Angelina Jolie’s favourite caviar spa treatment offered at La Prairie Spa

A few months ago, I had revealed that Angelina Jolie, aka mommy-to-be-for-the-sixth-time, is a huge fan of La Prairie caviar treatments.

Just in case you missed it, you can still read it here: Don’t be fooled by expensive caviar extract products

In that post, I had highlighted the controversy over the effectiveness of the extract of fish eggs in beauty products and I had even highlighted what an expert had to say on the subject:

Jenny Harding, a skincare specialist from the Dynasty Clinic in London, shares my views on caviar: “It is true there are omega 3 fatty acids in caviar, but you might as well put cod liver oil on your face. The best thing you can do with caviar is put it on a plate and eat it. By the time it reaches a cream, it has been doctored so much you are getting little benefit.”

If you are still a fan of the luxurious Swiss skincare line and if you are heading to New York City in the next few months, you might want to book an after-shopping treatment at La Prairie Spa at the Ritz Carlton (the first La Prairie spa in North America).

Ladies, this is no doubt an extravagance, but hey, if you have the budget and the time, why not?

You can choose a facial, an exfoliating treatment, a relaxing massage, a moisturizing body treatment or simply a manicure/pedicure… which all use La Prairie skincare products.

Personally, I think that any of the following treatments would be dreamy:

Manhattan Minutes: Instant gratification for tired travellers, the über-busy business person, the shop-till-you-drop gal or the overnight guest with a million sights to see before sunset. This package is designed to maximize your time and minimize your fatigue level.

Jet Lag Therapy: Banish the effects of time differences, bad airplane air, and bad seating. La Prairie Spa offers oxygenated skin treatment, aromatherapy massage, and foot/hand/head reflexology that feels so good you’ll barely remember the plane trip.

Executive Stress Break: Are you in NYC for a conference or a business meeting? Take an hour break to unwind with a massage that will take the world off of your shoulders, while removing the painful knots that executive life ties so well.

The Lunch Break: Even the best power shoppers need a break! Take a rejuvenating break with 30 minutes of cardio fitness and 30 minutes of restorative reflexology that can change the course of your whole day.

After Shopping Pleasure Perk: If you couldn’t break your shopping rhythm, you might want to head to La Prairie Spa after a full day of shopping”. This treatment includes an hour of after-shopping self-indulgence that uses foot reflexology, a luxurious pedicure to revive your feet and a mini pick-me-up facial to lift your spirits.

Here are two extra real cool extras that are offered at La Prairie Spa: facials include caviar revitalizing eye pads to take away puffiness and tiredness in eyes and you have access to luxurious Frédéric Fekkai bath amenities in the changing rooms!

If you are looking for an afternoon (or a few hours) of pampering in NYC, you might want to head to La Prairie Spa at the Ritz Carlton (50 Central Park South, 212-308-9100).
