Natura Biseé is the innovative spa and skincare brand from Barcelona, specialising in forward thinking cosmetics needs, and now they have once again set themselves apart as pioneers by bringing beauty, mindfulness and digitalisation together.

Their Mindful Touch technology can be introduced into any one of the brand’s facials, adding a virtual reality component to allow you time to relax into your treatment. With a set of specially designed goggles, guests are invited to relax on the treatment bed for eight minutes (the optimum time period Natura Biseé has ascertained clients need to start the relaxation process) prior to treatment.

The goggles provide you with an immersive virtual reality video and an audio that invites the client to focus on their breathing and on their body sensations. It immerses you in a state of mindfulness that allows you to fully enjoy the physical nuances of the treatment through the senses, release tension and reconnect with yourself.

Bringing beauty, mindfulness and digitalisation together.

While wearing the goggles you will see different scenes to encourage a relaxed state of mind, and once they are removed and your facial begins, you will have an audio guide through your treatment to help you to remain in the moment. The audio will talk through what you’re experiencing at any given moment, helping you to refocus and stay in the moment, coordinating with the therapist’s actions and bringing you into the present.

While a lot of people initially thought it was a digital gimmick, trialling it is proving to be extremely effective, and it is already in use at a number of spas including Pennyhill Park in Surrey. The idea is part of Natura Bissé’s ambitious goal of 360° spa protocol, going beyond skincare to inner balance.

“A transformative wellness experience for body and mind”

Director of Innovation and Product Development for Natura Bissé, Patricia Fisas, says: “this technological innovation, combined with unique skincare treatment, results in a transformative wellness experience for body and mind. The client ends the ritual feeling totally relaxed, in a state of absolute calm and serenity and with exceptional immediate results on their skin.”
