Celebrating one year of Thirns at The Gainsborough Bath Spa

This month marks one year of Thirns at the Spa Village Bath at The Gainsborough Bath Spa, a partnership that has quietly and confidently brought our botanical skincare rituals into one of the UK’s most exclusive wellness destinations.

Over the past 12 months, the Thirns facial has become a guest favourite at the five-star spa, located in the city of Bath, UK, offering visitors a deeply restorative treatment specifically designed for midlife skin. 

A natural spa home for Thirns

Set beneath a soaring glass atrium, the Spa Village Bath draws directly from the city’s original mineral-rich thermal springs. The Gainsborough Spa offers a contemporary interpretation of Bath’s ancient tradition of “taking the waters,” pairing its historic setting with modern luxury and exceptional wellbeing experiences.

It is within this refined environment that the Thirns facial found its natural home. Designed and performed using our complete botanical skincare system, the treatment has been purposefully developed to support the unique needs of midlife skin, restoring comfort, resilience, and luminosity without aggressive intervention.

The signature Thirns facial experience at the Gainsborough Spa Bath

The Thirns facial at the Gainsborough Spa Bath is a slow, intentional ritual that harnesses the extraordinary powers of our handmade botanical skincare. 

Enveloped in one of the luxurious Gainsborough Spa treatment rooms, the experience starts with an in-depth skin assessment, followed by the careful application of Thirns products. The Thirns spa treatment includes our signature Face Sculpting Massage, designed to move lymph fluid to lymphatic points, improve microcirculation, and gently lift and reposition the facial muscles, creating a rejuvenated look. 

During the treatment, skin is first deeply cleansed with our hero Botanical Cleansing Balm, a creamy cleanser infused with rosehip and juniper, which gently melts away impurities while nourishing the skin barrier. Our Firming Emulsion with rose from Damas, formulated to support elasticity and hydration in midlife and mature skin, is gently applied, along with our luxurious Tuberose Eye Cream, to protect the delicate eye area. The treatment concludes with our invigorating Energising Serum Mist, a revitalising blend of apothecary rose and seaweed that restores hydration and radiance.

Each Thirns skincare product is handmade in small batches in our Bath laboratory by founder and skincare clinician Olga Brennand, ensuring exceptional freshness and potency. The result is a treatment that feels both luxurious and purposeful, deeply calming yet visibly transformative. Guests leave the Gainsborough Spa with skin that feels strengthened, luminous, and beautifully balanced.

Gainsborough Bath Spa and Thirns: A year of shared values

Our partnership with The Gainsborough Bath Spa has been built on a shared commitment to excellence.

Founder Olga Brennand, a respected skincare clinician and member of both the Guild of Therapy Lecturers and the Guild of Beauty Therapists, developed Thirns through years of hands-on clinical experience. The spa environment has provided the perfect setting to further refine and perfect our formulations, guided by feedback from discerning guests who expect the highest standards of performance and luxury.

“The Thirns facial has quickly become a guest favourite at the Spa Village Bath,” says the team at The Gainsborough. “Olga’s deep clinical expertise, combined with the brand’s commitment to British botanical ingredients and small-batch craftsmanship, aligns perfectly with our own approach to luxury wellbeing.”

For Thirns, the past year has been both affirming and inspiring, setting the stage for future growth.
