Recently I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of Deva Spa‘s 45 Minute Express Facial that they are currently offering as a special during Spa Week. The spa is located on 425 Broome Street, which is right in the heart of trendy Soho. After descending down the stairs you almost immediately forget that you left the hustle of the city just minutes before.
After check in, the expertly trained staff escort you into the women’s lounge prepped with everything
you would need to primp yourself for the day; showers, sauna, and a get-ready station equipped with hair dryer, hair styling products, mouthwash, etc.
Once you are donning your lush white robe and flip flops, you head into the waiting area. The space is a relaxation oasis in itself before you even get to your treatment. You can lounge next to the bamboo waterfall in the wicker chairs with your feet up on the the matching ottomans while noshing on healthy bites like crudite` and granola bars.
My esthetician for the day, Cleo, came to pick me up from my euphoria and brought me to an even more beautiful room where the bed
had a sheer canopy over it. Cleo dimmed the lights and made sure the calming instrumentals were playing in the background so any noise outside the door would be muted and not interfere with the ambiance of my experience. Cleo explained that with the express facial, her job is to do as much as she can to make you relax mentally and make your skin glow physically in that small window of time. She takes a few moments to assess your skin and then goes to work.
Cleo cleansed, toned, exfoliated, masked, and moisturized my skin with Phytomer, a marine cosmetics line that the spa uses. Cleo explained that since this was a moisturizing facial, it is fitting for all skin types. Because this is only a 45 minute facial, no extractions are done.
The reason I felt that this facial was so different from any other facial I’ve previously had is because Cleo also worked pressure points around my face and upper neck that put me into the utmost feeling of zen. I cannot remember the last time I was able to let all of the tension out of my body… this is Manhattan after all!
The treatment was over before I knew it, but I felt that I had absolutely gotten more than I had bargained for and cannot wait for the next time I treat myself there. This is definitely an experience I will be repeating in the near future!
Make sure you book your Spa Week appointment THIS week before they’re completely booked!
