Many spas offer a head-to-toe treatment which usually includes a hair do, make-up and manicure and pedicure - perfect preparation for a special occasion.

Dr Hauschka's Daily Revitalising Eye Cream: You know that squinting, aching feeling in the eyes that usually comes on around mid-afternoon...? This product works on the skin around the eyes to reduce lines, wrinkles and bags, and it also soothes them as the day goes on. It's made of natural products, is light and easily absorbed into the skin around your eyes, and seems to keep working throughout the day. It helps to keep your eyes looking and feeling brighter.
Guinot do a good similar product, for women and men: Anti-Fatigue Eye Gel and Express Eye Gel for Men.
Aromatherapy Associates Renew Rose Intensive Skin Serum and Renew Rose and Sandalwood Facial Oil smell beautifully floral, and are easily absorbed. Massage into tired, dry skin for a beauty boost.
