From pre-travel pampering to post-vacation recovery…

If you’re heading out of the city this summer, we’re here to ensure you’re looking and feeling your best. From getting you travel ready to ensuring that post-flight skin stays well taken care of, here are 6 spa treatments to book this summer.

Pre-travel treatments

Clear and Glow Facial, Frame by Sarah Battikha

The ethos at Frame by Sarah Battikha is simple: all skin types are different, and so they should all be treated differently. As such, with a clear and glow facial at this breezy Jumeirah salon, you’ll start with a consultation to understand any skin concerns, before a therapist recommends the best products and therapies to use. Regardless, you’ll begin with a deep cleanse, then move to the hydration part, which uses a high-pressure mediacl jet to ensure the active ingredients reach the deep layers of your skin. Then the Medical Rejulight uses monochromatic light rays to restore the skin, leaving you glowing ready for your getaway.

Price: Dhs1,020 for face, Dhs1150 for face and neck, Dhs1220 for face, neck and décolletage

Frame by Sarah Battikha, Villa G2, 349 Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah, daily 10am to 7pm, closed Sun. Tel: (0)4 355 8959, framedxb.com
