Why should I choose a Germaine de Capuccini signature body treatments?
"The main aim of our signature body treatments is to provide a haven where the mind, body and soul are nurtured. Our therapies combine stunning massage rituals with evocative aromas and products with exquisite textures.
Germaine de Capuccini also provide what we term as "working" treatments: personalised, planned programmes of treatments to effectively deal with issues such as cellulite, stretch marks, flaccidity etc."
What to expect during the treatment
"Spices have been used for their medicinal and therapeutic properties since ancient times. Spices fascinated Europeans when they first arrived in their continent from the Far East via the commercial "Silk Route". Spices with exquisite fragrances such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, vanilla and nutmeg are used in our products and are combined with massage rituals from the Far East to create Germaine de Capuccini's "Spa Spice", and the Signature Treatment "The Magic of the Silk Route".
This body ritual takes two hours and consists of an exfoliation, massage and wrap.
For your full-body exfoliation, your therapist will use an incredible blend of the finest and most expensive spices in the world, together with oriental resins and woods, bamboo particles, poppy seeds and nutmeg. These ingredients provide hydration and nourish the skin.
Your therapist will follow this with an exquisite massage using our Oriental Oil (a combination of rice oil, almond oil, sesame oil and cardamom oil with an exotic oriental fragrance). During this massage your therapist will use specialised relaxing movements, often combined with the use of spiced pinda bags dipped in the warm oil.
The ritual continues with the Sybarite Silk Body Wrap. Silk extract forms the base of this wrap, which has an extremely smooth texture. Your therapist will apply the wrap by massaging the product onto the skin with slow, relaxing movements. Your skin will beleft hydrated, extremely smooth and nourished.
In some spas, it is possible to combine a Vanilla Bath treatment with this ritual."
What to expect after the treatment
"Total relaxation, a sense of inner peace and tranquillity, and a good night's sleep!"
