4 Beauty Services to Treat Yourself to this December

If you're one for luxe services that do the trick, head down to Guerlain's new facial cabin at ION Orchard to experience its personalised treatments. Once settled, your therapist will have you fill out a form – asking for your daily skincare routine, lifestyle habits and more – before determining the perfect facial for you. There are a total of five treatments available at Guerlain: the Ultimate Black Orchid Age Reverse Treatment, Imperial Global Age Reverse Treatment, Royal Honey Repair & Renew Treatment, Tailor-Made Treatment and Imperial Face Sculpt Treatment, all done using the house's signature massage techniques and products. The perfect service to consider if you want something a little more massage-centric rather than clarifying.

To make an appointment, give them a call at +65 6509 3922.

Contrary to what you may think, STRIP provides way more than just waxing services; one of which is its Thermal Face Lift treatment, offering patients a more lifted look without the pain and downtime that come with surgical procedures. This non-invasive method uses radio frequency energy and heat to lift the face, diminish the appearance of visible wrinkles and promote skin elasticity by activating your skin's metabolism. Before the service, you'll be required to pick two areas of your face for your therapist to focus on using the Thermal O2 applicator, which feels like a warm hot stone massage for the face during the process. Once done, a cooling mask will be applied to soothe the skin with little to no downtime.

Introducing a new acne-dedicated medical clinic for all your skin needs, led by former medical director and entrepreneur Mr Yutaka Shimokawa and Dr Henry Loh. KINS offers personalised acne treatments using a holistic microbiome-based approach, based on research from its microbiome skincare labs in Japan. The team at KINS specialise in services that are gentle to the skin; and our favourite treatment of theirs? The KINS Signature Facial: a service that rids the skin of impurities (using medical-grade hyperdermabrasion), exfoliates and hydrates it in just an hour with no downtime. 

Find out more about their services on their website here.

Get your quick beauty fix at Paragon's Avenue on 3, equipped with a beauty cabin and therapists that provide services such as facials, eye treatments, hand massages, manicures and pedicures, hand and foot spas, as well as hair services amid your shopping. This month, we tried MZ Skin's 60-minute Light-Therapy Golden Facial Treatment to get that glowy skin just in time for Christmas. There, the therapists used the brand's products and its LightMAX Supercharged LED Mask 2.0 to promote skin rejuvenation, plump and firm the skin, calm inflammation, and reduce breakouts and hyper-pigmentation. A must-try if you're ever in town this December!
