1. ‘CHAMPAGNE & TRUFFLES’ FACIAL

60 MINS | 90 MINS

Experience the epitome of luxury with Temple Spa’s ‘Champagne & Truffles’ Facial. We love how this luxurious facial seamlessly combines the benefits of truffle skincare with specialised lifting massage techniques. Not only does it effectively target deep lines and wrinkles, but it also works wonders in strengthening muscle tone and reducing puffiness, leaving your skin visibly revitalised and letting your natural beauty shine.

Available as a 60 or 90-minute spa treatment, we recommend the full 90! This longer treatment includes the application of a cooling alginate mask, providing a refreshing and soothing sensation, and the addition of rose quartz massage therapy. This enhances the overall rejuvenation process, promoting circulation and radiance.
