Rosewood Abu Dhabi Unveils Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Transformative Skincare Sanctuary 

The luxury urban retreat elevates wellness with anti-aging innovations and bespoke spa rituals

Emerging from a skin therapy session appearing as though one has recently engaged in some sort of mildly vicious scrabble is seen as unsurprising these days—the celebrities who popularised the ‘Vampire Facial’ get credit for that. And while it may look alarming to some, the results speak for themselves; the seemingly unusual treatment works to reveal new, rejuvenated skin that breathes a second life into anyone’s look.

That’s exactly what’s on offer at Rosewood Abu Dhabi, where the in-house spa has released a collaboration with renowned skincare expert Dr. Barbara Sturm, who is widely known for being the brains behind the aforementioned sanguine, yet viral facial. Dr. Sturm’s Molecular Cosmetics line and transformative treatments is now part of the Sense Spa’s menu of services, adding a science-backed edge to the comforts of luxury.

At Sense Spa, one can expect to be pampered like there’s no tomorrow. The Tension Release Facial promises to melt stress while restoring a healthy glow, and the STURMGlow Facial, a proprietary treatment from the brand, delivers a hydration boost for those with dehydrated skin—a problem that plagues many in this desert environment.

For targeted solutions, the Anti-Pigmentation Facial brightens uneven tones, while the Super Anti-Aging Facial uses advanced techniques to lift and sculpt the skin. Beyond the face, the Anti-Aging Body Treatment smooths and revitalizes, ensuring head-to-toe radiance for all those who would like a skincare pick-me-up.

Each service is enhanced by Dr. Sturm’s science-backed formulations, available for post-spa care. From serums that combat inflammation to creams designed for cellular renewal, the collection invites guests to prolong their results at home with recommendations for products you can take back with you after your spa day.  

It’s the perfect way to indulge yourself in a little treat, and take time away from the bustle of city life to recharge your energy. With the promise of youthful skin on the horizon, it’s no wonder that Dr. Sturm’s skincare ethos is well-loved and trusted by so many. And now, it’s here in the MENA region as well.
