Why go?
Luxury riverside hotel the runnymede-on-thames has launched a teen spa package to help kids chill out after the stress and strain of exams.
Expect the likes of a ‘Teen Angel’ facial, which uses products from the Clarins Energizer range, designed to revive sunlight-deprived skin, while a 25-minute massage will iron out all the knots from hunching over school books.
Teens can get their toes ready for the summer too with a nail tidy, foot massage and colour application, or avoid the inevitable ‘wash that off your face’ argument with subtle make-up tips.
Boys are not forgotten either, there’s a specially-designed facial including a skin analysis and deep cleanse.
And of course you’ll need a little recharging yourself. Choose from umpteen facials, massages, scrubs, rubs and wraps to help you unwind.
