Three facials that Madonna, Jessica Biel and Miranda Kerr love – but are they right for you?
Whether it’s the queen of pop’s age-defying regime or treatments that actresses and models swear by, we take a look at three facials worth trying this autumn
From Madonna’s favourite treatment to a red-carpet-ready glow, we round up three facials to try in Hong Kong this month.
1. The celebrity-approved
Skincare line MDNA was developed especially for Madonna, the queen of pop, and those who want to follow her age-defying regime can try one of two facials at The Spa in the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.
Revival face (60 minutes HK$2,080 [US$265]/90 mins HK$2,380) and Relief face (60 mins HK$1,880/90 mins HK$2,280) both massage and stimulate the facial muscles, but while the former enhances the skin’s firmness, the other moisturises it. I chose the latter for 90 minutes.
The therapist began by cleansing my skin, before applying an intensifying mask on my face. She used a metal tool shaped like a fingertip, but obviously not as soft, to apply the mask. Then she used the other side of this tool that has a vibration function, gliding it along my skin in firm, swift, long curved strokes under the cheekbones, along the forehead, and chin.
After, she massaged my face, again with firm long strokes. Then a refreshing hydrating moisturiser was applied and as part of the 90-minute treatment, the therapist applied an eye cream, and massages hands, neck and shoulders. I was advised to keep the skin products on as long as possible, making my skin feel hydrated and relaxed.
