I like a one-stop beauty shop where I can get a blow-dry at the same time as my manicure/pedicure, with a back massage and facial thrown in for good measure. At The Nail Spa and the adjoining Marquee Hair Salon at The Lakes in Dubai’s Emirates Hills, you can order all the above and be transformed at double the speed.
While spending time in the manicure chair, you may as well make the most of your downtime. The Nail Spa now offers flash facials using the Dr. Dennis Gross skincare line. Don’t let the name put you off; this New York-based skin doctor has a cult celebrity following, which includes the ever so fresh-faced Olivia Palermo. His products are really active—the tingling kind that you can feel actually working on your skin.
In November, The Nail Spa “Facials In A Flash” will be offered at half price, so you can give your skincare regime an added boost. The Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel 30-minute facial will be priced at AED/SAR 135 and the Dr. Dennis Gross Instant Glow 20-minute facial at AED/SAR 80. Both the facials use hydroxyl acid and vitamin C to prevent breakouts and brighten the skin’s surface.
You can carry on your treatment in the comfort of your own home with the famous Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel pads . Sweep one of the pads soaked in alpha hydroxyl acid over your face each night to keep the lurking nasties at bay and see your complexion reap the benefits.
