The Facial That Resets Your Skin and Your State of Mind

Tucked within the heart of Corinthia London lies Biome, the hotel’s newly launched wellness sanctuary designed as a secluded ecosystem of expert care. Bringing together three pioneering wellbeing partners – Wildsmith, Augustinus Bader and AMP – the space blends nature-led therapies, cutting-edge skincare science and performance-driven movement to create a truly holistic approach to health and beauty. 

It is recommended that each treatment begins with Biome’s Guided Heat & Water Therapy, an immersive thermal journey through steam, sauna, plunge and recovery experiences that prepares both body and mind for what follows. Led by a knowledgeable Biome curator, the ritual is rooted in physiological science, helping to improve circulation, ease tension and optimise the body’s readiness for treatment. It’s an experience that instantly encourages you to disconnect from the outside world and tune into yourself.

I was then treated to the Wildsmith Radical Botany Facial, and to call it a facial almost feels like an understatement. This is as much a nervous system reset as it is a skincare treatment. Ideal for those feeling depleted, overwhelmed or simply in need of a pause, the 60-minute experience combines breathwork, myofascial release, acupressure and craniosacral techniques with Wildsmith’s exceptional botanical formulations that smell like nature. Rather than simply treating the skin’s surface, the treatment works holistically to release deep-held tension throughout the face, scalp and neck, encouraging the body to relax while supporting the skin’s own regenerative processes.

What struck me most was how deeply calming the treatment felt. Within minutes, I had drifted into a meditative state. It felt restorative in a way that extended far beyond skincare, leaving me lighter mentally as well as physically.

The results, however, were equally impressive. My complexion looked visibly smoother, plumper and more sculpted, I had that ‘glow’ that is only ever really achieved after a good facial or a day in the sun. My skin looked genuinely revitalised and refreshed.

Biome’s philosophy is centred around reconnecting guests with the body’s innate wisdom, and that ethos shines through every detail of the experience. From the thoughtfully designed thermal rituals to the intuitive, therapeutic touch of the Wildsmith facial, the emphasis is on long-term wellbeing rather than quick fixes. In a city brimming with luxury spa experiences, Biome offers something refreshingly different: a space where advanced skincare, holistic healing and genuine restoration exist in perfect harmony. If you’re searching for a treatment that leaves both your complexion and your nervous system feeling beautifully renewed, the Wildsmith Radical Botany Facial deserves a place at the very top of your wellness wish list. I will be back.
