Raffles Spa at Raffles Dubai prides itself on offering customised, result-oriented luxury treatments. Starting January 2012, Raffles spa will offer you a whole new facial experience with Eve Lom .

Dubai, UAE -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2011 -- Raffles Spa located at the Raffles Dubai Luxury Hotel (http://www.raffles.com/dubai/) prides itself on offering customised, result-oriented luxury treatments in an enchanting private sanctuary. Starting January 2012, Raffles spa will offer you a whole new facial experience with Eve Lom "the Queen of Cleansing", one of the world's most acclaimed and sought-after facialists.

Eve Lom Signature Facial 90 minutes
Eve Lom's philosophy is based on the fact that every living organism pulsates with energy, sending out information about the physical, biological and emotional state of the body. Through regular cleaning, decongestion and exfoliation this energy can be regulated to help maintain healthy skin.

A consultation with your therapist is followed by a thorough cleanse with the legendary Eve Lom cleanser. A paraffin wax mask is then applied, the heat of which will open the pores, enabling the therapist to extract more easily and thoroughly. This is followed by a half an hour of lymphatic drainage and acupressure massage to the chest, arms, back and face to encourage decongestion. After the massage, Eve Lom's camphor based rescue mask is applied, which is removed with a hot, chamomile soaked muslin cloth. An ice-cold compress is then applied to refresh and revitalise the skin and to close the pores.

Eve Lom Ultimate Cleanse 60 minutes
When time is a factor, a one hour deep cleansing treatment including extractions is the perfect answer. This is based on Eve's Facial to achieve clean, decongested, radiant skin but does not include the extended treatment and lymphatic drainage.

To celebrate the introduction of this amazing skin care to Raffles, you will receive a 100ml complimentary cleansing balm that Vogue called "probably the best cleanser in the world" when you book and receive the Eve Lom Signature Facial during the month of January.

About Eve Lom
Evolving from the cult cleansing balm that Vogue called "probably the best cleanser in the world", Eve Lom has developed into a comprehensive range that is simple, beautiful and effective for all skin types. Created over 25 years ago by one of the world's leading facial therapists, the UK based skincare brand has a devoted clientele and wins numerous awards.

The legendary Cleanser - an aromatic, multi-tasking balm - continues to be the cornerstone of the range. Its natural based ingredients and luxurious, balmy texture allow clients to create their own spa ritual at home.

Explore the simple, beautiful and highly effective range to experience why it is a favourite for those in the know. Eve Lom is available at luxury retailers and leading spas worldwide.
