'Tis the Season to Be Pampered at Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest together with global skin care phenomenon Black Pearl is inviting guests to experience a beautiful and exclusive facial treatment: Cleopatra’s Gift of Gold.

This seasonal offer is available from December 14, 2019 until January 5, 2020 exclusively at the Spa at Four Seasons Budapest.

“Gold is a natural element that runs in rivers deep in the core of the earth. Inclusion of gold into the spa treatments at Four Seasons Budapest echoes the magnificent flow of the River Danube, which passes by the palace. The timelessness of both gold and the flow of a river in nature, reflects the timelessness of true beauty,” says Virginia Cogliati, Spa Manager.

Cleopatra’s Gift of Gold

Black Pearl utilises the powers of one of the softest and most precious metals in the world. The supremacy of gold goes beyond the traditional concept of prestige, wealth and power. Recognised for its beautifying properties, the anti-ageing benefits of gold can be traced back 5,000 years to Cleopatra. The Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt not only believed gold reflected the brilliance of the sun but could protect her skin from a harsh and unforgiving desert climate. By sleeping in a gold face mask every night, Cleopatra enhanced the suppleness of her complexion and preserved its natural luminosity.

A Deeply Nourishing Sensorial Experience

The treatment begins with a rocking ritual designed to bring complete relaxation to both body and mind. After the ritual, the face is cleansed with an antioxidant-enriched 24 carat gold milk cleanser. The rich and indulgent cleanse is followed by application of a thermal mask containing volcanic and purifying zeolite: it warms on the skin and delivers vitamin E.  A 24 carat Gold Cleopatra Mask is then applied to the face. The gold mask is removed using natural magnetism and the skin is massaged with precious citrine to promote lymphatic drainage. The mask creates an incredibly subtle luminescence of the skin that lingers long after the treatment ends, as if the skin has renewed life, bringing a new sense of being. Fine lines are reduced and the skin is healed and deeply nourished.

24-Carat Golden Glow

Black Pearl 24 carat gold is the pinnacle of authentic quality gold and power for skin. The 24-carat gold is the softest gold for the skin that together with nanotechnology enables intense absorption. Incorporation of precious stones such as citrine into the treatments enhance the power of the gold for the skin, and this authentic 24 carat gold enables a luminescent result and flawless skin tone. In addition to antioxidant and antimicrobial powers, gold is praised for its ability to ward off UV damage, tighten lax skin and reduce the appearance of discolouration resulting in skin with a radiant lustre. As scientists continue to uncover the magic of gold, it is now also widely believed to slow the breakdown of elastin, keeping skin firm and taut; and increase circulation, eliminating toxins from the body and speeding up tissue repair. Gold also aids in decreasing inflammation, which, in turn, slows down melanin secretion and reduces age spots.
