Must-Try Spa Treatments in Dublin & Beyond

This year brings a plethora of exciting spa treatments that are perfect for rejuvenation. First, let’s explore two unique therapies I recently experienced, both delivering impressive results and innovative approaches.

Swiss Eye Specialist Treatment at The Shelbourne

Situated in the heart of Dublin, The Shelbourne hotel offers the Swiss Eye Specialist Treatment, created by Swissline. This targeted approach focuses on the delicate eye area, addressing common concerns such as puffiness, fatigue, and fine lines.

The treatment combines a gentle yet firm massage with intensive hydration and precise masking techniques. Utilizing two specialist eye masks, including a cooling cryo mask with precision rollers, this treatment works to reduce fluid retention and refresh tired eyes.

Available as a 30-minute standalone service or as an add-on to any Swissline facial, pricing starts at €80 for the primary session and €40 for the add-on, making it an accessible option for those seeking a revitalizing experience.

Codage Magistrale Treatment at Velvaere Spa

Another standout experience was the Codage Magistrale Treatment at Velvaere Spa, located in the Radisson Blu Royal. With over 400 facial massage movements, this treatment uniquely combines elements like pinching, rolling, and deep pressing, effectively lifting and sculpting the face.

This treatment pushes the boundaries of comfort while providing remarkable results. It concludes with an intense glycolic acid peel and a soothing neck-and-shoulder massage. Afterward, I noticed brighter, firmer skin and a lifted brow, all for a starting price of €195.

New Treatments to Look Forward To

Tóg Go Bog É at The G Hotel, Galway

On my must-try list this year is the Tóg Go Bog É treatment at The G Hotel in Galway. This innovative treatment, created by the Cork brand Ground Wellbeing, aims to promote deep relaxation and balance within the body.

With a focus on full-body wellness, this ritual includes guided breathwork, aromatherapy, facial gua sha, and a relaxing scalp massage. Available in 60- or 90-minute versions starting from €130, it’s an ideal choice for those looking to unwind and relieve tension.

Elemis Cryo Treatments at The Johnstown Estate Spa, Co Meath

The Johnstown Estate Spa has introduced the groundbreaking Elemis Expert Cryotighten and Firm treatments. These advanced therapies utilize a blend of heating and cooling technology, along with sculpting massage, which are clinically proven to firm and tone areas prone to cellulite.

The treatments target problem areas like thighs and abdomen, promising significant results after just one session. Each experience combines Elemis’s signature lifting massage with active ingredients to help define body contours and reduce bloating, starting at €175.

Fréamh Muscle Recovery Ritual at Faithlegg Hotel, Co Waterford

For those focusing on recovery, the Fréamh Muscle Recovery Ritual at Faithlegg Hotel offers a rejuvenating experience. Utilizing Irish-made products, this ritual is designed to alleviate muscle stiffness and promote circulation.

The treatment emphasizes tension release through a firm, flowing massage. Available as a 60-minute back-of-body massage or a 90-minute full-body treatment, prices start from €115, making it a restorative option after exercise or stress.

This Week’s Beauty Find: Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

On the beauty front, the newly reformulated Armani Luminous Silk Foundation has caught my eye. With a refreshed clear glass design and an expanded shade range, it now offers 44 shades that cater to various undertones, especially for olive and deeper skin tones.

Enhanced with skincare ingredients like glycerine and niacinamide, it still delivers the signature luminous finish Armani is known for. This foundation is available for €55, making it a worthwhile addition to your beauty routine.
