TRIAL/FACIAL Is it possible to look younger and fresher in one hour? Simply Beauty finds out at Supreme Q.X. Beauty Spa

My belief that I can maintain youthful, beautiful skin through home care products alone may be crushed today. All it took was two hours at the opening of the second outlet of Supreme Q.X. Beauty Spa at Pacific Plaza Level 3.

The qualities that changed my mind:

1 Luxurious Space with Art Theme

This spatial art-themed spa is divided into seven cabins, each with a different theme from nature. Unlike traditional facial cabins, the rooms are well ventilated, cool, spacious and decked with wall paper that brings an element of nature into the room. The feature wall of each treatment room is decked with floor to ceiling scenes of the Santorini Aegean Sea, generic forest, a golf course, the ocean and icy mountain that evoke a sense of restfulness and relaxation upon walking into the rooms.

Beach Side 

Feather Painting 

Forest

Golf

Mountains

Ocean Room

2 Lavish Beddings

Walking into the cabin, I was warmly welcomed by the lush comforter, sewn with ruffles and glistening fabrics that add a touch of class to the whole room.

REVIEW

3 Comfortable and Effective Beauty Session

Most importantly, the facial treatment was done at a comfortable pace with results in one hour. Supreme QX Beauty Spa at Pacific Plaza is the first certified spa offering bSoul Luxe ingredients and TCM-inspired massage techniques that hail from the East. bSoul which comes from Italy contains eco-friendly phytoceuticals. Based on molecular extracts of plants, its Phytoceutical Complex enhances the treatments with biocompatibility, providing natural foods for the skin with strong healing benefits. It is great for sensitive skin as it is free of parabens, petroleum, SLES, paraffins, silicones, PEG and not tested on animals. Factor vegans and animal lovers would be most happy to know.

The pace of the treatment and massage strokes of the therapist was so comfortable that I was lulled to sleep barely a few minutes into the massage. Most importantly the East-meets-West treatment includes point massage strokes that tone the skin, reduce puffiness caused by water retention and improve blood circulation. I woke up to calmer complexion, more even skin tone, toned skin and with a sharper V-shape.

My skin became softer to the touch immediately, and it felt just as soft the next morning.

Types of Treatments Available

If you are concerned about your chubby cheeks and less than toned body, check out its Hydra Detox Treatment and Lower Body Water Retention Treatment. They set the body in deep detoxification process to address cellulite and stubborn fats and tone the body.

Hydra Detox Treatment (Body) is priced at $188 (30 minutes) and $376 (60 minutes). It addresses water retention and fats with draining and detoxifying treatments using herbal powder and sea salt.

Magic Tone (Face) is priced at $398 (90 minutes); $498 (105 minutes) This is a skin firming and toning treatment for all skin types.

Intensive Acne Away I is priced at $228 (90 minutes) For those with pimples and acne prone skin, this cleansing and purification treatment is suitable even for the most sensitive skin. It boosts skin healing and reduces pimple growth.

Intensive Acne Away II (with TCM) is priced at 398 (105 minutes) Using exclusive Meridian Tissue Manipulation philosophy, this treatment improves cell renewal and skin’s natural defence against bacteria. A course of treatments is recommended to see results of a smoother and acne-free complexion.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. That's what bSoul is About

The philosophy behind bSoul is to respect your skin and heal it lovingly and gently with botanical products minus common skin irritants. To illustrate this point, the staff at Supreme Q.X. Beauty Spa  Pacific Plaza did a thorough skin analysis using a machine from Korean.

They found that I have thin skin which results in uneven patches.

Undergoing skin analysis after the facial treatment.
Notice the sharper jawline?

Further analysis on the hyperpigmentation on my skin, they found that some of the freckle like spots had a white spot inside. This means that a light-based treatment I had undergone in the past did not successfully eradicate the spot. To treat my skin, the suggestion is to heal and strengthen the skin gently using their basic range. They suggest using their day cream for the day and ply on a sun protection only when I would be staying outdoors for long hours or during outdoor exercises. The key point is to respect the skin.

They also suggested that I do not try to make my freckles "disappear" but to treat my skin gently with bSoul botanical products after my skin has regained its resilience.

TIP:
When moisturising skin, it is better to gently pat the formulation onto the skin using the warmth of our palms, than to massage it into the skin with our fingers. Reason being, the skin can only absorb a certain amount of nutrients at a time, massaging with our finger tips will not help much. However, the warmth of our palms is able boost absorption of the nutrients from the formulation deeper into the skin. I was also told that a little of bSoul cream or lotions can go a long way, hence it would be a waste to slather on too much of the product.

SHOP/REVIEW The best cleansing gadget for the busy woman with Clarisonic Mia FIT

Clarisonic Mia FIT

With advancements in technology, we will find an electronic designed for most daily tasks, and one for facial cleansing is not surprising. In recent years, there have been numerous electronic cleansing gadgets for cleansing our face. Today Clarisonic, one of the top selling brands has compacted this gadget and given it additional features that makes it almost indispensable – compact design that fits into travel pouches, two cleansing features, plus it leaves skin more radiant and refreshed. Most importantly, in 60 seconds it cleanses your skin six times better than manual cleansing using hands.

Why it is great?

Clarisonic Mia FIT is designed for every woman, regardless of how busy or fuss-free she wants her beauty regime to be. It has a travel-friendly design small enough to fit into a gym bag or carry-on.

Has two settings: 60 second delicate cleanse for everyday impurities, and a 80 second power cleanse, perfect for after workouts or for long-wear makeup removal.

Fab Features

The new Mia FIT comes with a patented Radiance Brush Head with smooth, soft bristles that offers a luxurious and effective cleansing experience. It also helps to improve skin texture. Every Mia FIT is sold with a Skin Illuminating Cleanser formulated with extracts of Licorice Root, Peppermint Leaf and Ginko Biloba Leaf to leave your complexion more radiant.

A Clarisonic consumer study of 50 women who use Mia FIT daily regimen over four weeks reveal that:

• 96% report having softer, smoother and more refreshed feeling skin

• 100% claim the regimen effectively removes impurities from the skin

• 94% claim their skin is more radiant than before

• 100% agree their skin feels deeply cleansed after use

TRIAL

I use this wonderful gadget to remove make up and cleanse my skin at the end of each day.

Makeup Removal

My skin is clean after each use. All I need to do is to move the gadget around my face to ensure every spot is covered until it stops automatically. The brush head would turn brown with accumulated makeup at the end of the cleansing ritual.

I checked if it is clean once by using cleansing the face a second time. Good to note that the brush didn’t change colour like the first time. So cleansing it once is definitely sufficient.

Cleansing

This gadget is great for day when I didn’t use any makeup too.

What I love about Clarisonic Mia Fit:

Nifty Clarisonic Mia Fit in pink with
refreshing Clarisonic Sonic Radiance Skin Illuminating Cleanser

It has two settings, one for deeper cleansing when I am using it to remove makeup and cleanse my skin at one go, and a normal cleansing setting for days for normal cleansing on skin without makeup.

My skin was brighter after the first use. Pigmentation marks was lightened as dead skin with hyperpigmentation is sloughed off during the cleansing.

The brushing seems to give my skin some gentle exercise during the cleansing ritual. My skin seems to be firmer especially after the first few cleansing sessions with Clarisonic Mia Fit.  

White heads that appear  are sloughed off within a few days, thus my skin is less bumpy than before.
Foundation glides on better and lasts through the day.

I like the choice of colours that goes beyond white or black.

I am convinced Clarisonic Mia Fit is an effective beauty gadget that can fit easily into any busy women’s schedule, especially with its benefits that include more than just normal cleansing.                            

The Mia FIT also comes in three beautiful shades of pink, blue and white.

A new design for men is also available, Alpha Fit, $250

Clarisonic Alpha Fit for men

Mia FIT is available at $250 from July2016 at Tangs Orchard, Robinsons Raffles City and all Sephora stores.

Enhanced Living with Essential Oils

Enhanced Living

A year ago, a friend recommended me these essential oils to soothe some of my health issues when he started on a new business. Today, these have been valuable companions and life enhancers.

#Wintergreen to soothe joint pains. It almost instantly soothes the pain, however, repeat application and massaging helps to keep it at bay at least for the first few days of application. 

#Eucalyptus Blue soothes and opens up my blocked sinuses. It has an aroma that grew on me and does have its benefits at times.  

#Lemon helps to calms nervousness almost immediately, while leaving an uplifting effect.

#Peppermint helps to soothe migraines and headache when applied sparingly over temples and top of head. Not only does it soothe the throbbing pain in seconds, it also enhances my sleep,

Young Living Aromalux Atomizing Diffuser, S$231.50,
multi-functions as a aroma diffuser, air purifier and atomiser 

Designed by D Gary Young, this nifty gadget is designed to enhance your #aromatherapy experience with proprietary BioGeometry design principles, technology and features. Any space would be transformed one that is comfortable and relaxing.

It offers 10 hours of diffusion through a number of settings such as diffusion pause timer of up to 20 minutes and five different LED display light settings.

#BioGeometry is a breakthrough research by Egyptian architect and scientist Dr Ibrahim Karin, that identified a special energy effect found in the energetic centers of all living systems, to provide balance.
