Spa Peachy: We Recommend The Ultimate Body Lift by Fatima at Clarins Spa on Madison


Why does Peachy feel like a million bucks?  Because she made time and was lucky enough to visit the Clarins Spa on Madison and 80th to experience The Ultimate Body Lift.  What is The Ultimate Body Lift?  It was our first, so we wanted to know.  And when we called and asked the manager, Deborah, she explained it perfectly.

It has been around since at least 2003 (that is when Fatima joined Clarins, though we suspect it was around pre-2003), and its goal is to promote circulation and reduce cellulite.  Walking around the city for See Manhattan on Your Feet apparently has paid off in a big way for Peachy as she has no cellulite according to Clarins.  (And if you do have it it will be minimized in a big way with this treatment.)

The key to success at Clarins is of course the touch of hands, which we must emphasize are firm but gentle.  They do the job they are meant to do in an extraordinary way.  Some other spas we have visited that have not been written up were too aggressive with Peachy, they did not pay attention to details, and one even took her late.  (! We only recommend places that are on time, on the ball.) We do not like these other spas where the masseuse gets his/her aggressions out on the patient, though some patients may like it, Peachy does not.  Clarins treats you like a person with feelings and they even play your cd if you bring one.  As you may guess Peachy is not in touch with her zen side so they listened to Harry Connick Jr.  Also of utmost importance to us is the fact that everyone at Clarins speaks perfect English.  You must speak perfect English to be written up on Whom You Know.  

The Clarins products that are key in this treatment are the Body Treatment Oil and the High Definition Body lift.  This has great therapeutic qualities as well if you are athletic the stress in your muscles will disappear by the end of this treatment.   We recommend it with Fatima!

The treatment was complete with a cup of tea that was just perfect.  When you walk in and out of Clarins on the red carpet, you know that is the treatment you're going to get even if you are not a red carpet regular.  And, you should know that if you are a red carpet regular this is the place to go.  Fatima was telling Peachy that one of her clients went to the Met ball last Monday night!  Our coverage of the soiree:
