Christmas party season: head-to-toe pampering
Whether seeking a pre-Christmas pick-me-up or all-out glamour, preen to perfection at these esteemed London addresses
For your complexion…
Tucked away down a quiet mews street in Chelsea, Cloud Twelve is a tranquil haven of wellness, which uses exclusively organic and vegan brands. Founded by Jenya Di Pierro, it specialises in Chinese and naturopathic medicines, as well as being one of few places in London with both a salt and steam room. The innovative new Cloud Fascia Facial is billed as a holistic facelift, which uses hands-on fascial massage techniques to lift and tone. The results are astonishing – by applying gentle, considered pressure to areas of the face, drooping lines are all but erased for a contoured, bright complexion. This innovative facial will take you from tired to toned in 90 minutes.
The Fascia Facial Treatment is Available Exclusively to Cloud Twelve; £175, cloudtwelve.co.uk
