Skin Saviours: 4 Skinceutical Heroes

Time out is precious, outrageously so. As our busy lives bring more demands and multitasking becomes the norm, the chance to really escape and reap some wellness rewards becomes the ultimate luxury. Aware of this, The Marker Hotel has created an urban spa that offers retreat, head space and a menu of highly effective SkinCeuticals treatments, combining relaxation with seriously effective skin solutions.

SkinCeuticals is the brand of choice for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medi-spas and other skincare professionals. The brand’s mission is to raise the bar in skincare by promoting health and not trends, with products and services regarded as gold standard throughout the aesthetic industry. ?It’s no longer enough to offer just a relaxing experience with a treatment,? says The Marker’s Spa Manager, Clara Lynam. ?We want to go beyond pampering to offer our clients something their skin will really respond to. We chose SkinCeuticals because the combination of spa treatments and home products can truly tackle individual skin concerns and make significant, visible improvements.

?Every treatment delivers an experience that we believe exceeds the traditional spa offering because we put skin health at the heart of what we do. We work on three complementary principles: to prevent signs of premature ageing, to correct visible signs of age and to protect healthy skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. As a result, we’ve had huge response from female professionals working in the IFSC and surrounding docklands area, in addition to our hotel guests.?

Spa and Wellness at The Marker offers a menu of SkinCeuticals treatments which can be combined with skin scanning to diagnose an optimum treatment and home product programme.
