Seaweed is a natural ingredient which is used by spa therapists during treatments due to its great benefits. In our daily life we encounter a number of pollutants in the air which cause our skin to age. Seaweed nourishes and protects the skin and it also increases circulation.

Should you wish to book any of the spa treatments offered by this superior Malta Spa kindly contact Le Grand Spa Malta Team on spa@excelsior.com.mt or on +356 21250520.
