What is it? A 30-minute back massage to generate a healthy flow of chi plus a 60-minute facial to rehydrate and firm.
What does it involve?
The therapist begins by giving a brief consultation to analyse skin type. She uses fingers and palms to stimulate pressure points in a Chinese acupressure-style massage. After the massage, makeup is removed and the face is thoroughly cleansed. Next comes a steam extraction to remove blackheads, then a firming mask. Finally, moisturising essence is applied. All products are from Qi Shiseido, which are exclusive to the salon.
What was the atmosphere like?
The treatment room was softly lit and the temperature was comfortable. The heated blanket made me feel relaxed. But occasionally I could hear chatter coming from the next room.
