A basic facial typically consists of a deep cleanse, exfoliation, a mask treatment, and a massage. The facials at SK-II Boutique Spa, however, are anything but basic. The spa, which specialises in highly potent and effective facial treatments, uses SK-II products exclusively, and prides itself on providing the ultimate luxurious experience, coupled with the utmost professional service.

In fact, top-notch service is what the spa’s loyal customers rave about most. “Beauty therapists at SK-II Boutique Spa are required to go through a mandatory training period of eight weeks, as well as yearly evaluations, to ensure that they’re able to provide the best care and service to the customer,” says spa director Buraya Ng. “With an average of 10 years’ experience between the therapists, you can be assured that your skincare and wellness needs are met. Every customer’s skin and lifestyle profile is recorded, maintained, and cyclically reviewed to ensure that they’re getting the care they need.”

Expert service aside, SK-II Boutique Spa strives to pamper customers in other ways. For instance, its innovative Senzational Bed, which is made up of a 2-inch-thick down mattress, Tempur therapeutic pillow and smooth cotton linens, is designed to minimise stress. This supposedly relaxes the skin, so that it is more receptive to the treatment products. Says long-time customer Elena Chow: “The spa is my monthly two-hour escape from a hectic life managing four kids and a thriving business. I always leave feeling energised, confident, and satisfied knowing that I’ve done something worthwhile for myself.”

Breathe deep One of the spa’s most popular facials is the Senze Oxygenated Facial, which harnesses the reported antibacterial, anti- ageing and regenerative benefits of oxygen, via infusion, spray and inhalation. First, the therapist does a thorough cleansing and pore extraction.

Next, depending on your skin condition, a brightening, anti-wrinkle or antiacne serum is applied. After that, oxygen is infused into skin through an application probe. This step supposedly helps repair damaged cells. Then, while the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask is applied, oxygen is administered through a special headset. Inhaling the oxygen is said to strengthen the immune system, relieve stress and increase one’s sense of well-being.

Finally, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is sprayed over skin to help calm any skin irritation or inflammation, leaving the complexion feeling soothed and rejuvenated.
