What is it?
A nearly three-hour treatment that starts with a foot steam, followed by a massage and facial. It's designed to detoxify, calm and relieve tired or knotted muscles.
What was it like?
The foot steam - said to be based on a secret formula created by a Chinese nun - is a challenge at first. It looks harmless enough - a wooden tub (right) in which you put your feet while you sit on a chair. But as the steam rises from a whirring container (right) filled with herbs, the heat becomes almost unbearable, with the steam stinging your toes and shins. This is all designed to open the pores of the soles to draw out toxins. After 10 minutes, the therapist turned it down a notch and it became pleasant. I was sweating heavily by this stage. I did feel lighter afterwards, as though I'd been for a long run.
The massage, which comes next, focuses on your meridian points, which are said to regulate the flow of chi (energy). The technique was created by Bella Wong, who runs the salon. It was just the right amount of pressure, and the therapist managed to unknot my shoulders and release tension in the lower back.
But the facial was the high point of the Rejeune Feel treatment. As well as a cleansing massage and mask, the therapist used smooth stones that are said to have a magnetic effect on the skin, drawing minerals to the surface. This may be a scientific impossibility, but it felt soothing, nonetheless, and gave a deep cleanse. I had arrived with dull, tired skin, but after this, my cheeks were glowing. I rarely get such a change after facials, but this really did give shine to a lacklustre complexion.
