Treatment: Elemis' Nurturing Massage for Mothers-to-Be Massage.
Being pregnant means you have to be extra careful when going for spa treatments, but Elemis' Nurturing Massage for Mothers-to-Be is designed so that it's safe, whichever trimester you're in. Even carrying around the smallest of baby bumps leaves your muscles stretched and gives you aches in places you never knew existed. This massage has been created to tackle these problem areas, without harming you or your baby.
First off, I was relieved that this treatment didn't involve a massage table with a huge hole in the middle for my stomach. Instead, it makes clever use of a giant bean bag. Your spine, legs, arms and hands are gently massaged on either side, using Elemis' Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend. This miracle oil hydrates dry skin, improves elasticity and, get this, prevents the dreaded stretch marks. It also smells really good. The massage finishes with a cool burst as Elemis' Instant Refreshing Gel is applied to your feet to reduce swelling. But it doesn't end there.
It's onto the face for a mini facial, using the brand's Cellular Recover Serum, which helps with circulation under the face and the legendary Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, to leave the skin feeling fresh and glowing. Many of the pains and tensions that I've been complaining about for the last 22 weeks melted away, and I was even complemented on the brightness of my complexion on coming back to the office. No wonder this treatment has won awards.
