Beauty Review: This Japanese Facial Will Give You Instantly Glowing Skin And A Slimmer Face
The newly opened Three Rhythm Spa’s Balancing Facial is a customised face and body massage ritual that will give you a radiant complexion and a more contoured appearance.

The Treatment
The therapist starts off the 60-minute facial by cleansing my decollete, neck and shoulders areas with a hot towel, then moisturising the areas with the Balancing Lotion and Balancing Emulsion. A thorough double cleanse follows, after which a hydrating Balancing Lotion Maskis placed on my face. The mask is left on for about 10 minutes, during which I am treated to a relaxing shoulder and neck massage. After the sheet mask was removed, the therapist massaged my face using the Conditioning SQ Oil using firm strokes for about 15 minutes. As a final step, hydrating skincare was applied onto my face.
The Verdict
The beauty brand is known for using only carefully selected organic essential oils and Japanese-sourced botanical ingredients and its accompanying spa uses massage to stimulate the body’s biological rhythm. While the Three products used in the facial were extremely gentle yet nourishing, making them great for sensitive skin, it was the massages that truly stole the show. The therapist used extremely firm, and at times slightly uncomfortable, strokes to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage. After the treatment, my complexion looked obviously glowing and rosy, while my jawline appeared more defined. Another plus: the shoulder and neck massage managed to work out all the knots and tightness in my muscles and left me feeling extremely relaxed and rested. $160, Three Rhythm Spa (Level 4, Tangs at Tang Plaza), tel: 6235-2913)
