Caviar as a facial? That's the idea as the Kerstin Florian spa range introduced its new caviar beauty products at a lunch in the InterContinental hotel's presidential suite on Tuesday. But don't worry, you're not actually smearing sturgeon eggs on your T-zone.

'When people hear about the new caviar range they're concerned, as they think we'll be mashing fish eggs onto their face,' said Charlene Florian Barker (right), vice-president of Kerstin Florian and daughter of the founder. 'But we use the extracts, which are high in protein and fatty acids. We don't want to promote anti-ageing as such; our philosophy is more about being ageless, and comfortable in your skin.'

The other thing being plugged at the event was the hotel's First Lady package for Mother's Day.
