HELP! Advice on the best face cream, massage & facial

It's my 37th birthday tmrw & DH has promised me facial, massage & a new face cream.
I usually go for the basic facial & massage & a Olay face cream but not this yr. I feel I deserve something a bit special cos I'm worth it :)

Am thinking of a hot stones massage and a Crystal microdermabasion facial.
Am bit nervous about the sandblasting my face but heard it can make your skin look incredible, is this true in your experiences? How long do the effects last & does it make your skin more likely to burn in the sun?
I used to use Estée Lauder when I was younger, had nice disposable income & loved it (the £ & the products!)
Are they still worth the money? Also thinking of Liz Earle or Gamma hydroxy cream that got good reviews.

What do u think I should ask for??

DH wants to take me to a department store tmrw early to choose my skin cream.

Any recommendations?

Ohhh I hate to burst your bubble, but they all seem much of a muchness to me. I use Liz Earle's moisturiser as it feels like a nice consistency, as is elemis. But hand on heart, I'm not sure they're better than Olay.

Do you wear make up? If so, why not treat yourself to some amazing stuff like Armani foundation or Laura Mercier primer? IMHO there's a massive difference in make up quality depending on what you're prepared to pay.

Whichever you choose, enjoy your splurge Smile

No idea on facials/massages, but I am a convert to Elemis Pro collagen marine cream. Have used it since Christmas and it is lovely. Also a fan of Imedeen tablets, I can really tell when I run out and rush to buy more.

Happy Birthday Smile

If money were no object, Id always use Sisley skincare.
