Red Carpet-Ready Radiance: My Experience With the Exclusive Skin Design London Facial at Montage Deer Valley
Montage Deer Valley is wrapped in alpine elegance.
As a wellness writer and spa devotee, I’ve experienced countless facials—but none quite like the one I recently experienced at Spa Montage Deer Valley.
At the breathtaking Montage Deer Valley, Skin Design London facials have debuted as part of a first-of-its-kind U.S. partnership between the iconic resort brand and celebrated UK-based founder, Fatma Shaheen.

I was lucky enough to receive the SDL Face Tight Facial: a 90-minute, $1,150 treatment offered exclusively at Spa Montage locations. Even better? My facial was performed by Shaheen herself.
She was not only incredibly warm and kind but exuded a level of precision, passion, and skin expertise that made it clear why she’s known as the “Skin Designer to the Stars.”
Spa day smiles hit different at Montage Deer Valley—awaiting my Skin Design London glow-up in total bliss.
Sweet serenity: chocolate truffles + cozy vibes in the relaxation room at Montage Deer Valley.
The treatment began with THE CLEAN, a deep detoxification step that prepared my skin to fully absorb everything that followed. A series of VITAMIN SKIN PEELS gently resurfaced my complexion, leaving it instantly brighter and more even-toned.
From there, a series of advanced Facelift Techniques—including oxygen therapy and microcurrent sculpting—worked together to visibly lift and firm my skin. Pure oxygen and designer cosmeceutical nutrients were infused into my skin, boosting circulation and collagen production while enhancing the contours of my face.
Where luxury meets the mountains: this spacious treatment room at Montage Deer Valley offers ultimate relaxation with a view.
I walked out with a sculpted jawline, plump lips, and that coveted glassy, lifted glow—and best of all, there was no downtime. The results lasted for days.
This isn’t just a facial; it’s a red carpet-ready experience that delivers on every promise. Whether you're prepping for a wedding, gala, or just craving a luxury skin reboot, this is the facial to book.
After the treatment, Shaheen took time to discuss my personal skin concerns, which meant a lot to me as a mom of three young kids. I’ve developed some melasma over the years—something many women experience after pregnancy—and Fatma immediately understood how to support my skin’s needs.
Beautiful natural scenery surrounds Montage Deer Valley and makes for the ultimate relaxing backdrop.
Her personalized product recommendations included the Face Bath, a gentle yet deeply purifying cleanser designed to restore balance without stripping the skin; and the Cherry Gloss Peel, a glow-enhancing treatment that helps to refine skin tone and reduce pigmentation.
She also recommended the C-Antioxidant Glow Serum, which brightens, protects, and strengthens the skin barrier with every use. Knowing these products were formulated with clinical precision and Shaheen'’s signature touch made me even more excited to integrate them into my routine.
Glow goals, bottled. The Skin Design London C-Glow Peel is one of Fatma Shaheen’s must-have picks.
Another offering is the SDL Vitamin Skin Glow Facial ($595, 60 minutes), a manual, hands-on treatment that focuses on advanced lymphatic massage techniques to depuff, lift, and energize the skin.
It’s paired with a gentle yet powerful custom-prescribed Vitamin Skin Peel that brightens without irritation. This option is perfect for anyone looking for visible lift and radiance with a more touch-based, holistic approach.
