Some weeks in life really are a drag and when you’re feeling down in the dumps there’s only one remedy for it: a beautifying facial (or glass of Champagne) – last week I decided to both, the former being the healthier option.
I am extremely fussy when it comes to facials and beauty treatments (just like my Champagne), often stopping part way through if I’m not enjoying the experience. Fortunately, I have found one very talented lady who can take my week from painful to blissful in only 90 minutes. Dedicated Auckland based Guinot facialist, Rebecca Wilkinson will design a customized facial according to your skins needs and revive it back to life. Each facial is 90 minutes long (including eye-lash and brow tint) and is only $140. Rebecca’s business grew from her extensive background in beauty therapy and was inspired by her own frustration with not being able to find a good facial she was happy with.
By appointment only, her in-home boutique Guinot spa is a beautiful sanctuary that will take you far far away from life stresses. Rebecca’s philosophy around beauty therapy and treatments is that everyone needs a ‘touch of health’; that the simple act of touching is healing. She certainly proved that when she put me to sleep with a gentle hand massage whilst my Vitamin C mask was doing its work – I literally woke up 20 minutes later in a haze forgetting where I was – the only hint being the relaxing Balinese music humming in the background. After the Guinot mask she applied an amazing product called Bioeffect EGF Serum. I bought the serum immediately after the facial it was that good. The non-greasy serum soaked straight into my skin and left it feeling and looking better than it has in a very long time. I also picked up a few extra goodies from the extensive range of Guinot products she stocks along with her own personal beauty and health product picks.
A skilled facialist indeed, I guarantee it is worth a trip to see Rebecca. For all you local Aucklander’s she’s conveniently nestled in the suburb of Remuera and her spa is a real treat. To make an appointment you must book well in advance. Email reb.wilkinson@xtra.co.nz
