Glass experiences the Diamond Energy Facial by Natura Bissé at the Baglioni Hotel, London

I’VE arrived at the uber smart Baglion Spa, located within the equally stylish Baglioni Hotel in London’s Hyde Park Gate, where Caroline, my warm and friendly Brazilian therapist, greets me.

After I change and relax into a soft robe, Caroline introduces me to the range of Natura Bissé products that she will be using for my 60-minute Diamond Energy Facial. She explains that this is an intense treatment to reboot dull skin from environmental stress and to resolve not only the skin’s elasticity, but also its tone and texture. And I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want that – including me!

Caroline explains that Natura Bissé is an exclusive Spanish cosmetic treatment company, which was founded by Ricardo Fisas Mulleras, in 1979. The product range’s success is due to the highest concentration of effective ingredients and its deep penetrating and long lasting properties.

I follow Caroline into a darkened, warm and inviting treatment room and lay on the bed in anticipation, taking in the distinct fragrance of fresh roses and the soft hue from the array of candles. Caroline explains that the Diamond Energy facial is a complex hour-long seven-stage procedure, involving the skin firstly being cleansed, then toned, and finally detoxed.

A deep facial massage then follows using the rich Diamond Nectar, which has properties of actual diamonds, and is lathered on to improve my skin’s vitality and elasticity. Caroline claims this is the product that will produce an anti-aging effect, working from the inside of my cells outwards, with the final results not being visible for a few days.

Then a rich silky distinct sweet smelling serum containing Danish rose extract is swathed into my face, together with décolletage, to give my skin the ultimate hydration in preparation for the signature mask which follows.

After covering me with additional blankets to ensure my body temperature does not drop, the cooling algae powder mask is then slowly built up onto my face, covering my eyes and lips, ensuring totally relaxation. Enjoying this indulgent experience under the veil of the lightweight mask, I sink into a relaxing state for what seems like a lifetime, but in fact is only 20 minutes.

When Caroline returns, she proceeds very gently to peel away the hardened mask, which she removes in one whole – reminiscent of a paper Maché facemask – to expose my re-defined, re-energised skin, which I can’t wait to admire. Finally, eye cream is gently massaged around the eye area and an SPF face cream is applied over my face and neck.

When the lights are turned on, I eventually get to look into hand-held mirror. The results are liberating: I notice my skin has a sheen, with almost a renewed dewy freshness, and my complexion looks as if have had a good night’s sleep. As I prepare to depart, I don’t bother applying any makeup, as I feel that I don’t want to spoil the amazing results of the facial, – my skin doesn’t need it. Caroline assures me that over the course of a week my skin will continue to improve as the treatment begins to reach its full potential.

My only dilemma now is whether or not to share my new-found secret. Maybe it’s true that diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.
