This spa treatment draws on an Indian tradition of pampering brides with a magnificent beauty spa. A series of aromatic face and body masks, paired with massages, is carried out over several days, up to the celebration of the wedding ceremony. This exotic, home-made treatment is built from powdered herbs and flowers. And since we are not in India, nothing obliges us to save it for wedding preparations: it can be practised whenever you like. Cultural blending is one of our greatest contemporary riches.
A luxury bath scented with rose petals, lime and coconut
Traditionally, the Indian-style bridal spa opens with this luxury bath, made from coconut milk, slices of lemon (preferably lime) and fresh rose petals. Soothing and relaxing, it is also said to be anti-inflammatory, and to encourage blood circulation, detoxification and skin hydration — a blend particularly beneficial for dry or atopic skin, appreciated in particular by those prone to psoriasis or eczema.
The traditional bridal treatment
Next comes the traditional bridal treatment, one of the beauty rituals no one skips: it nourishes the skin, gives it a burst of radiance and leaves it soft and pleasant to the touch — a sensual treatment, barely veiling its invitation.
Whipped shea butter
To moisturise, next comes a whipped shea butter, light and fluffy, usable from head to toe: it preserves the skin's hydration while letting it breathe, and can be personalised with the scented plant oil of your choice.
Jasmine-scented oil
To finish, a hair oil sensuously scented with jasmine closes the ritual. Our Eastern forebears knew it before we did: a woman's beauty is not confined to her appearance, it also takes in sensuality. All of these treatments draw on the purest ancestral traditions of the East — to be enjoyed in full voluptuousness, ladies, without waiting for a wedding.
A luxury bath, a traditional treatment, whipped shea butter, jasmine oil: a complete Indian ritual to give yourself at home, wedding or no wedding.
