Last month, I had the opportunity to try the very booked up fresh Crème Ancienne Nourishing Facial. Yes, this facial is indeed booked up for weeks and I almost couldn’t get an appointment in November. However, by chance I was at The Exchange TRX one weekday evening and after receiving their message that there were no more appointments available in November, I walked over to fresh to enquire. As it happened, someone who’d booked a facial at that time had cancelled so they offered me the Crème Ancienne Nourishing Facial there and then. Of course I accepted!

The Crème Ancienne Nourishing Facial takes 75 minutes and it’s truly one of the most luxurious facials I have ever had. This facial is described as a “deeply nourishing and anti-aging ritual.” It’s inspired by the world’s first cream and the treatment includes intense nourishment that fades away lines and wrinkles, while improving elasticity to reveal a smooth, supple and ultra-nourished skin.

A heart-shaped Agate gemstone is used during the facial massage to stimulate facial muscles, promote wellbeing and a deep relaxation. The facial massage with this gemstone is so relaxing and deeply pampering.

The best part of the facial is naturally the massage. The ultra-luxurious Crème Ancienne is a restorative face cream handmade in a monastery that smoothes the look of lines, improves skin’s stability, and intensely nourishes delicate skin. Every product that was used during the facial felt and smelled so indescribably good. I can’t remember exactly what products were used but suffice to say, they were the best which would justify the price of this facial.
