Superfoods on the Spa menu at Hand Picked Hotels

This month, both Hand Picked Hotels’ Jersey properties, the AA Five Star Grand Jersey Hotel and Spa and the AA Four Red Star L’Horizon Beach Hotel and Spa have introduced a healthy treat to ensure Spa guests get some of their five-a-day, adding an ELEMIS ‘Superfood facial’ to the menu of bespoke treatments.

The amazing nutritional boost consists of the same active ingredients found on supermarket shelves – broccoli, cucumber, flax seed, daikon radish, rosehip, macadamia, poppy seed, rice bran and meadowfoam.

Commenting on the new treatment Matt Riley, Health Club Manager at L’Horizon Beach Hotel and Spa said, “We all know the importance of getting our five-a-day to keep us healthy and active and we’re really excited about this treatment which is rich in superfoods and designed to treat stressed, dull skin with really energising ingredients”.

Going on to discuss the benefits of the ‘tasty treatment’ he continued, “What is good for the body is good for the skin and nothing packs a more powerful nutritional punch than superfoods. Broccoli seed oil is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin C so it really nourishes and softens the skin, giving it a fantastic glow; while flax seed is rich in Omega-3 so it soothes, seals in moisture and is great for any complexion.”

Visitors to the Spas who are short on time can ensure they get their dose of feel good ‘food’ with a 55 minute Superfood facial, and those with more time to indulge can enjoy an 85 minute long treatment which also includes a scalp massage as well as a hand and arm massage.

Noella Gabriel, Co-Founder and Creator of ELEMIS Therapies said, “ELEMIS has always educated on the benefit of oils whatever your skin type so when we created the Superfood Facial Oil we wanted to make a definitive facial oil packed with nutrition for the skin. With the pace of life today, we know we should be eating better to ensure the skin is functioning at an optimal level but this is not always possible. The Superfood Facial Oil delivers an easily-absorbed booster of vitamins, omegas and anti-oxidants directly to the skin for natural radiance and luminosity.”

The facial is suitable for everyone, even those who don’t like eating their greens!
