A Spa Therapist’s Guide to ESPA
The skin as the largest organ in the body is exposed to numerous damaging environmental elements on a daily basis. Despite this, a good skincare routine is still over-looked and underappreciated by many. Coggles sat down with ESPA Senior Spa Therapist Sammy from The Park Royal Spa in Cheshire to discover the perfect 'at home' ESPA skincare routine, which she also recommends supplementing with regular treatments from an ESPA spa professional.

Tips to Find your Inner Calm

- Inhaling aromas helps you to naturally take a deep breath in, which helps to calm and relax your body and mind
- Watch a sunrise or sunset. Light is energy, and a great way to lift ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally
- Focus on gratitude and the things you are thankful for to balance the mind
- Smile! It triggers the brain to release mood elevating neurotransmitters such as dopamine, endorphins and serotonin

The ESPA Spa Therapist’s Guide to Oily/Combination Skin
For oily or combination skin, I highly recommend the ESPA Balancing Face Treatment Oil. This purifying face treatment helps to prevent the build-up of excess oils by balancing the skin’s pH and boosting hydration. The oil will leave the skin feeling soft, soothed and clarified.
After cleansing your skin with ESPA’s BBalancing Foam Cleanser simply apply 2 to 3 drops of the facial oil to the skin and massage into the face and décolleté. This treatment oil can be used twice daily morning and evening.
- Lemon – balances and clarifies
- Rose Geranium – purifies, calms and hydrates
- Rose Damascena – soothes
- Jojoba and Avocado oils – nourishes
Complete your perfect ESPA skincare regime for oily/ combination skin with the Balancing Foam Cleanser, 24 Hour Balancing Moisturiser and Essential Cleansing Mask.
The ESPA Spa Therapist’s Guide to Normal/Dry Skin
My top recommendation for people with normal or dry skin is the ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy. This intensely hydrating mask will soak down through the skin’s layers to leave the complexion replenished and radiant.
After cleansing your skin with ESPA’s Hydrating Cleansing Milk, take a small amount of the Overnight Hydration Therapy Mask and apply over the face and décolleté using sweeping circular motions. Leave the mask to sink into the skin for 10-15 minutes, or overnight for a really intense hydration treatment.
- Chicory Root – simulates vitamin D
- Cedarwood and Ylang Ylang – calms a busy mind
- Encapsulated Lavender – soothing and restful properties to enhance skin replenishment and regeneration
- Hyaluronic Acid and Konjac Root – hydrates and smooths
Pair the ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy with the Replenishing Face Treatment Oil and 24 Hour Replenishing Moisturiser to complete the perfect ESPA skincare routine for normal to dry skin.
The ESPA Spa Therapist’s Guide to Anti-Ageing
For ageing skin the ESPA Advanced Age-Defying Lifestage Stage Release Moisturiser is my most highly recommended product. The moisturiser is a potent cream that continually works over an eight-hour period to smooth and brighten the skin and delicate eye area whilst simultaneously reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
After cleansing your skin with ESPA’s Nourishing Cleansing Balm, apply a pea sized amount of the Lifestage Stage Release Moisturiseron to your ring finger, then gently apply to the skin using gentle circulation boosting tapping motions. This advanced Age-Defying product can be used both morning and evening for maximum benefit.
- Natural Encapsulation Technology (NET) – powerful natural ingredients released over a period of up to eight hours
- Himalayan Fleece Vine – smooths the appearance of fine lines
- Carnosine – Helps protect the skin’s firmness and elasticity
