Upstairs and to the back of the store, entering is literally like walking into an oasis miles away from the hustle and bustle of town, whatever the weather.

Adria and I chose treatments that best suited our time of life; Adria, one Semester down in Year 1 of her degree opted for the 25 minute Fresh Facial Spa Treatment and a Tangled Hair Spa Treatment, while I, very much into mid-life, opted for what promised to be a naturally lifted look with the Rewilding Facial.

Adria’s experience
From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly and eager to help anyway they could. Throughout the treatment I was comfortable and the most relaxed I think I have ever been. I opted for the Fresh Facial Spa Treatment and a Tangled Hair Spa Treatment.

Afterwards, my skin was left feeling hydrated, soft and lighter. Days later I am still getting complimented on its clearness and smoothness.

After my treatments were finished, I was treated to a complementary drink while relaxing in the spa’s quiet homely space. I can honestly say this was one of my best experiences and would highly recommend to anyone who needs a quite relaxing time.

Helen’s experience
The Rewilding Facial, over 50 minutes, starts with the therapist talking you through the products – laid out before you – so you know exactly the journey your face will go on, as well as the journey the products have made from around the world to Lush Spa.

I do have to say it’s wonderful to hear the sustainable approaches being taken by Lush to ensure both in terms of their environmental approach and their ethical approach to supporting individuals and business across the globe.

The Rewilding Facial takes your face from warmth to cold therapy with sculpting massage in between including lymphatic face and neck message – incredibly firm but you can see and feel the results when you leave.

The music that accompanies the massage is bespoke and I think this is so clever – each ‘soundscape’ is created for each individual treatment in the Lush Spa – and for the Rewilding Facial I was transported into the great outdoors. There was an element of folk songs and natural sounds, it really was incredibly relaxing.

The Fresh Facial Spa Treatment lasts 25mins, cost £55
Tangled Hair Spa Treatment lasts 25mins, cost £55
