My spa experience at The Dior institut

At the Plaza Athénée at the heart of Avenue Montaigne lies the Dior Institut Spa, tucked underground of the prestigious carpeted 4 star hotel. I was welcomed from the cold into the warm hands of my designated beautician, Noella. There is all the Dior elements and luxury the brand has to offer. Marbled flooring (heated), Dior’s signature geometric patterns which decorated the walls, elegant lighting etc. Guided into the changing rooms where there is a sauna and steam room I change into their thick toweling bathrobes of the hotel (the type you vow to buy when you get back home but never find). Taken into the relaxation area where a well equipped seating area I am offered tea, fresh juices and some appetising nibbles. Later the beauty room surprises me with their elevating bed which later I discover heats up (From snow to this I couldn’t of wished for anything more). Booked for an anti ageing facial I am first given a back rub which transcends me from Paris fashion rush to total relaxation as Noella’s hands and oil work the tension out of my body. Now a woman with a busy hectic lifestyle never switches off, so my mind drifts to the lists of things I need to do but with all the therapeutic sounds and smells I surrender to the rare moment and start to enjoy my facial and my time off from running around in the snow from show to show. Cleansed skin and a delicate lifting scrub is applied all professional purpose products dedicated to getting the best results. Now here is the luxury Dior’s ‘Capture Totale one essential serum’ is applied to boost my skin while a mask is applied. During that a neck and shoulder massage is given which fills up the waiting time for the mask to penetrate and later peeled off with all the anxiety. After this experience an appropriate moisturiser and eye cream is selected for my needs, I discover Dior’s Hydralife Sorbet Creme which is a 2 in 1 includes serum within the cream. Also Hydralife Sorbet Eye Cream is applied. Just as I thought the experience was coming to an end Noella asks me to relax and exposes my arms applying Diorsvette Body Desire and continues to relieve me from the tension with a well needed massage. I am given time to pull myself together and wake up from my ‘me time moment’. I look in the mirror and discover a better version of me, I have been upgraded! It was hard not to notice a difference. Welcomed to the relaxation room and offered a refreshing drink together again with some healthy nuts and dried fruits. “MY DREAM, WAS TO MAKE WOMEN NOT ONLY MORE BEAUTIFUL, BUT ALSO HAPPIER.” Christian Dior There is a vast choice of treatments to delve in.
