Whether you want to get ready for summer beaches or recover from the dehydration caused by flying, here are five spa treatments to help.

1. Champney’s just unveiled a new 55-minute Bamboo massage, available at all four of its health spas. Bamboo canes and bamboo oil combine to stretch and massage the body and improve lymphatic flow, £65, champneys.com

2. German dermatologist Dr Duve (just like the bedding) and his laser jet peel (high pressure water jets that massage skin) developed the Altitude Fix facial using massage, exfoliation, a mask and that laser jet to bring skin back down to earth. Not as pampering as other facials but skin responds well. Available exclusively at Four Salon, £95, doctor-duve.com

3. QMS Medicosmetics, which recently launched its skin line range at the Thalassa Spa at the Anassa in Cyprus, has the Oxygen Facial available at its pristine premise at Sloane Square. Exfoliation is followed by steam to activate the peel and an algae mask to help rehydrate and calm before a blast of 98 per cent pure oxygen which helps to channel ingredients deeper into the skin, £145, qmsmedicosmetics.com

4. The spa at the Asian-inspired May Fair hotel has introduced five new signature spa treatments to its successful portfolio: Spa Seasons. For summer, the Sweet Orange and Orange Blossom Exfoliating Scrub, involves a full body exfoliation, followed by a massage with sweet orange balm, £80, mayfairspa.com

5. Skincare guru Sarah Chapman’s signature Bespoke Facial is a popular pre-and post-travel treatment. Using super hydrating masks, boosting circulation with French petrissage facial massage and remove dead skin cells by buffing and exfoliating to all using her Skinesis products (hand-blended using vitamins and peptides). £125, sarahchapman.net
