London’s Best Beauty Treatments – Review by The Handbook

Tired of London and you’re tired of life, the saying goes. Feeling a bit lacklustre about your newfound freedom? This Russian Banya experience will reignite your passion for the city (and all its… eccentric offerings) while conveniently making it feel like you’ve escaped to Moscow. Added bonus, it’ll pep you up for any events filling your calendar until your fav holiday destination goes ‘Green’ again.

If your long-neglected skin could do with exfoliating and moisturising, Banya No.1 is the perfect place to start. Spend as long as you can handle in the sauna, then opt for the honey and salt scrub to slough off any dead cells. You’ll feel incredibly smooth for days afterwards.

Tip: Lay off the vodka shots in the adjoining snack bar – the sauna is one of the hottest in the world, so you’ll want to take it easy if it’s your first time.
