Venue: Just Pure Day Spa    When: Daily; not Sun

Did you know that your skin absorbs more creams during the run up to the full moon? Sounds unlikely, we know, but the thinking from the Just Pure Day Spa is proving otherwise. Take an hour, or a day, to pamper yourself here, and you could discover the truth.

Did you know that the waxing moon is the time of regenerating, collecting and absorbing, when the body best stores, uses and retains what it gets? Apparently everything applied to the skin in the 12 days of the waxing moon is thought to have a much greater effect. Each new moon stands for the "zenith" when detoxification and purification merge. Or so the thinking of one clever (and beautiful) beauty expert goes.

Gabriela Just is kicking up an international storm for her innovative and holistic beauty products. As a result, she has branched out from retail, offering the pallid, poor-skinned public a Day Spa to indulge in all her moon-happy products (which, incidentally are created from ingredients that can be eaten...). Head here for some serious pampering with a difference.

The idea is for everyone to have a tailor-made experience, so a trained person will study your skin, then the moon calendar and then pamper you rotten. You can go for one of many treatments or indulge in a package for an entire day. The Just Pure website provides the nitty gritty on the lengthy menu and prices. It's advisable to book in advance for an appointment.
