Featured in Tatler’s ‘Time To Get A Beach Body’ in July 2011 Ushvani’s ridiculously smart little spa just off Sloane Street offers an instant pre-beach perk-me-up. The Summer Body Experience is a toning, tightening ritual that will kick start digestion and circulation and leave you feeling as bikini-ready as you’ll ever be.
For a true holistic experience, prepare your mind, body and soul within Ushvani’s sumptuous ladies-only facilities before succumbing to the hands of your expert therapist…
Your Ushvani treatment begins with an invigorating full body Papaya Scrub that thoroughly exfoliates hydrates and brightens the skin. Papaya fruits are full of natural AHA’S (alpha hydroxy acids) that dissolve dead skin cells which is combined with organic cane sugar that sloughs away dry flaky skin and three rich oils of coconut, sunflower and papaya, which leaves the skin smooth and glowing.
Using the Ushvani Green Coffee Oil renowned for its detoxifying qualities and its ability to break down fatty deposits, your therapist will then carry out our signature stomach massage to aid digestion and stimulate the metabolic rate, thereby reducing the appearance of bloating. The back of your legs will then be massaged to boost lymph drainage and to help speed up sluggish circulation. The treatment concludes with a nourishing Coconut Milk Wrap to hydrate the deepest layer of skin, eradicating any dryness, leaving your skin silky smooth and your body summer-ready.
