Skincare brand Nivea is to open its third Nivea Haus day spa in Berlin, Germany, in February 2009.

The Berlin Nivea Haus will open on the city centre's Unter den Linden boulevard and offer ‘spontaneous’ treatments, with no appointment necessary. It will also boast a café, which will combine refreshments with short treatments.

The Nivea Haus concept was first launched by Nivea's parent company, Beiersdorf AG, in central Hamburg, Germany, in April 2006. Details: beiersdorf.de
