You wait months and months for a decent facial and then, whaddya know, three arrive all at once. Just the thing for any gals or guys who are feeling like the back end of a bus...

Bliss: The Youth As We Know It Facial - £150, 60 minutes
Hardcore chicks who favour cracking extractions (and hate soporific scents & sounds) should head to Bliss. The newbie involves an enzyme peel to balance your skin's pH, an anti-ageing serum and a purified collagen-charged mask. The final flourish is a generous basting with the mega-moisturizer of the same name. And to help save your face this summer, the girls send you off with a DIY dose of the salon-exclusive serum. It just better not show up on eBay...

Elemis: Skin IQ+ Facial - £65, 75 minutes
The marketing machine might be spewing up men's grooming statistics at a frightening (and exaggerated) rate, but the fact is, at the Elemis Day Spa, a hefty 47% of clients possess a Y chromosome. Why? Men are faithful to a good result. This fine-tuned facial incorporates the two new skincare launches - Elemis Time Defense Wrinkle Delay and Eye Reviver - and aims to overhaul sensitized and prematurely ageing skin.

Kiehl's: Facial @ KX Spa - £90 for members; £100 for non-members, 75 minutes
Tailor-made, customised, personalised... yeah yeah yeah. What's new? Well, this is the first time that Kiehl's have offered a treatment in the UK, so, well, everything. On top of the product pick'n'mix - where your therapist can select any number of skin, body or hair goodies from the extensive range - you're also guaranteed a thorough steam, cleanse and some hot mitt action. Oh and a deep tissue massage - to hit the spot of members who have been over-pumping the iron.
