Pamper Me.

Treat yourself with a bit of quiet me-time

GO FOR GLOW
We’re loving the moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner from the new Natural Instinct range, which uses totally natural ingredients. With a bouquet of organic herbs like rosehip, lavender and chamomile, plus goodies like Vitamin E and grapeseed extract, no wonder our hair glows and skin gleams – not to mention smells absolutely divine! RRP from AU$7.95 from pharmacies, health food stores and health clinics; www.naturalinstinct.com.au

FROM HAWAII WITH LOVE
Lomi Lomi massage is a Hawaiian massage therapy that has to be experienced to be believed – it’s so effective that practitioners kept it secret within their families for hundreds of years. But now the secret of “the loving touch” is out and anyone can soak up the good vibes from a Lomi Lomi massage, which uses hands, elbows, hot rocks, and even occasional mild hypnosis to get you totally relaxed. It’s available at many good hotels; find out more on www.hawaiiantherapies.com

CITY SANCTUARY
Stressed out Melburnians and visitors alike can now indulge in a new, Japanese-inspired, five-star, day spa in the CBD. Kocho Spa (kocho means “crimson butterfly”) offers a range of luxurious treatments, including kasai mayako (bath) rituals, facials, massages (shiatsu, reiki and hot stone), hydrotherapy and colour therapy. Our favourites, though, are the express lunch treatments – a facial, a back massage or hydrotherapy massage in just 30 minutes. Lunch anyone? Level 5, Centre Way, 259–263 Collins St., Melbourne, tel: +61 (3) 9664 9764, www.kocho.com.au

WRAP ME IN CHOCOLATE
If you fantasise about being lathered with chocolate, dream no more. Zest Urban Spa and Hair in Sydney has not one, not two but four unbelievably decadent and luxurious Choco-licious Easter treatments: Foot Facial; cocoa, ginger and cinnamon Body Scrub; Chocolate Scalp Massage; and Facial with Chocolate Hand and Foot Massage. A package of all four costs AU$199 (usually AU$415). There are celebs aplenty here, including actress Rose Byrne. 3/5-11 Boundary Street, Paddington, tel: +61 (2) 9331 7166, www.zestspa.com

ORDER AN OASIS
Escape Bangkok’s bustle at the new Oasis Spa. Go the whole hog and book the four-hour Lanna Explorer package. Esconced in a private villa with an outdoor glass steam room, you’ll be treated to a Thai herbal steam, herbal body scrub, King of Oasis massage and a herbal facial. It’s well worth the 6,500 baht (AU$232). 64 Soi Swaddee Sukhumvit 31 Road, Phrakanong, tel: +66 (2) 262 2122, www.bangkokoasis.com
