While it’s always comforting to fall back on the beauty habits we’ve come to know and trust, a fresh approach to your routine can make all the difference. Fortunately in a city as fast paced as Dubai the landscape is known to change on a regular basis with new resorts and five-star properties springing up across town. And along with this spate of new openings, seasoned spa-goers are treated to a fresh pick of lavish venues to while away the day.
