Damara Spa Yorkville never disappoints!
I was invited to try one of Damara Spa’s facial treatments, and I (obviously) jumped at the opportunity. I’ve never had a true facial before, and Alicia (my technician) was such a sweetheart.
Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and greeted me immediately. Alicia signed me in, handed me a pair of slippers, and brought me into the changeroom. She explained how to use the lockers, the procedure, what I could use, and where to meet her when I was ready.
I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy an infrared sauna in the women’s changeroom as I’m not a sauna-girlie. But I did take advantage of it for a couple of minutes of deep breathing and relaxation in the heat. I wanted to open my pores to take full advantage of the facial benefits. It was very quiet and relaxing. After a few minutes, I went into the relaxation lounge while Alicia got everything ready for me.
I had the Esse Live Probiotic facial and cannot be more pleased with how my skin looks and feels.
We started with a skin consultation, which told me nothing shocking. Skin, dehydrated? No one is shocked. Alicia was very knowledgeable and asked me many questions about my skincare routine (which is pretty basic for how many products I flip between).
We got into the room, I got comfortable, and we got right to it. Honestly, I have no idea what she put on my face, but I know that I had a cleanser, toners, sprays, and some gel-like substance smeared all over my face. While the gel portion was setting, she massaged the neck, shoulders, feet, and hands, which was unexpected BUT not unwelcome. I will never say no to being massaged. The Esse products all smelled and felt fantastic on my skin. My skin was so hydrated and felt so clean.
After my treatment, I was offered tea and a cookie, and I relaxed in the lounge. I walked out of there feeling sublime. 10/10 would recommend, and will be back in the future!
Thank you to the Damara staff and Alicia for such a glorious, and relaxing experience.
They’re currently running a few Mother’s Day promos:

- The Divine Mama Experience (4.15 hours)
If you want to know about another of their facials, I reviewed the GeneoX facial process here!
Check out my Instagram for the reel highlighting my trip to Damara Spa. I can’t wait to go back. I think including a facial in a bi-annual routine is just the thing for this year.
Are you adding a spa day to your Mother’s Day gift?
