In addition to exercise, diet and a good daily skincare routine, a trip to the spa can up your beauty game.
Chain's Medicare Centre
Dr David Chain, who practises Western medicine, and Kelly Chain, a registered Chinese medicine practitioner, run this centre, which features treatments developed from the philosophies and practices of traditional Chinese medicine. A signature of this wellness facility is the 'stone energy chamber', a 'natural physical formation [that] releases both infrared rays and negative ions into its surroundings to stimulate our body to perspire and detoxify naturally'. Sessions start at HK$150 for 30 minutes.
The Feel Good Factor
This spa features alternative treatments including shellac, which is similar in look to a gel manicure and is gentler on nails (manicure, HK$400; pedicure, HK$500). Adam & Eve, which contains Australian beeswax and natural oils, is used for waxing treatments (HK$100-HK$500, depending on the body part). For those after a spray tan, the spa offers Oztan (HK$420), which contains eco-certified ingredients and is free of alcohol and parabens, a chemical preservative often found in cosmetics.
