Spa treats for springtime in Manchester

Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:26 AM

Forget the Desperate Scousewives of Liverpool, it’s Manchester that has the real beauty buzz. Mancunian spa fans rave about the town’s Radisson Edwardian Manchester, where the Sienna Spa is an exquisite haven of tranquillity and calm.

Their new spring spa menu features indulgent treats for fabulous face and body pampering. Try the Absolute Pearl Facial (£65, 60 minutes to treat hyper-pigmented areas and improve skin luminosity. The anti-oxidant effect creates an immediate brightness to get your complexion glowing.

To prep skin for summer, try the Aromasoul Ritual Scrub (£55, 45 minutes). There are four Aromasoul scrubs to choose from, each representing a different corner of the world; Oriental, Mediterranean, Indian, and Arabian. The treatment uses blends of essential oils that reflect the energies of the world that they are based on.

If you are not based in Manchester, treat yourself to a Replenish Day Escape package (3 hours 30 minutes £160) as part of an away day stay. Treatments include hydramemory facial, d-age body treatment, comfort touch back massage and a lushly foot ritual.
