WHAT: The Lifting Line Smoother, $195 for 60 min

WHERE: Clarins Skin Spa, #05-05/06/07 Wheelock Place, Tel: 6838-5060

TREATMENT: Suitable for fine lines and saggy skin, The Lifting Line Smoother (along with two other anti-ageing treatments) has been renovated to include the brand's latest Double Serum - an improved version of its predecessor, Generation 6.

The treatment begins with a skin assessment, followed by a cleanse and gentle exfoliation. To awaken the lymph nodes and drain toxins, the therapist applies Shaping Facial Lift's PRO formula using a press and fold massage move that helps drain and shape the face, while slimming down puffy cheeks. She also does a rolling and pinching movement along the jaw line to reduce double chins. The Double Serum is then applied together with a hydrating supplement to nourish and regenerate, and thereafter, layered with a salon-grade line-smoothing formula.

The last step is the application of a refreshing tissue masque enriched with peptides to help stimulate collagen synthesis, layered with a radiance supplement to reinforce the benefits. Each anti-ageing treatment includes a full hands-and-feet massage to complete the well-being experience.

VERDICT: Immediate radiance is observed. Skin is smoother, firmer, and even lifted. The massaging and patting technique applied by the therapist is very pleasurable. Don't be surprised if you find yourself dozing off.
