Continuing her monthly reviews of PURE West Nile Street in the Glasgow city centre, our #YearofPURE competition winner recently visited us for our Valentine’s Day spa offer.

So, did Louise consider us her Valentine? Read on to find out!

It has been a long  dark winter and I have had trouble shaking off the January blues, so I jumped at the chance to try out not one but two luxurious treatments as part of the Valentine Escape package at PURE Spa & Beauty.

I arrived at the West Nile Street spa straight from work, still buzzing from a busy day and not 100% sure how I was going to wind down for the deep tissue massage and Elemis facial that I booked, but I needn’t have worried.

I changed into a fluffy robe, wandered through to the relaxation area of the spa and knew I was in for a treat. The space is an oasis of calm that you wouldn’t expect in the middle of a city centre spa. It has  soft, ambient lighting and relaxing music, plus comfortable loungers to recline on prior to your treatment.

In order to make the Elemis facial a little more prescriptive, the therapist who carried out my treatment asked about any skin concerns I had. During this, she started off by offering me a brief foot soak.

Afterwards, I received my treatments. The deep tissue focused on my back, neck and shoulders. It was bliss! This was followed by the Elemis facial, which left my skin feeling hydrated and supple afterwards.

The spa is very tranquil, with no noise and the ultimate comfort of a heated bed to help you make the most of your chill out time.  I did well not to fall asleep! The facial was all that was needed to revive my skin which frankly needed some TLC after the cold weather spell. I left feeling revived in what was a relatively short space of time, and in the city centre of all places.

Although I got the Valentine Escape package as a freebie, I would recommend booking in for two spa boosters to anyone. It is perfect for anyone who wants to spoil themselves or a loved one at any time of year!
