Ideal for pampering both mind and body, The Glass House Retreat in Essex has launched an innovative new skincare-based retreat
With wellness travel on the rise, this skincare retreat in Essex makes an excellent escape for anyone obsessed with both beauty and beautiful places. Whether you’re passionate about skincare or seeking solutions for problem areas, look no further that the award-winning Glass House Retreat which has introduced the UK’s first dedicated skincare retreat.
Glass House Retreat is a plant-based, caffeine and alcohol-free wellness retreat based in the heart of the Essex countryside. Promoting total mind and body wellness under one roof, it is one of the UK’s leading holistic retreats offering transformative programmes for wellness and emotional fitness – complete with luxe spaces, a Himalayan salt sauna, indoor swimming pool, a panoramic gym and a plethora of spa treatments.

How it works
Each luxury four-night Skincare Retreat starts with a Professional Consultation using high-tech skin scanners to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Then, the Skincare Retreat progresses onto a series of Bespoke Facials with the aim that guests leave with a revitalised glowing skin and an easy programme they can follow at home to continue their skin journey.
The Glass House Retreat have partnered with IMAGE Skincare for their amazing results driven ethos and products. IMAGE offers clinical grade skincare powered by proven ingredients, smart botanicals and results driven technology, created by an aesthetician and offer clean skincare with effective, mindful formulas.
A combination of powerful products and innovative technologies such as Dermalux, Lipofirm and Mesoboost enables each of the retreat’s therapists to maximise clients’ results.
After daily pampering skin clinic sessions, guests are free to join the retreat’s fitness classes, including new aerial yoga, wellness workshops, or to simply relax and use the facilities.
And, to make sure that guests are feeding their skin from the inside out, The Glass House Retreat offers guests a fully plant-based menu which is designed to detox the body and strengthen the immune system, with the Skincare Retreat providing a dual action revitalising regime.

Melissa Mitchelmore from the Glass House Retreat told The Wordrobe, “Due to the unforeseen events over the past couple of years, wellness and self-care have become a focus-point for many, however, not everyone realises that our skin is our biggest organ and so it’s vital to give it the love and care it deserves.
Retreats are traditionally focused predominantly on the mind and nutritional health, however, with science behind the skin wellbeing industry providing more results-driven offerings than ever before, many people are looking for instant gratification in shorter periods of time. We are delighted to offer the UK’s first skincare retreat at the Glass House!”
The Glass House Skin Care Retreat includes a four night stay in a Superior room; initial consultation using skin scanner to decide bespoke treatment plan; three 50 minute facials over three days which are completely tailor-made based on desired results; a full self care recommendation plan to continue the skincare journey at home; access to fitness classes and wellness workshops; full use of state-of-the-art facilities, including heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym; plus full board accommodation.
