Our friends at SLS invited us to experience a new facial and skin care line Eve Lom the spa recently partnered with.  I like the hotel, I like my friends, I like facials.  I'm in.

This being my first visit to Ciel, I was looking forward to it.  But a hotel spa? C'mon how glamorous can it really be?

I had no idea what I was in for.  I checked in for our treatment and shortly thereafter was led through the creamy, dreamy white hallways.  I was told famed french designer Phillipe Starck wanted to recreate heaven with his design. He did a mighty fine job. The bustle of La Cienega traffic and every day worries slipped away as I sunk into this newfound luxury.  Ahhh.  Deep breaths. 

I slipped into the women's dressing room …

My locker had a personalized name card 

piece of chocolate, plush robe and slippers.  Is this heaven?  I almost felt guilty I was spoiled so.

My aesthetician Sebastian greeted me in the waiting area and whisked me off to the treatment room. 

Sebastian is handsome, strong, sweet and looks the part (the dude doesn't have a wrinkle on his face).  He looked at my skin and we soon started the process. I learned Sebastian had trained at the prestigious Georgette Klinger salon and worked on everyone from President to starlets.  Impressive.

The treatment: Ciel is the only spa in North America to offer the Eve Lom Facial.  The Signature Facial began with an evaluation of my skins present condition and a proprietary 7-step massage application with an iconic Cleanser. This is followed by the layering of a warm paraffin wax (felt odd but in a good way) and an application of a decongesting Rescue Mask. Sebastian then carefully extracted any blackheads and applied light lymphatic acupressure massage to my neck, back and décolleté.

I have never left a facial without any redness.  Ever. After my treatment Sebastan handed me a mirror - not only was I not red, my skin had no blotchiness, irritation. Nothing. My skin looked better than it did coming in. 

A splurge at $225 for 90 minutes though well worth the investment for a real treat and to see noticeable, lasting results.
