I’ve always had dehydrated and sensitive
skin, and the condition of my skin has gotten a lot worse ever since I came
back from Paris (the weather was pretty cold when I was in the City
of Light). If you take long flights or visit drier countries, you probably know
what I mean. So I was pretty excited when I was given the opportunity to
review the Relaxing Eye Treatment and Maria Galland's Cocoon Facial at
Immortelle Atelier.
Conveniently located at United Square in
Novena, Immortelle Atelier provides professional facial, make up and hair
services using only high-quality and premium products. Indeed, some of the
products that the salon uses are Maria Galland, a premium skin care line from
France and Jyunka from Japan.
I was attended to by my friendly and
knowledgeable therapist, who took me through the various facial services that are
available at Immortelle Atelier in-depth, and they include:
-
Maria Galland Hot Modelling
Facial Treatment (for rejuvenating & lifting effects)
-
Jyunka Vitamin C Facial
Treatment (for instant radiance)
-
Jyunka Epidermal Peel Facial
Treatment (for skin purification)
-
Jyunka Whitening Facial
Treatment (Whitening treatment)
-
Filorga Cryolift Facial
Treatment (for firm and intensive radiance)
-
Intensive Dark Circle Eyecare
Treatment (for dark eye rings & puffiness)
The treatment that I was scheduled for was
the Maria Galland Cocoon Facial Treatment for instant hydrating results. I’ve
never tried something like this before, but the professionalism and friendliness
of the staff put me at ease.
I was led into a small but cosy room to
being the treatment.
We started off with the usual deep facial
cleansing procedure, followed by the eye treatment thereafter. This is really
interesting as she applied the Gua Sha therapy to my under eye area. If you’re
not familiar with Gua Sha (just as I was earlier), this is a traditional
Chinese medical treatment that uses a spoon-like
tool to scrape your skin. According to my therapist, this helps to stimulate blood
circulation and reduces dark eye rings. She even shared that some customers
actually commented that they could feel a difference in their vision right
after the eye treatment. I can’t attest
to this, but it did feel good.
For the facial treatment, she applied the
Maria Galland Masque Froid Hydratant Hydrating Cooling Mask. As it name
suggests, the mask was really cooling and I felt good knowing that my
(dehydrated) skin could finally get the essential moisture that it needs. She shared that this is one of the star products by Maria Galland, and that she has
seen her fair share of brides who diligently used the Cooling Mark for at least
a week before their big day, and swear by it.
Both treatments lasted slightly under two
hours. Eyebrow trimming, extraction and your usual neck and shoulder massages
are provided as well. I could instantly feel a difference right after the
facial – my skin was much firmer, supple, radiant and definitely
well-moisturized.
Apart from facial services, Immortelle
Atelier also provides professional makeup and hair services for both adults and
kids. Not surprising, given that United Square is also known as the ultimate
kids mall. My therapist shared that they have their fair share of experience styling
kids for children’s birthday parties.
The team of lovely ladies and their
affordable treatment that uses premium and quality products easily attests why
Immortelle Atelier has won several accolades (such as CozyCot.com’s ‘Best Salon
Vitamin Infused Skin care' for their Jyunka serum SME of the year 2014 and ‘Singapore’s Outstanding Enterprise’ Award 2013). This may be my first time at the salon, but I know I’ll definitely be
back for more!
