stabilised in order to provide deep cleanse and complete exfoliation of the body. The treatment will help you shed any dry and insipid skin and leave it feeling hydrated, rejuvenated and your skin buffed, ready for a spray tan to give you a healthy glow.

Spray Tanning

The little black dress grooming session cannot end without a spray tan for your body and face. Spray tanning is considered to be a sunless tanning session which is done by the application of a safe chemical product that provides a similar effect of tan to a natural suntan without the damage from the UV rays. For the past few years, spray tanning has gained immense popularity as natural sun tan increase the concern about sun exposure and various other health risks.

Manicure & Hand Spa

Now that you have the base. A glowing tan on your silky smooth skin, it’s time to turn the attention to your nails and hands. Cold winds and central heating can cause havoc. making your hands very dry and susceptible to chafing. A hand spa treatment with hot paraffin hand wax will rectify this, leaving your hands thoroughly nourished and beautifully smooth.

Make sure your personality shines through your nail finish, and choose either from a festive colour or more of a funky style with your manicure. Get into the festive spirit with some fun and stylish designs.

We like to keep it simple and we love a bit of Christmas sparkle like the Glitter Dipped Nails by Chalkboard Nails or just a simple finish in a festive red, green, gold or silver.
