Nivea Haus day spa conveniently located in the UAE'S Dubai Mall, downtown Burj Dubai, is surprisingly elegant for what you'd expect from a brand synonymous with everyone's bathroom cabinet.
The age-old brand called Nivea usually brings to mind supermarket thoughts of reliable deodorant and good old tubs of moisturiser, not surprising when the trademark has been around since 1811 supplying just that. Now Nivea has opened three shiny new clinics, two in Germany, and one in Dubai - where I discovered what else they have to offer.
When Nivea products are all displayed together you realise it's actually quite a large range. The Haus combines a Hollywood style makeup counter, hair salon, relaxation centre and several analysis rooms. All these departments work exclusively with Nivea products - of course! To be honest, the Spa looks more like a modern glitzy space clinic than a supermarket aisle.
I visited to try the Nivea facial and makeover from resident experts, which ended a nice day of window-shopping in the surrounding mall. After a microscopic skin and hair analysis, products were recommended and chosen based on my individual skin type and I was treated to a facial which included everything a five star facial would; deep cleanse, exfoliation, extraction and then my favourite - the facial massage. Next was a makeover. A trained artist selected the best colours and powders for my face from a rainbow of colour options. Perhaps I wouldn't personally choose green eye shadow with my blue eyes, but it's nice to try another opinion every now and then.
In the Nivea Haus day spa it is too easy to forget you are being pampered with affordable products that are available down the road (anywhere.) Elegance all the way, I like it!
Soft Touch Spa at The Kempinski Hotel has the best location for convenience; it's connected to Dubai's enormous Mall of the Emirates. This means after a day of exhausting wanderings through the millions of retail stores at the Mall, or snow fun and skiing slopes at Ski Dubai, you can easily unwind and relax with a rejuvenating facial or massage before even leaving the venue.
Walking into the hotel foyer of Kempinski Hotel foyer, almost directly opposite Ski Dubai, sit Dubai's elite guests who are in transit. You will take the lift up to Soft Touch Spa's secluded oasis. There is nothing to do but simply sit down and begin the unwinding process in the ‘peace room,' a haven complete with cozy beds and soothing music. Then you are escorted into a treatment room where scented candles set a tranquil mood.
I tried the blissful Ligne St Bath's facial. After an intense yet blissful cleansing, toning and moisturizing ritual using products from the luxurious St Barth's rage (made in the Caribbean and using 100% natural ingredients) I lay back to enjoy a heavenly hand massage to complete. Totally tropical pampering at it's very best!
There was a skip in my step as I left this spa feeling fabulous, blemish free and with skin that really did glow with health all week!
