New Treatment at Lush Spa - The Comforter!

The cosy and organic looking area where you are explained what the treatment is about and 

later you can relax there having a cup of tea if you want...
It's like being at someone's country house kitchen, a pretty homey atmosphere...

The two new products used in The Comforter? treatment  -

the hot chocolate body scrub which melts when heated and the rose serum...

Just arrived for the treatment, looking absolutely exhausted! :)

 

The Comforter? treatment room...

Once you get under the super soft and thick duvet you ring the bell to get the dreamy treatment started!

An hour later, while you are still floating on clouds after the treatment, 

you have a special 'magical' drink waiting for you back where you started, at the consultation kitchen table!

A syrup is poured over candy-floss, which dissolves into a sweet deliciousness 

and you are reminded "not to take life too seriously!"...

The Lush Spa is in the basement of the Shop in Chealsea on King's Road...

Last night I was invited to try the new treatment at the Lush Spa in Chelsea, which was a great experience! The last few weeks have been completely exhausting so I was really looking forward to be smothered in chocolate and rose... It's an hour of hot chocolate all over body scrub and massage, but it's a little more special than just that... The whole experience puts you in a very comforting and almost whimsical state of mind... The textures, the aromas, the unique rolling massage, the super soft and fluffy heated duvet, the upbeat and relaxing at the same time music [composed by Simon Emmerson] - it all brings you back to your childhood and a happy place...

At first you enter a pretty psychedelic room, filled with über pink lighting and green stars jumping all over the room... But the magic begins when you slide-in between the 'sheets'  and find yourself horizontal on a super comfortable memory foam mattress covered with a super cosy heated duvet... Considering you just came from the cold and wet outside, just that already felt heavenly! When I closed my eyes the therapist put a nicely scented eye mask on, I figured it was lavender and perhaps a mixture of other relaxing herbs... From that moment and until the end of the treatment I felt like I was floating on clouds, it was beautiful and dreamy... The melted hot chocolate scrub is applied with massaging strokes, again the warm texture is very relaxing and exactly what you want on a cold autumn or winter's day! I think getting this treatment as a gift for a friend or yourself is a lovely seasonal treat...

At some point the room was filled with a beautiful rose aroma and next thing you know you are asked to open up your eyes and 'look at bubbles', for a second you feel confused but then you see lots of rose-scented bubbles floating in the air, instantly remembering cheerful and carefree moments from your childhood... The massage is also quite unusual, basically it feels like a giant soft toy is gently stepping on you, I'd imagine everyone has their own interpretation, but that's how I felt... 

And then to finish off you get the moisturising rose scented serum applied all over the body, although it feels very smooth and buttery it does not leave an oily residue on your skin... And finally you get a sweet drink served in a Martini glass, a chunk of candy-floss is purred over with some pale pink potion, to signify the importance of not taking life too seriously all the time! I left Lush Spa with a super soft skin and super relaxed mind... On my cab ride home I was still feeling dreamy and seeing bubbles...
