Last week, iconic online department store Debenhams hosted an exclusive Day Spa experience at the luxurious Aire Ancient Baths, a serene oasis nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, London.
As part of its Generation Beauty campaign, the retail favourite showcased a curated selection of beauty essentials, highlighting the latest innovations in skincare, makeup, fragrance, and wellness across its key brands. Guests were invited to immerse themselves in an extraordinary day of indulgence, enjoying pampering treatments and rejuvenating experiences against the stunning backdrop of Aire Ancient Baths.
Debenhams welcomes guests into the soothing thermal baths of the Covent Garden hotspot, famed for its tranquil atmosphere and historical charm, where they were treated to an array of luxurious experiences from top brands. Spa-goers enjoyed exclusive massages and facial treatments by Clarins and Decree, unwound in the curated ancient baths with Kiehl’s, and received expert nail care from O.P.I. To top it all off, M.A.C provided stunning makeup glow-ups and tutorials, Salon 64 added a touch of glamour with professional hair styling, and L’Oreal Luxe Fragrances infused the day with vibrant scents, making the experience a truly unforgettable one for all involved.
The event not only celebrated the diversity of beauty, but also reinforced Debenhams’ commitment to offering high-quality, accessible products for every generation.
Here are the top 5 picks from Verge from the Debenhams Day Spa:
Decree Protect Elixir (£88 at Debenhams, RRP £110)
This powerful day serum combines protective antioxidants and skin-boosting minerals to nourish and defend your skin. Packed with vitamins C, B, and E, along with hyaluronic acid and a rose water base, it hydrates, plumps, and softens without clogging pores. This unique formula helps combat free radicals and shields the skin from environmental damage throughout the day.
Clarins Relax Body Oil (£36 at Debenhams, RRP £45)
This pampering essential is a soothing blend of 100% plant extracts, including hazelnut oil, bitter orange, basil, and chamomile, designed to relieve stress and relax tissues. Instantly absorbed, it softens and smooths the skin while easing stiff muscles and physical fatigue. Part of Clarins’ Aroma range, it embodies the brand’s 70 years of expertise in aromatherapy, combining skincare with wellbeing to pamper both body and mind.
Kiehls Midnight Recovery Serum (£39.20 at Debenhams, RRP £49)
Midnight Recovery Concentrate works overnight to restore skin, using a blend of botanical oils like Lavender, Squalane, and Evening Primrose. The formula smooths texture while you sleep, leaving your skin more radiant by morning. A Kiehl’s customer favourite, it’s a go-to for an overnight skincare boost.
MAC Lipglass (£17.60 at Debenhams, RRP £22)
This unique lip gloss delivers a glass-like shine while conditioning the lips, available in a diverse range of colours for both a high-gloss finish and a subtle sheen. Lipglass can be worn alone, layered over lip pencil, or applied on top of lipstick, making it ideal for those looking for rich pigmentation and long-lasting shine for a subtle or dramatic colour effect. Infused with jojoba oil, it also softens and conditions the lips.
Salon 64 Shine Shampoo (and Conditioner) (£15.99 each at Debenhams, RRP £19.99 each)
Viva La Shine’s X3 Intelligent Ingredient System enables every hair type to achieve a unique level of shine, with Salon64 showcasing the Mirror Glass Ripple Effect. The shampoo combines shine and anti-static actives with lightweight silicone for silky-soft hair, while coffee extract and ginger eliminate impurities for enhanced radiance. Additionally, the X3 Anti-Oxidant Complex of charcoal, dandelion, and burdock promotes scalp and hair health, and the naturally derived sulphate-free surfactants cleanse gently, preserving moisture and protecting against damage.
