Gold Rush

Umo 24-Carat Gold Facial

You bathe in goat’s milk, import your cleanser from Sri Lanka and never let an untrained hand near your face.

Precious about your skin?

Then you’ll need to try the Umo 24-carat gold facial. Using the latest in Japanese technology, a therapist will first slather you with Gamma PGA (a potent hydrating compound) followed by an ultrasonic nano mist spray that releases negative ions to prepare your skin for the good stuff. After manual lymphatic drainage, pure 24-carat sheets are placed over your face, followed by more nano mist and a gentle massage until your skin absorbs all the gold.

At £350, we know it’s not exactly a recession-friendly treatment.

Not that we’re giving anyone a gilt trip.

Available at 122, 122 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7RJ (020 7584 6777 or 122knightsbridge.co.uk).
