WINNER! Sanctuary’s Spa Essentials Body Butter Wins Handbag Beauty Award!

We were pleased as punch when we found out that our Spa Essentials, that’s the orange top range to those of you in the know, had won such a fantastic award.

Our humble little Body Butter was voted ‘Best Body Moisturiser 2008’ by Handbag.com users which makes the award even more special and so much of an honour.

We never take winning awards for granted and after settling ourselves down after all the excitement we’d like to say a very big “THANK YOU!” to all of those who voted.

Look who’s in the papers…

It’s only our very own Senior Marketing Manager Emma Keyworth in the business section of the Sunday Telegraph!

Emma has worked at The Sanctuary for two and a half years and is doing a fantastic job (I have to say this as she’s my boss and she reads this – only kidding Emma!) Emma heads up the Marketing and Mail Order departments and has worked in health and beauty for 9 years.

Obviously the people at the Sunday Telegraph realised what an industry wiz she is and asked her to give her expert opinion on the pharmacy John Bell & Croyden introducing the L’Oreal Skin testing technology to their business. Skin analysing is a hot topic at the moment as it goes into fine detail on the condition of your skin.

Now you may think ‘well my skin looks ok to me’ but new camera technology records images under the surface of the skin where all the damage done is hiding which will show up in later years.

The article details about the benefits of skin analysing which at The Sanctuary we know all about.

Using the latest skin testing technology, The Sanctuary uses a machine called Beau Visage to provide detailed reports on the condition of your skin. It will state your average skin age, (I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours!), the amount of sun damage to your skin, shows your lines/wrinkles and your levels of collagen (the stuff that makes your skin plump and supple).

Now I won’t lie to you, some of the news might not be pretty, if you’ve not been too religious with the sunscreen or you’re a heavy smoker or drinker then you know you’ve not been kind to your skin.

We’re not here to judge, we are no angels either and everyone has to have their vices in life, the skin camera is just a way of helping you adapt your regime and care for your skin in a more proactive way.

If you’d like to have your skin analysed by expert therapists, visit The Sanctuary’s very own Skin Spa, located within The Sanctuary Spa.
For those familiar with our London spa you’ll know that there’s an admission fee applicable to use all the gloriously relaxing facilities… well this doesn’t apply to Skin Spa, hurrah! You can simply book an appointment and go through to Skin Spa.

So if you want to know how naughty or nice you’ve been to your skin visit our Skin Spa website for more details at Skin Spa.

Obviously you won’t all be able to get to our London spa but Beau Visage is available across the country so visit the Beau Visage website to find out more details.

Christmas will soon be upon us, so why not stock up early on gifts?

With everyone ready to grab a bargain this Christmas, we’ve arranged for our 3 for 2 offer to be available early so you can have maximum time to get stocked up on gifts for all the women in your life that deserve a little pampering.

Avoid the hassle of waiting in queues, carrying shed-loads of bags and going out in the cold with the kids in tow… shop online and have your gifts delivered straight to your door. Simple, fuss-free shopping…ahhhh bliss!

Not ones to boast (well just a little bit) our range of pampering treats include something for every taste and budget and offer a luxurious option for Christmas gifts.

Starting from as little as £8 (great for end of term Teachers gift, or Secret Santa for those struggling with the limiting £5 budget!), to the £12 (a great stocking filler) to the £35 Weekend Spa Retreat which includes everything for that special weekend away (hint hint) right up to our super indulgent, super wowing £50 spa bag which contains everything a girl could possibly need to stay looking groomed and glamorous.

Each gift has been designed to have either a re-usable box or bag and contains our best-selling bath and bodycare products, along with extra goodies such as votive candles and eye masks to ensure you give a gift that unlike that knitted reindeer jumper (thanks Nan!), doesn’t disappoint.

We often receive great feedback from customers who use our mail order service as our super efficient mail order team take great pride in assuring that your gift arrives to you beautifully presented and on time.

 “I think your service is fantastic! I placed an order with you yesterday lunch-time and have just had it delivered. Less than 20hrs later!  Brilliant service thank you”
