Red Carpet Sparkle, The Spa at Beverly Wilshire
Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills (A Four Seasons Hotel) sits in the middle of the most exclusive red carpet events. What better way to experience the excitement than with the Four-Star spa’s Red Carpet Sparkle treatments? Choosing among them can be difficult, so you may want to opt for the Deluxe Sparkle Package and receive them all.
Whether you book each treatment separately or enjoy the combination of all three, your experience begins with a glass of champagne and a visit to the spa’s eucalyptus steam room. You will then indulge in the Sparkle and Shine treatment, which includes the Diamond White Facial and Diamond Manicure (though if you book the package, the manicure will be part of the Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend treatment). The facial utilizes diamond-cut quartz and incorporates specialized ingredients to instantly re-energize, strengthen and tighten the skin; it even continues to lift and plump your skin after the facial is complete. The manicure uses a diamond-dust mud polish that purifies and illuminates the skin as your hands are exfoliated and massaged.
Then, with Diamonds are Forever, you’ll receive the Diamond Magnetic body ritual, which eliminates dry skin and rebalances and energizes the mind removing any electromagnetic pollution. You’ll be polished with a luminous diamond-dust mud — made from crushed diamonds — that will be removed with magnets to rebalance your body’s internal energy; a full body massage follows. You’ll also be treated to a Knesko Diamond Face Mask, which is made of diamond powder and is infused into marine collagen to hydrate, brighten and rejuvenate your skin.
Finally, with Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend, you’ll receive a diamond manicure and pedicure, and also take home a complimentary Butter nail polish of your choice, as well as Knesko eye pads that brighten and freshen your under eye area. The complete deluxe package also includes a Natura Bissé Diamond Collection gift set so you can continue to sparkle days after leaving the spa.
