The Treatment

This 60-minute body treatment helps to soften tissues, release cellulite and boost lymphatic circulation for smoother, softer skin and a more sculpted silhouette. It starts off with a leg massage using a slimming cocktail of Clarins Body Shaping Cream and Active Contouring Supplement to firm skin and stimulate microcirculation. The therapist uses a mixture of knuckling, fisting and gliding hand movements to break down fats and bloating caused by water retention. A ClarinsPro Thermo-Activated Contouring Mask is then applied to the thigh area, followed by a wrap to seal in the benefits. The gel-in-oil textured mask starts off cool then slowly warms up to help target cellulite and smooth skin. The mask is left on for 15 minutes, during which the therapist will continue the contouring massage on your upper body and arms. A relaxing back massage rounds up the treatment. 

The Verdict

Slimming body treatments tend to be slightly uncomfortable, but I found this to be effective yet pampering. The massages were never too painful and actually help to soothe my stiff muscles, and I noticed that my waistline looked slimmer while my legs felt smoother after. $185,  Clarins Skin Spa (#05-05/07 Wheelock Place), tel: 6838-5060
