Our therapists went along to perform facials, massages and pani’s and pedi’s in our gorgeous make-shift spa (seen below) to all the models working on LFW. Models also took away a goody bag which contained various Sanctuary products to help them relax even more at home.

Offering a wide range of facials including Carita and Environ facials to ultra relaxing massages, there’s sure to be something for your needs. Whether you want to have a few hours of pampering or just a quick lunch-time fix these conveniently located spas offer it all.

Each spa has a retail area where you can try before you buy, (something Boots stores don’t offer) and our knowledgeable retail assistants are on hand if you want advice/ tips on the products or treatments.

Given where the spas are located its understandable that they don’t have the space capacity to have pools, jacuzzi’s etc that the London spa does but if it’s an hour or two of pampering that you require, along with some lounging in a fluffy robe, our Boutique spas will hot the spot.

Check out some press coverage on our Boutique spas.

Venue magazine (Sanctuary Spa) – 09.02.11

This super relaxing treatment takes the traditional hot stone massage to another level. Heated Tiger Clam shells are used to relieve the deepest aches and pains within a full body massage, whilst hydrating oils moisturise the skin, leaving you feeling in a state of complete relaxation.�
I’m yet to try to treatment out for myself (I’ll be booking myself in shortly!) but I’m told it’s a deeply relaxing experience and is a top fav within the Sanctuary office and spa.

For your benefit entirely, many beauty editors have tried this treatment out themselves and have also loved it. See the reviews below for yourself…

Opening last July and offering the latest cutting edge facials and de-stressing massages, this pampering haven is a must-visit for any woman wishing to seek some time for themselves.

Visit the spa’s retail area to browse our products and try before you buy or chat to our spa consultants who are always on hand to offer skin care advice or tips on how to use the products.

The callus treatment works by covering the heel and ball of the feet with The Callus Treatment Gel, you then cover them with the pads provided and leave for 10-15 minutes. After that you get the satisfaction of watching your ‘summer ready’ feet appear before your eyes by (painlessly) scraping of the dead skin with the file provided.

Sounds gross but you’ll be amazed with the results!! Of course, now all I need is a new pair of sandals to go with it…

Now that the clocks have gone forward and  it’s ‘officially’ Summer, it’s time to pack away all your woolly jumpers, reveal a bit more skin and pamper yourself in preparation for the months ahead. What better way than to indulge in our award winning products!

Our heavenly Salt Scrub has just won Woman and Home Best Beauty Buys award for Best Body Scrub as voted by their readers and is ideal for refining skin texture and revealing smooth, soft skin perfect for those vest tops you will be digging out!

Popstar and ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ contestant Sabrina Washington swears by our scrub. Talking to ‘Fabulous’ magazine she quotes: “I haven’t got any cellulite yet. Rubbing Sanctuary Salt Scrub on my body and on the backs of my legs helps stave it off.” After reading the article (have you seen her legs?!), I am definitely making sure I add our Salt Scrub to my routine!

And while we’re talking awards – after winning Woman & Home Best Rich Moisturiser 2009 why not try our luxurious body butter to add the perfect finish.

Good Luck!

We invited a member of The Good Spa Guide team to a pampering day at our Covent Garden Spa, with which we were rewarded a brilliant score of four out of five bubbles!

Once you’ve finished reading what they had to say, the only thing you will be thinking is where do I book?!

Just follow the link…

All from different backgrounds, they will be living together and working together as they turn their backs on the everyday grind and slip into the role of supermodels, being aided and mentored throughout by top fashion designer Scott Henshall. It’s a unique chance to reinvent themselves with a new career in this thrilling series that literally takes women from their kitchen sink to the catwalk!
The age of the teen model is over – it’s time for some real women to take the crown!”

Our back stage spa was dropped in on by many a celeb all wanting to escape the hustle and bustle for a moment or two and take five to relax in our amazing chill out spa.

Our very own Emma got flirty with Peter Andre, telling him she was cold so like a true gent he gave her his coat (and a kiss!) to keep her warm…ahh! Peter enjoyed a relaxing foot massage, if you want to see Pete and his feet check out the clip: http://www.brits.co.uk/videos/interview-with-peter-andre

Emma also got flirty (you can tell she had a difficult evening’s work!) with Capital Radio’s Kevin Hughes whilst our lovely therapist Catherine massaged his tense and tired shoulders as he tried to get her to dish to dirt on all the celebs popping in for treatments -  true to the therapist rule book Catherine kept it all to herself; what happens in the therapist room, stays in the therapist room!

Check out the link to see Kevin Hughes and Margherita Taylor from Captial on a back stage tour – Emma’s the very small looking person around 2.11mins in talking to Kevin Hughes -  maybe we should have given her a box to stand on or at least some heels! Only joking Emma I’m sure he was extra tall rather than you being extra small!?

Unfortunately, Emma and Genevieve only got as close as her dressing room in meeting Lady Ga Ga but that didn’t stop them rubbing shoulders with all the other celebs. Both Nicola Appleton and Melanie Blatt dropped in to say how much they loved The Sanctuary the last time they visited and said they would love to pop in again soon for another pamper session; you never know you may be rubbing shoulders with them next time you visit the spa.

The Sugar Babes nabbed themselves a goody bag as did Marvin from JLS as he enjoyed a head, neck and shoulder massage. Both Florence and Dizzy Rascal took some time out for some much needed R&R before their performance, with Florence and her 10 harpists (!) getting their mitts on all number of our products

Comments from Emma from working on the night “It was an amazing evening! I can’t begin to count how many stars I spoke to (Sugarbabes, Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, Tom the lead singer of Kasabian, Peter Andre, JLS boys, Jo Wiley, Emma B, Jodie Kidd, Natasha Kahn from Bat to Lashes, Florence….. and soooo many more!)”  so many celebs so little time …. jealous Moi? Well maybe only teeny bit.
