Dull skin and being bloated can be problems in summer if you overindulge (the delicious Portuguese barbecue at the Sheraton is a culprit!). To combat this there are plenty of treatments. Four Seasons is offering a 90-minute slimming treatment (Weekday MOP1,750++ Weekend MOP1,950++) for those that have been skipping one too many gym sessions. Fat-burning green coffee and thermogenic chili are coupled with a special massage technique that reduces bloating, stimulates the flow of lymph, and promotes circulation. Available until August 31st.
Open from 11am to 12am

The Banyan Tree Spa offers an indulgent two-hour treatment (MOP2,188 nett) this summer that will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. It starts with a 30-minute Longjing tea body scrub that is cooling and purifying. Following the cleanser is a 60-minute Island Dew massage that relieves tired muscles by using palm strokes, thumb pressure and a special water oil which is a blend of geranium, rosemary and cypress. Finally, relax with a 30-minute Longjing tea bath to soak away any lingering tightness and finish it all off with a cup of delicious iced tea. Available until August 31st.

Six Senses Spa at MGM is offering a fruity and refreshing two- hour Summer Delight treatment (MOP1,425++) for July. Not only will spa goers leave smelling like a tropical paradise, they will also leave with smoother and healthier skin thanks to the coconut body polish that helps buff away dead skin cells. An 80-minute signature massage (choose from Detox, Energiser, Holistic or Oriental) will melt away the stress of summer (particularly dealing with frizzy locks and tan lines) leaving you on cloud nine and in the perfect mood to enjoy a post-spa cocktail (see our favorites for summer on page six). Available until July 31. If you are away for the month of July, fret not, there are plenty of other treatments available all year long, including the Brightening Intensive Amala facial, which is one of our favorites in Macau, and the deep tissue massage, which is great for relieving muscle tension and soreness (perhaps brought on by intense bikini-body training sessions you’ve been partaking in).

A brand new treatment available at both of Wynn’s spas will show your back some TLC this season. If you’ve already racked up hours of tanning this summer it’s likely the skin on your back is in need of a good exfoliation and polish, and this is exactly what the new 90-minute Ultimate Refine treatment does (The Spa at Encore MOP1,500++; The Spa at Wynn MOP1,300++). It starts off with a deep back cleanse (great for removing sunscreen buildup) using a special exfoliation technique and polish, leaving skin toned and smooth. Next up is a massage that uses both kneading and pressure point techniques to reduce water retention and expel toxins. The essential oil used contains a combination of pink grapefruit, juniper berry and rosemary that aids circulation. Available until September 15th.
Open from 9am to 10:30pm

Not forgetting the men in our lives, we have picked a treatment from the luxurious Spa at Encore. The Hommage Age Defense Facial (60-minute MOP 1,200++; 90-minute MOP 1,800++) starts with a deep cleaning facial that uses either Hommage Purify cleanser or Balance cleanser, depending on his skin type. Next is a good scrub with Hommage’s black diamond exfoliant, Reveal. Then an upper body, neck and shoulder massage using Hommage Meditate cream is followed by a revitalizing face mask (Comfort), an eye gel (Rejuvenate), an age defense lotion (Rescue), and a facial moisturizer (Fortify). Be sure to arrive 30 minutes early to enjoy the private spa suite facilities including a steam shower, sauna and hydrotherapy bath. Facials are best on clean-shaven skin so take advantage of this treatment before Movember rolls around. Read more about the luxurious Encore Spa here.
