The various hotels around Los Angeles have some great spas, and each has its treatment affiliation. The Sofitel on Beverly Boulevard and LaCienega uses CARITA treatments (Le Spa Sofitel http://www.lespala.com/Menu/#LeSpa_face) Carita is one of the most decadent, highly advanced anti-aging skincare lines based on efficient formulas. It’s one of those things French women know about, that we don’t. (http://us.caritadirect.com) But we should.
At The Sofitel, you can investigate all their treatments, but we recommend the five week intensive Haute Beaute Cheveu Hair Loss Care treatment, that, while expensive ($300 per visit), but boosts cellular metabolism, adding glycogen to hair, plus favonoid and peptides, which limit atrophy of the hair follicles, and improve the scalp’s microcirculation. There are anti-aging and anti-hair loss products that the estheticians can teach you about, that are highly effective, and more concentrated than anything you’d find at a beauty supply store!
The “Ageless Beauty” treatment uses the company’s Le Renovateur anti-aging treatment and tightening treatments for ninety minutes. It was developed at the Carita Maison De Beaute in Paris, and uses a blend of sunflower, clove, thyme and lemon to exfoliate, polish, life and refine the skin.
The Progressive Beauty facial at Sofitel exfoliates, and deals with wrinkles and pigmentation, for $175. It also uses a high tech machine, the Ideal Pro-Lift, to infuse serum into the skin.
And the big product launch this summer (August) is a new Diamond Cream (yes, $600), and it’s Carita’s most decadent product ever formulated. This is obviously for those who want the best, best, best.
