Luminous Lift
Those in the know are harnessing the power of cryotherapy and regenerative natural formulas for a glow-up that delivers powerful results. Sarah Walker, Spa Supervisor at Rookery Hall Hotel and Spa, explains the science and techniques behind Comfort Zone’s Hydra Glow Facial.
Excessive sun exposure, long-haul flights and prolonged exposure to air conditioning and central heating can all wreak havoc on our skin, leading to chronic dehydration that can exacerbate early signs of ageing. If, like many of the guests who visit the spa, you struggle with dull, thirsty skin, then Comfort Zone’s Hydra Glow Facial may be the answer. This increasingly popular treatment combines Hydramemory’s cutting-edge skincare formulas with advanced techniques and tools to deliver deep, lasting hydration and glow. By restoring and maintaining optimal hydration levels, this facial strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, enhancing its ability to adapt to damaging environmental conditions. By boosting skin hydration and barrier function, our guests report reduced dryness, wrinkles and sensitivity, along with a radiant, healthy-looking complexion that keeps them coming back time after time.
A standout feature of the treatment is the use of ‘Ice Spoons’, two metal spoons chilled to a low temperature, which are used to deliver a cryotherapy-inspired Hydra Drain and Lift massage. This sub-zero technique helps to tone and firm the skin, stimulate microcirculation, reduce puffiness and boost the absorption of hydrating actives. The powerful cooling effect also soothes inflammation to refresh and revive tired, stressed skin.
The treatment also incorporates lactic acid, a gentle yet effective exfoliant that helps renew the skin’s surface, remove dull cells and enhance radiance. Its application provides immediate glow and improves the skin’s texture, allowing hydration to penetrate more deeply and evenly.
These techniques are complemented by intensive sorbet-textured formulas rich in macro-hyaluronic acid and prickly pear extract. Working in synergy with the treatment’s methods and tools, these organic, regenerative ingredients reinforce the skin’s barrier to optimise hydration and leave the skin smooth, plump and visibly revitalised. Hydra Glow’s adaptability to varying climates and indoor environmental stressors means we’re seeing guests reap its benefits on a year-round basis. However, its popularity booms in winter, when central heating and cold air increase dehydration and sensitivity, while in summer, sun exposure and humidity challenges intensify the need for intensive hydration and barrier support. And, of course, who doesn’t appreciate a cool, soothing fix in the summer as part of their seasonal glow-up?!
