Last week I got to road test the a melting honey, hot stone massage at the new Clairns spa in the lower ground floor of Selfridges beauty hall, Exchange Square.












Working in the fashion industry can be extremely stressful (believe it or not), being crouched over your laptop all day, lifting heavy boxes of samples and setting up for events; it all takes its toll. So to keep those niggley back knots at bay, preventing that stress headache and stop your mind being consumed by work thoughts 24/7 I would recommend booking you’re self in for this treatment.

Nine marble and slate stones are heated in a ‘caddy’ to a temperature of 40C and are used as an extension of the therapist’s hands to add heat and carry out precise, deep and technical massage movements to specific areas which in turn releases muscular and nervous tension, stimulates the lymphatic system to drain away toxins and restores the body’s energy flow.

This effect is intensified by a melting honey massage gel, rich in deeply relaxing or invigorating aromatic essential oils.

Arh, Bliss!

This massage in particular cost £60 and last for one hour, but the staff on the Clarins counter will offer you alternative packages to suit your budget.
