The Adlon Spa by Resense at Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin

Feel like leaving the world behind for a few hours? Hop on a plane with destination Berlin, have a refreshing drink at the breath taking hotel bar and indulge yourself in the super deluxe Spa experience at the Adlon Kempinski Spa. From the private Spa suite, which I can personally recommend where you can enjoy a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a whirlpool and a sound system where by request a lunch or snacks are served. Relaxing with no interference what so ever in an ambiance that is out of this world.

After a tour of the premises which includes several treatment rooms, another private pool and sauna, a resting room with champagne that awaits upon your arrival we arrived at the walhalla for the facial experience featuring Hydra facial. I am not a big fan of chemical peeling, but after the explanation of the treatment I was excited to try it. The HydraFacial MD treatment, exclusive to the Adlon Spa (60 min | 180 E) is an advanced medical- grade treatment that targets fine lines and wrinkles; congested, oily and acne prone skin; rosacea and hyperpigmentation. Next to that it minimises large pores and improves skin texture and tone and last but not least it repairs existing skin damage.

The process contains four steps. Step 1: Exfoliation and Cleansing where dead skin cells are removed. Step 2: Acid Peel that helps to loosen dirt from pores without irritation. Step 3: Extractions, a painless yet mean machine to clean out pores. Step 4: Hydration to the max. Anti-oxidants and pure hyaluronic acid to nourish and protect the skin.

Would I recommend it? Even though it felt like my skin was vacuum cleaned, Yes, most definitely. It shows immediate results and has no downtime or discomfort. After my skin was wrapped in moisture that I had to leave on overnight, (yes, your epidermis a.k.a. upper layer of the skin is stripped) I could honestly say: “I woke up like this.” Fresh, light and ultra-soft looking skin.

Another experience I would love to share is the Green Tea Body Wrap firming and toning body treatment. It helps to mineralise and detoxify the body with a green tea and herbal body wrap. The treatment left my skin feeling smoother and softer. The fun part started when the green tea was applied from head to toe. It was cold, freezing cold. But then I was wrapped in foil where the Green Tea in combination with my body temperature started to warm up. A feeling of ultimate detoxed relaxation was what I was aiming for, and that’s exactly what I received.
