Introducing ‘the Ultimate Facial Boost Experience’ with Guinot at Parrot Cay

January 10, 2011. (Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos)-One of the world’s most innovative spas, COMO Shambhala Retreat at Parrot Cay, has teamed up with well-known spa brand Guinot to offer ‘The Ultimate Facial Boost Experience’ launching January 2011. The package offers a three-tiered approach to a youthful, glowing complexion whilst allowing guests to enjoy this unspoilt corner of the northern Caribbean with its award-winning holistic centre for self-renewal and revitalisation. Therapies are provided by some of the world’s finest specialists while guests enjoy expansive villas and 1,000 unspoilt acres of a private island with its white, mile-long beach.

The seven-day program includes three Guinot Hydradermie Lift Treatments—the latest in advanced anti-aging professional skincare treatments. The machine-based facial uses cutting-edge technology to treat both the skin and the facial muscles for an immediate ‘lifting’ effect. Designed for skin showing signs of loss of elasticity, it targets areas where fine lines are most evident—around the eyes, mouth and nose and across the forehead. The facial also lifts and firms the cheeks, jaw-line and neck.

Many believe stress and fatigue are linked to visible signs of aging. This new ‘Ultimate Facial Boost Experience’ therefore also includes a relaxing COMO Shambhala Signature Massage and a Daily Schedule of Yoga and Pilates to nurture the mind, body and spirit.

The third element of the anti-aging program focuses on diet. The resort’s COMO Shambhala Cuisine menus have been scientifically designed to maximize personal performance, addressing energy levels and blood-sugar imbalances. Cooking methods are minimized to maintain the nutritional integrity of the ingredients; this results in dishes rich in living enzymes, essential vitamins and minerals—all of which promote a healthier complexion. Detoxifying juices, broths, elixirs, vitamin boosts and organic teas are also available.

‘The Ultimate Facial Boost Experience’ includes:

• 3 Hydradermie Lift Treatments (note this is the maximum number that can be taken in one week)

• Daily COMO Shambhala Cuisine breakfast

• Daily Activities Schedule (including Yoga, Pilates and non-motorised watersports)

• COMO Shambhala Signature Massage (60 minutes)

• Seven nights in a Garden View Room, based on double occupancy

Price from: £3,320 per person inclusive of government tax, service charge and return airport transfers. Flights are not included.
