There was an aspect that I can only describe as ‘smushing’ - it wasn’t unpleasant, just uniquely intense
, I recently decided to return to try one of their new additions: the Swiss Oxygen Facial . The treatment description is what hooked me in: a “75-minute invigorating facial that stimulates, strengthens, and purifies the skin ... the ultimate antidote to tired, lifeless-looking skin”. While I wasn’t entirely convinced about the “lifeless” part, I was definitely in need of some invigoration.
As the therapist led me down the dimly lit hallway to the treatment room, I found myself wondering about the massage element. My shoulders were, for lack of a better description, up around my ears from stress, muscle tension and long periods of sitting hunched over my desk. I became increasingly hopeful that there would indeed be a massage included.
I tried a high-street mole scanning service: far from cheap but it beats long waiting lists to see a dermatologist For a lengthy period, the therapist expertly pummeled my neck and shoulders, working out the giant knots. It was one of the most wonderful tension-releasing massages I’ve ever experienced. Thanks to my choice of firm pressure, the massage was rather full-on at times – occasionally on the verge of painful, but never quite crossing that line. I’d love to tell you exactly how long this part of the treatment lasted, but I fell asleep and lost track – a 10/10 experience in my book.
