Treat your skin
Germaine de Capuccini City Proof Facial
If you’re looking for a facial that will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and relaxed after walking out of that spa – then this is the one for you. Germaine de Capuccini City Proof Facial, which is available at the Heavenly Spa by Westin, is the latest addition to the treatment menu. Expect to receive 60 minutes of pure relaxation.
This award-winning facial protects and repairs the skin from pollution damage and external stress. Your therapist will place a unique bubble mask which releases pure oxygen into the dermal layers to detoxify the cells whilst a second mask activates the skin’s immune system increasing its defence capability.
Your therapist then goes through products that work for your skin to maintain the glow.
Be prepared to leave the spa with healthy and radiant skin.
