Get Your Festive Fix with these Facial Treatments
With only a couple more days left to go till Christmas, it’s time to indulge in some well-deserved self-pampering sessions before seeing family and friends again. Here, we present you with a list of facial treatments to help prep your skin for the occasion.
After such a long and tiring year, there’s nothing we recommend more than a good pampering session. And what better way to do so than with a therapeutic facial to help you look your best for your gatherings this Christmas?
If you didn’t know already, facials are clinically known to leave your skin feeling cleaner, smoother, and rejuvenated after every session. It’s the reason why so many people (not just women) go monthly. In the good hands of experienced therapists, you can expect to get your skin rid of clogged pores through extraction, rehydrated with creams and masks, and massaged to promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in any basic facial package. Not to mention, the many targeted treatments available for all kinds of skin concerns; the most notable being anti-ageing facial services.
As such, we’ve prepared a list of spas and clinics you can head to this December for your festive fix.
Dior Prestige La Suite
Find yourself in the heart of the city and in need of a relaxing facial after you’re done with your retail therapy? Dior Prestige is the suite for you. With only two rooms for clientele in an intimate, yet cosy space, get ready to indulge in some good old fashioned pampering with Dior’s finest therapists.
With massages included in most, services at Dior Prestige La Suite provide general facial services, sculpting treatments, and even specialised ones for those most in need of a quick respite. For an all-rounded experience, we’d recommend going for the 120 minute Dior Prestige Grand Facial Treatment ($350) to deeply revitalise your skin with Dior’s signature Rose de Granville products. Suitable for all skin types.
Dior Prestige La Suite is located at ION Orchard, B2-48.
MTM Labo
Besides their quality skincare products, mtm labo is also known for two of its facial treatments – the blast+ and V-FU treatment series that target hyperpigmentation and ageing skin respectively. As we’ve mentioned previously, if you’re looking for a more specialised treatment, clinics like mtm labo can conduct just the right kinds to give you a more effective service for your skin type.
The blast+ treatment series uses custom-blended solutions and light filtering technology (in five wavelengths) to treat skin discolouration and uneven skin tone on top of hyperpigmentation that can be caused by the lack of SPF worn on a daily basis. It’s also great for hair removal should that be a concern of yours as well.
The V-FU treatment series, on the other hand, acts as an anti-ageing service with visible results in just one session. It lightens the appearance of visible fine lines, lifts sagging skin, and retains the collagen in your skin using advanced Focused Ultrasound technology. The perfect gift for moms and dads everywhere.
mtm labo is located at Winsland House (#01-04/05) and Wheelock Place (#03-21/22).
RATIONALE
Bringing one of Australia’s finest skincare discoveries to Singapore is RATIONALE – a skincare brand and facial spa that specialises in superlative formulations. Located at Raffles City and TANGS at Tang Plaza, the studio offers hour-long consultations, followed by facial services based on the results from said consultations for a more personalised experience. The best part? The therapist who begins your RATIONALE journey will also be with you till the end.
When it comes to the facials here, we do advise consulting with your therapist. However, if you wish to opt for a more generic treatment, the Absolute Brilliance Booster will do just great. It is a facial that rejuvenates your skin instantly with the infusion of Vitamin D using energising light therapy and massage for a vibrant complexion, perfect to go for the day before any big event this Christmas.
RATIONALE is located at Raffles City (#01-19) and TANGS at Tang Plaza (Level 1 and Spa at Level 4).
Clarins Skin Spa
Here’s one for the men. Following their ClarinsMen range of skincare products, Clarins’ Skin Spa has come up with a 60-minute energising facial treatment ($185) developed to treat men’s concerns specifically. If the man in your life is experiencing irritation from shaving or sporting visible effects of exhaustion like puffy or dark circles under their eyes, consider gifting them this treatment. They'll appreciate it.
Clarins Skin Spa is located at ION Orchard (#04-19).
Ikeda Spa
If you’re looking for something a little more oriental this December, consider Ikeda Spa’s 90-minute Geisha Organic Facial ($260+). This treatment utilises age-old organic Japanese ingredients like uguisu (a cleansing ingredient used by Geishas and Kabuki actors to remove their makeup after performances), rice bran, camellia oil, Azuki red beans, and peach moon water to pamper your skin, leaving it cleansed, glowy, and hydrated once your session is up.
Ikeda Spa is located at 787 Bukit Timah Road (Before 6th Ave), Singapore 269762.
Skindays
Prefer a more modern and efficient skincare treatment? Skindays is just the spa for you. With their expert skin solutions, Skindays offers three facial variations (30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes) for young and busy workaholics who need a break. Instead of having to choose from a menu of complicated facial options like other spas, your therapist will take you through a consultation before conducting a treatment based on your skin concerns within your allocated time. A great treat to yourself if you still have to work during Christmas break.
Skindays is located at 39A Pagoda St, Singapore 059198.
