BEST NEW FACIAL:
Mandarin Oriental ‘The Elegance Of Mayfair’, £440
The Mandarin Oriental is one of the world’s most luxurious hotel brands and its second London outpost only opened just last week. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair joins its sister property in Hyde Park, and, excitingly, comes with a state-of-the-art spa where you can enjoy bespoke treatments. One of them is the ‘Elegance of Mayfair’ facial. Designed to offer a whole new level of skin revitalisation, the Iris flower is a key ingredient. In addition, skin is also infused with Cellular Active IRISA® technology to target the signs of ageing, while a high-frequency device rejuvenates damaged skin or compromised barriers. Either pre- or post-facial, make sure you indulge in some of the spa’s other facilities, such as the new 25m indoor pool, vitality pools or its ‘experience shower’.

BEST FOR A DETOX:
Surrenne Detox: Green Tea Facial, from £150
Surrenne is the latest, luxe destination to hit London for all things relaxation. Its facials stand out for the bespoke methods on offer. We rate this Detox Green Tea Facial for its ability to overhaul skin and give it a gentle, but rejuvenating polish. Using antioxidant-based products, the treatment works hard to brighten, refine and tighten skin. You'll also benefit from the firm massage which helps boost lymphatic drainage and rid toxins, helping to tighten your complexion and encourage glow. Should you fancy something more in-depth, look to the Oxygeneo treatment which uses an ultrasound device to boost cell turnover and encourage better collagen production.
