Mummy's best-kept beauty secret

Ask any chic Parisian mother about her favourite beauty fix and the same name crops up again and again: Anne Semonin. And now the purveyor of fine beauty products and luxurious beauty treatments for body and soul is coming to these shores. You can experience one of Anne Semonin's amazing signature facials as part of Beauty Week which runs from September 5–11 at top London store, Liberty, where you can languish in the luxury boutique spa for a bespoke facial at the amazing price of £25 for one hour (normally £120 for 80 minutes). What's more, if you buy two or more Anne Semonin products, you will also receive £25 discount off the price of the products. To book, tel: 020 7573 9844.
Don't worry if you can't make it to Liberty. You can also enjoy Anne Semonin treatments at several UK spas, including Lucknam Park, in Bath; Hoole Hall Spa, in Chester; 51 Buckingham Gate, London and Feversham Arms, York. And for the ultimate in stress relief and relaxation, we can thoroughly recommend the Anti-Stress Back Therapy, which is like having a gently bubbling volcano on your back. Sheer heaven!
