Minogue spends up on Spanish spa break

Pop princess Kylie Minogue has splashed out Stg40,000 ($A82,704.44) on an
anti-ageing spa break in Spain.
The 40-year-old singer, who recently confessed to having tried Botox, spent two
seven-night breaks at the SHA Wellness Clinic, in the Sierra Helada Natural Park,
during the past six months.

The News of the World newspaper in Britain claimed on Sunday the singer indulged in
a range of treatments, including a Stg3000 ($A6,203) facial, and was fed a
macrobiotic diet to help her body's ongoing recovery from cancer.
"She loved it here and sees looking after herself inside and out as a wise
investment," a clinic source told the newspaper.
"She had six months of chemotherapy after her cancer was diagnosed and this clinic
not only allows her to hide away so she can have beauty treatments but also makes
sure her body is healthy too.
"She had lots of massages and hydrotherapy treatments, but Kylie was there for the
macrobiotic food and rejuvenation therapies."
Minogue, who has been dating 31-year-old Spanish model Andres Velencoso, ate a diet
of raw fruit, vegetables and brown rice during her stays and signed up for the
"integral facial rejuvenation" package.
For Stg3000 ($A6,203), the facial is designed to help smooth "expression wrinkles"
and return "the healthy and young appearance to the skin".
The treatment involves a patient having their own blood platelets injected under the
skin to help stimulate skin cells to produce collagen, elastin and retain water
molecules.
"It is not cosmetic surgery but the effects are amazing," the clinic source said.
Earlier this month, Minogue told Elle magazine she had tried a range of anti-ageing
products, including Botox.
However she said she was no longer having cosmetic injections because of her 2005
breast cancer battle.
"Why would I inject myself with Botox? It's a poison," she told the magazine.
"I've tried Botox, I've tried all. I'm preferring to be a lot more natural these days."
