Eons ago, my introduction to Beluga Caviar was at the port of Bandar-e Shapur by the Caspian Sea, now re-named Port of Imam Khomeni. Even expensive at its source, Caviar embodied luxury, was available in abundance when Tehran was my temporary home in another period of my life.

Today at Longevity Hub La Clinique Prairie similar caviar is treated differently, not through ingesting but penetration of their Luxury Skin Caviar Collection, refined cream and oil through a facial massage to lift and firm the forty-two facial muscles.

Luxurious in its smoothness, cool and refreshing, as the Senior Spa Therapist, Varunee Markpichai, nickname Tong, lavishly massaged my cheeks upwards, should have resulted in my giving-in to a blissful dose. Instead my fascination through her professional touch, the gentle fingers with a mission, the dedication of a well-trained specialist, her personality and skill emerging through her fingers that I decided to have a conversation.

Questioning every movement, every blob of oil or cream she rubbed into my face, facial muscles never still from the inquisition of difficult queries; the confidence reflected in her voice never faltered but showed knowledge.

After asking the six different maneuvers of lifting, moisturizing, rejuvenation and hydrating the skin with different varieties of Caviar oil, concentrated extract, and serum, I felt refreshed but continued firing questions of her personal thoughts on customers wanting to look younger, appropriate ageing and anything to dislodge her beliefs.

Our discussions centered on everything that happens in daily life, impacting all forty-two facial muscles, all the while massaging my face as she spoke. Her validation of enough accumulation of life’s mistakes and worries plus dryness of the skin through ageing deposits ample weight, land their signature of eye-bags, creases knotted between eyebrows, or even the signature lines of smiles and even contempt remains etched. The conclusion was that facial massage helps to even out the lines of life’s errors, with the best available oil extracts; the Skin Caviar collection is infused with the natural product of fish eggs that is able to support life, its rich nutrients act as a ingredient that nourishes skincare.

The conversation resulted in my complete admiration of the dedication, excellently trained by La Prairie staff from Switzerland, the detailed knowledge of oil and cream combination. Not once did Varunee hesitate or falter on any challenging subjects I introduced.

My hour completed, Varunee raised the bed into a sitting position and handed a mirror for my inspection. I hold on to the truth that muscle engineering, of physical facial caressing and cleansing with nature’s best ingredients, creates momentary benefit of beauty that needs constant care.
