On 1 September 2011, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong launches a world exclusive new facial and skincare product line for dramatically younger looking skin by Australia’s premium skincare pioneer, Gaylia Kristensen at the award-winning Mandarin Spa. Until December, in-house guests who book the unique UTOPIA Advanced Anti-Ageing Facial will also receive a complimentary top-up session valued at HKD950*.
Kristensen’s cutting-edge, anti-ageing treatments and products provide a natural alternative to cosmetic injections and surgery – “Lifting like Botox, without the Botox”.  Her products are bio-engineered for maximum effect using state-of-the-art molecular polypeptide and protein technologies and do not contain petrochemicals, mineral oil, parabens, harsh detergents or toxic ingredients.
The Mandarin Spa and Kristensen have worked closely together to create the UTOPIA Advanced Anti-Ageing Facial that will focus on the rejuvenation of the face, eyes and neck area.  This luxurious 90-minute spa experience starts with a deep cleanse and exfoliation to renew and brighten the skin, before guests enjoy a unique lifting, toning massage that targets the stress and strain of over-used facial muscles using Kristensen’s precious Passion Oil. A pure plant collagen facial mask will then be applied to help stimulate collagen and elastin production, creating an instant lift, sweeping away lines and wrinkles and repairing the appearance of UV-damaged skin.
The Mandarin Salon will also offer a 45-minute top-up “Gaylia Kristensen advanced anti-ageing eye or neck treatment” that can be enjoyed between sessions to maintain long-lasting results.  Guests can also purchase a full range of Gaylia Kristensen products from The Mandarin Spa boutique, allowing them to continue the good work at home.  The range includes Kristensen’s must-have 6 Hero Products, which are sure to become must-have items in everyone’s beauty regime.
“We are delighted to introduce Gaylia Kristensen’s UTOPIA Advanced Anti-Ageing Facial and advanced anti-ageing products to Hong Kong.  This highly effective and non-invasive product and service is a great addition to our range of facials, and allows guests to see fantastic results and to look younger without using harsh chemicals or having to undergo injections or surgery,” says Spa Director Lynsey Hughes.  “ We are also very pleased to offer in-house hotel guests who book the UTOPIA Advanced Anti-Ageing Facial, a complimentary ‘top-up’ session, to ensure that they feel fully rejuvenated on departure.*”.

* The complimentary ‘top-up’ offer is available until 22 December 2011, and is valid for in-house hotel guests only. Some usage terms and conditions apply.
