Towards the end of last week I was feeling very excited about the prospect of visiting Florence for our travel pages and also to attend the magnificent wedding of The Sloaney’s former ‘Bride-To-Be’ Natasha Eddery. With such a special occasion on the horizon, I wanted to enjoy a little TLC prior to boarding my plane and thus booked to have a LumaFirm treatment at the luxurious Peak Health Club and Spa in the Jumeirah Carlton Tower.

The LumaFirm Body Wrap is not just about pampering; it is also renowned for giving your skin a radiant glow while helping to tighten all areas. Seeing as I would be spending some of my time sunbathing by a pool, this was particularly appealing as any last minute treatments to help with slimming always go down a treat!

I enjoy visiting spas that are located within hotels as they always offer maximum relaxation and are usually relatively lavish. The Peak Health Club is no different and on arrival I was whisked up to the top floor of the prestigious building that overlooks Belgravia. As I stepped out of the lift and entered the spa area I was blown away by the stunning views from the café section of the health club. It is a truly impressive venue, with facilities to match.

My therapist, Phillipa, was very experienced and has been based at the hotel since moving from a spa in Putney. It was my first body wrap and before the treatment began Phillipa talked me through various steps, explaining that Pevonia products would be used throughout. These products are particularly good for your skin as they are completely natural and help with anti-aging.

Aside from the application of key products, the hour-long treatment also featured a 20 minute full body massage and a 15 minute wrap.  There is no shower involved as warm cloth is used to remove excess product. The idea is that you try and leave it to soak into your skin for as long as possible.

The LumaFirm Firm and Glow Body Wrap has been designed to help firm, brighten and lighten your skin. Although it is recommended that you book a course of six treatments to see the very best results, it is certainly worthwhile also having it as a one-off treatment.

Afterwards, my skin felt incredibly soft all over and the products clearly penetrated deeply into the skin as the pleasant fragrance lasted for more than just one day. The scent left on your skin is one of the highlights of this indulgence, as well as the ultra soft feeling. The massage element is particularly important as this helps to target stubborn fat deposits, such as those found at the top of your thighs or on your tummy. Meanwhile, a further advantage of the treatment is that it improves the texture of the skin to ensure there is a smooth finish and a reduction in the visibility of fine lines.

The treatment acts as an intensive boost for the entire of your body and leaves you feeling relaxed, rehydrated and more toned. I found it to be an ideal pick-me-up before my short stay in Italy and it was perfect for ensuring that my skin looked in the best condition possible for the wedding. It proved to be the ideal preparation for a trip abroad, as well as a special occasion.

The good news is that this month you can take advantage of a special reduction in the pricing of the treatment. It usually costs £90 but it will be available for £67.50 from now until the 30th of September. If you are going to visit the spa I recommend taking some extra time before your treatment to enjoy the wonderful facilities and fabulous view.
