Any of you that are familiar with Lush will know that they recently released a new treatment at their spas called the Sound Bath.

This would be my second time having a facial (not a Lush one), even thought the Sound Bath isn’t technically a facial so I should really say a spa treatment. The first facial/spa treatment I had was a bit traumatic, as at the time I had severe acne and all the therapist kept taking about was how she couldn’t believe how many spots I had.

Needless to say that didn’t leave me with a very good impression and I left feeling even move stressed out and insecure than when I had entered.

Anyway back on track, I’ve arrived about an hour early at the Lush spa in Kingston so I’m going to tell you a little bit more about the treatment while I wait.

Basics:

• 1 hour treatment

• £65

The best way I can describe it is almost a bit of a spa therapy treatment designed to relax and re-energize you, I’ll be quite interested to see how this turns out as it’s not the cheapest of treatments and I’m stressed out of my mind right now.

So Lush…let’s see how this goes…impress me :)

I haven’t been this relaxed in ages! My skin feels amazing! The only negative thing I can really say is I wish it had been longer.

“Wow…that is all that was on my

mind really after that. Just wow!”

I’ve already linked the video above to let you more about the actual treatment, you don’t really need me blabbing on about it when you can just watch the video so I’m going to tell you a few thing about the treatment that the video doesn’t tell you.

Things I noticed in the treatment:

• The bed/treatment thing was heated. Ugh, I want that for my bed! Soooo nice!

• The smells were just sublime. I know a lot of people are scared of “that” lush smell but there was nothing overpowering about thing. Lovely natural subtle smell. During the treatment I felt like I was lying down on hot moss in the middle of a magical forest (as cliche and sappy as that sounds).

• There is no rush. I didn’t at any point during the treatment feel like I had to take what was given and then rush off. After the treatment they let you sit down with a nice cup of handmade herbal tea (and I’m not a fan of herbal tea but I liked this one) and relax a bit more till you’re ready to leave.

• After the treatment I couldn’t stop touching my face. It felt relaxed, firm and healthy.

• I almost expected to leave and then get stressed all over again after a few hours. So far, (and I’m writing this on the train back home) I don’t feel stressed at all.

Thing to note:

-As random as this sounds do try and go to the loo before you have this treatment, even if you feel like you don’t have to (they do have toilets there). Trust me, unless you haven’t drunk water all day, after an hour on a warm bed with the sound of water all around you WILL need the loo.

Pros:

• 7th heaven of relaxation…ok maybe that’s a bit over the top but really, super relaxing.

Cons:

• Not a cheap treatment but in that case I thinks it’s worth it (or at least as a one off treat).

• There are not many of them in the UK (and at the moment they are only in the UK). So far there are 4 of them (I went to the one in Kingston as I didn’t really want to travel to the one right in the middle of London. With all the dirt and pollution in the air and the stress of coming back I felt it would be a bit counter productive). Hopefully in the future they’ll be opening up more spas in England and in other stores around the world.

Conclusion

I don’t really have much else to say other than I love this treatment. I haven’t tried any of the others, but I will soon hopefully ;) Which one do you think I should try out next?
Love, love, love.
