Earlier this month, I was privileged to experience a Natura Bissé Diamond Rose Energy Facial at Neiman Marcus.  A marvelous hour of pampering for my face, décolletage, and upper arms happened in the Destino Barcelona Room with the help of Natalia, the brand trainer.  What a treat!  My skin felt refreshed and restored, and my face had a beautiful glow.  It was EXACTLY what I needed and would be a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day.  Hint hint!  

Today marks a SPECIAL DAY for the brand, BEAUTY LOVERS DAY!  Natura Bissé created Beauty Lovers Day to celebrate the brand’s consistent commitment to beauty and skincare.  April 23rd is a very significant date in the brand’s hometown, Barcelona; a day of heroes and legends, in which love, roses, books and culture are celebrated.

To celebrate this year, Natura Bissé will be introducing a the luxurious sensorial Diamond Rose Ritual, the facial that I experienced this month!!  The face and body treatment gently exfoliates, lifts, tightens, and sculpts the skin through indulgent massage techniques and ingredients that stimulate the skin’s cells from the inside out.  The treatment is 60 minutes long and is for the face & upper body.

Let me take you step by step…

1. CLEANSING and RESURFACING // The cleansing ritual utilized the Diamond White cleanser and toner, a mix of natural sugars and pomegranate, to prep the skin.  The 3-step GLYCO 3 PEEL, exclusive to the brand, is applied next.  The Glyco Extreme Peel is the home version.  {FYI, I did feel some tingling for 30-45 seconds when the first step was applied, and I did have some minor peeling after the facial for a day.}

2.  ACTIVATION // The Diamond Experience Nectar is massaged on the face to stimulate metabolism, oxygenation, and BONUS has an anti-wrinkle effect!

3. REGENERATION // The massage CONTINUES {I was really enjoying myself} with the Diamond Experience Essence and a massage technique that promotes lifting and a remodeling effect.  The Essence restores moistures and boosts firmness with a bio-regenerating action.

4.  SCULPTING MASK // This last step is spectacular!  Diamond Rose Mist is sprayed on and then the micronized algae mask is applied all over the face {including over your eyes}!!  It’s almost like a “plaster” that seals in all the beneficial effects of the previous steps.

5. ARMS // Diamond Rose Scrub enriched with diamond dust is massaged to gently polish the skin.  The massage is completed with the Diamond Rose Mist and Diamond Rose Oil to provide a veil of luminous touch.  {And it was beautiful… I noticed my arms were glowing “in a good way” after the experience.}

Natura Bissé is also launching a Limited Edition Diamond Absolute Damask Rose Body Oil available to customers ONLY today, April 23rd.  The ultra-nourishing damask rose oil is infused with grape seed and rosehip oils.  {Those are rich in omega 3 and 6 and are incredibly repairing for the skin with anti-aging, anti-stress and antioxidant properties.}  Up until now, the product has only been given to the brand’s VIP clients.
