With Autumn in full swing, treat your skin with these ultra-hydrating facials combining premium skincare products, cutting-edge technology, professional techniques and world-class spa facilities

Autumn may just be the best time of the year to give your skin some love. With drier air causing even drier skin, it’s worth investing in more intense facials to keep your complexion hydrated in the colder months. Here are five of the most hydrating facial treatments to give your skin an autumnal glow.

Treatment: Stem Cell Revitalising Facial
Skincare brand: Margy’s Monte-Carto
Therapist: Mi knows how to relax all your nerves with a skillful head massage, and she’s helpful with skincare tips, too

A collaboration with Monaco spa concept Margy’s Monte Carlo, this 90-minute facial treatment uses a concentrated blend of Swiss apple stem cell extract to stimulate the vitality of the skin and deliver powerful anti-ageing properties. 

Using Margy’s Monte Carlo “Lift-Up” technique, the treatment begins with a face steam and algae patches gently massaged into the face, followed by the Extra Rich Firming Mask to reduce fine lines and promote a smooth and radiant appearance. 

Promises to regenerate and strengthen the skin cells, the next step is the Stem Cells Collagen face mask, which combines with the highly active Illuminating Serum, Emulsion to leave your skin hydrated and radiant.
