Brightening Skin Treats

Give your skin a further radiance boost.

Bioskin Power Light Facial, $200 for 45 minutes

(Call 6222-6777 or log on to www.bioskin.sg for more details and salon locations.)

As this is meant to reduce the appearance of dark spots and pimple scars by delivering solid-state light energy into skin, you may feel a warm, tingling sensation.

It is also said to stimulate collagen production, so skin is firmer and enlarged pores look smaller. After one session, your skin is also meant to feel smoother, and look clearer and more luminous.

SK-II Aura Lucency Facial, $320 for 100 minutes

(SK-II Boutique Spa by Senze Salus, #02-54/55 Millenia Walk, tel: 6336-4880; #02-06 Shaw Centre, tel: 6836-9168.)

This brightens and moisturises the face, eye and neck areas with brightening skincare from SK-II’s Genoptics range, Whitening Source Derm Revival Mask, and Skin Rebooster, a moisturising gel-mask.

The eye area gets a radiance boost with micro-currents from a Biowave machine. After that, Signs Eye Mask is applied, making the skin firmer and less puffy.
