Scrub up

Are the wintry conditions taking a toll on your bod? If so, the crew at Body Conscious (16/F, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham St, Central) have the perfect antidote: a 90-minute Scrub'n'Rub treatment that will leave you soft and glowing. For $680, you can choose from one of four luxurious body scrubs (Christmas Cocktail; Silent Night: Tranquility; Festive Spirit: Refreshing; or New Year's Eve Resolution: Reviver), followed by an aromatherapy massage that uses a unique blend of 100 per cent natural essential oils. The scrub will help remove toxins, while the massage will help rid you of any stress. For further information, tel: 2524 6171, or e-mail [email protected].

Girl's best friend

Diamonds are not just a girl's best friend, they can also be the secret to smoother, younger-looking skin. Intense Diamond Peel, the latest microdermabrasion technique, uses a set of wands with diamond-encrusted tips to slowly peel away dead skin and make wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores and acne scars less visible. The technique also helps lighten dark circles and brighten puffy eyes. How could you refuse? A 45-minute session at $520 (reduced from $850) includes Dermalogica facial cleansing, Intense Diamond Peeling for the face and eye area, and moisturiser. Available from Sense Of Touch, 83A Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: 2517 0939

Silky road

If the party season has left you all sparkled out, you can tone things down with Chanel's Spring 2004 collection, Satin de Chanel, which was inspired by the warm and exotic colours of India. The hydrabase lipstick ($145) is available in four new feminine colours: Orient, Bengal, India and Cashmere. There also is a new nail-varnish range ($135) to match. Chanel has also created its first blusher duo, Joues Contraste Duo ($230). Available at Chanel counters.
