Why is it so difficult to find the time to squeeze in a facial at a spa, especially when our skin thanks us by glowing so radiantly afterwards? Probably because going to a spa takes a lot longer than the treatment you’re booked in for, if you include getting there, checking in and changing into your spa-friendly gown and slippers.
Thankfully, three’s an alternative in Cancún. Something that is no less relaxing but which is much easier to incorporate into a busy lifestyle: Ultrafemme´s Skin Lounges. Located within the Ultrafemme boutiques a Plaza Las Américas and Plaza Caracol, you can fit in a facial around your shopping and get some expert advice on what products best suit your skin at the same time.
Ask one of the cosmetologists to recommend a treatment for you. With 12 to choose from, which do everything from revive and relax to regenerate and rejuvenate, and each lasting an hour, you can enjoy some serious spoiling without it taking up top much of your day.
Afterwards, let them suggest the products that will best prolong your glow- you won’t be able to resist brands such as Origins, La Mer and L´Occitane, which are exclusive to Ultrafemme on the Riviera Maya, and the best selection of beauty products in Cancún.

Spotlight on oily skin
Oily skin is a common complaint in the Mexican Caribbean, where the weather gets humid, but treat yourself to a Skin Lounge treatment and within a few visits your appearance will be vastly improved.
The popular balancing facial, a deep-cleansing and anti-shine treatment, has been created specially for skin that is prone to breakouts. If spots aren’t your main worry, but excess oil leaves your complexion looking and feeling dull, try the brightness treatment, which gently lightens and brightens the ski (thanks to marine bioceramics and glycyrrhetinic acid) and protects it from sun damage. Afterwards, let your cosmetologist recommend the products that will really make a difference to your complexion- we’ve gathered some of the best, above.
