There’s no side-stepping this sombre fact: the odds are stacked against our complexion. On a daily basis, physical and environmental aggressors (think tugging and rubbing, UV rays and pollution) weaken the skin’s defences and accelerate signs of ageing.
That’s not all. Our mental health, compromised by the demands of work, parenting and general adulting, can also be mirrored by the skin. Think about the times you’ve had an anxiety-induced eczema or acne flare-up, no thanks to higher-than-usual levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
At the same time, the natural ageing process does a number on oestrogen, the hormone that helps keep skin supple and plump. Declining levels over time leads to dryness and itching.
But all is not lost. With a little help from pros like TaraBliss Facial Spa, you can give your busy mind a break, bring some balance back to those hormones and give your skin a rejuvenating boost all at once.
What modern women will appreciate about this award-winning treatment at TaraBliss Facial Spa is how it doesn’t just treat the skin alone; rather, it takes into account the importance of improving mental wellness and balancing the hormones such that the skin can achieve a healthy radiance. Exactly the integrated approach we need to keep up with demanding lifestyles.
The Face Yoga facial treatment is a spa event you need to be intentional about. At two hours long, this is not for rushed days. But at the end of this unique, personalised and luxurious facial, you will be ecstatic that you’ve made time for it.
Step into TaraBliss Facial Spa and the soft lighting and inviting atmosphere will immediately lull you into a more relaxed state, a great way to start your spa-cation.
But more than giving you a little R&R (though that’s super important), the Face Yoga facial treatment is also big on results.
That is why the first step is a Personalised Skin Diagnosis using an Ioma machine that measures seven dimensions of your skin including: hydration level, oil level, severity of fine lines and wrinkles, condition of skin barrier, sagginess, dark eye circles and the lip contour. (The spa claims that there are only two such machines in Singapore.)
Before you step into the treatment room, you will be asked to choose an essential oil to be diffused during your facial. Anxiety begone!
The three key products in the Face Yoga treatment pack some serious punch.
Made with a concoction of six oils, such as from olive, dill, fenugreek and marjoram, the PowerUp Vitality Oil is lovingly kneaded into the face, neck, throat (thyroid area) and shoulders. Benefits of the oil include fighting inflammation, balancing hormones, relieving stress, improving skin elasticity and firmness, restoring a healthy skin barrier and protection from harsh external conditions.
A second PowerUp Vitality Cream then soothes, brightens and lifts skin, while helping to balance hormones and combat premature ageing. It contains potent actives such as the proprietary TENS’UP (for immediate lifting and wrinkle-smoothing) and proven antioxidants like ferulic acid, tocopherol, resveratrol, amla and angelica.
Capping off the arsenal is the PowerUp Vitality Boost, a mask containing five different types of extracts and oil to repair and strengthen irritated skin, as well as Juveleven, a patented peptide that reduces DNA damage and helps to delay signs of ageing.
The final step in the Face Yoga treatment is the ultimate wind-down treat. A mask made entirely with purple amethyst — a healing crystal said to vibrate at high frequencies and instill calm and confidence — is laid on the face before you leave the spa feeling positively uplifted.
You will be hard pressed to find another facial as unique and holistic as the Face Yoga treatment at TaraBliss. And those who have tried it can't help singing its praises.
Lifestyle influencer and mother-of-one Apple Ng said: “The aesthetician was really gentle and made the whole experience so relaxing that I fell asleep during the treatment.”
Linda Tang, co-founder of WeBarre studio concurred: “I like how they analyse your skin first and personalise the treatment, and how zen the room felt. A great hour of me time and self love!”
