Slimming Peeling/Wrap Body Treatment at L'Espace Sante on 17 Aug 2016

I was very thankful that Lucille, co-founder of L'Espace invited me to try out their Signature Slimming Peeling/Wrap body treatment.  In fact Lucille is my Aunt's good friend since secondary school and they hang out together a fair bit and even came to our family gatherings too.  I remembered seeing Lucille before but I didn't have a chance to chat with her as I was busy with the kids and I thought she could be one of our distant relatives since she was at our family gatherings.

We had a good chat when I visited L'space Sante on 17 Aug 2016 for the treatment.  It was where I knew Lucille had been in the beauty industry for many years.  She mentioned that her customers who came to her for treatments are now bringing their children for treatments too.  

There are actually two branches by L'Espace.

Partner Salon of Sothys Paris

L'Espace use only the best treatments from Sothys Paris. Originated from France, it has the widest range of specialised treatments to deal with every skin issue. Most of these are exclusively developed for use by trained beauticians.

In Singapore, L-Espace is the only skin care salon headed by former Sothys Paris trainers.

 I can totally understand why customers come back for facial or body treatments... Lucille is such a friendly and sweet lady!  Even though she is the co-founder of two salons, she was so patient in explaining the Slimming Peeling/Wrap Body Treatment and answering all my questions.

I must say that the salon is very well designed making use of the high ceiling structure to create a magnificent feel to the environment.

 With the clever use of colours and lightings, the salon provides a cozy atmosphere which customers feel comfortable in.

 The passenger way leads to the four treatment rooms where customers have their treatments done.  One of the rooms has two beds, which is suitable for couples or mothers bringing their daughters along to do treatments together.

Just look at the ceiling... uniquely designed!

The Signature Slimming Peeling/Wrap Body Treatment helps to exfoliate the skin, drain toxins out and decongests the skin.  It also promotes lipolytic action and boosts the effectiveness of skincare products.

The key ingredients in the Sothys product used for this treatment are marine salts(fine) + lactic acid (AHA), bitter orange extract and zeolite (mineral) to achieve the above actions.

When the beautician applied the product onto my body, it feels grainy and has a warming effect upon application.

The beautician performed exfoliation using kneading movements, starting from my legs, working up to the back of my body, then the front for about 10 minutes.

After that, I was wrapped in transparent film and a heating blanket for 20 mins before I rinsed myself under the shower.

The result was awesome!  My skin felt so smooth and silky after the treatment that I couldn't help but feel the texture of my skin on my arms over and over again.

Thanks L'Espace for the wonderful body treatment!

My Waxing Experience with Vanity by Nailz Treats

Those who has been following my blog would probably have read that my gelish manicure and pedicure and eyelash extension was done at Vanity by Nailz Treats, located at Bedok Mall, #B1-56.  

http://www.elaineheng.blogspot.sg/2016/01/gelish-manicure-and-pedicure-at-vanity.html

http://www.elaineheng.blogspot.sg/2016/03/review-of-eyelash-extension-at-vanity.html

But do you know that Vanity by Nailz Treats also offer waxing services too?  I tried their waxing services and I was extremely impressed by it. 

This was the room which I was going to have my waxing done.  I had decided on Brazilian waxing, leg and underarm pit waxing to remove all the unwanted hair.  Very excited yet a bit worried about the pain level.  But who cares as long as I get to the hairless stage... lol. 

Being curious, I took a look at the wax with Vanity by Nailz Treats used and also ask the therapist why she had to use some many different coloured wax.  This was the information which I got:

• Vanity by Nailz Treats only use premium quality hard wax from France
• Long-Lasting hairlessness for up to 3 weeks with finer regrowth
• Leaving your skin soft and smooth

The green coloured wax is for removal of thick hair.

The pink coloured wax is for removal of in growth hair.

The white coloured wax is for removal of hair in sensitive area.

The colourful bottles behind contain antiseptic solution which is applied before waxing and soothing lotion which is applied after waxing. 

I felt so blessed to be well taken care of with the comprehensive range of products.

This poster on the wall caught my attention.  Didn't realise that you can have so many choices of shapes when it comes to waxing in that area... *ahem... hahaha!

ok... I still went for the full brazilian waxing, instead of being adventurous.

The wax got warm and fluid enough to start the process.  The therapist had to use individual stick that looked like ice cream stick to scoop a bit of the wax up.  She tested the wax on my skin to ensure that the temperature was ok for my skin, not too hot, before she started to do the waxing for my leg.

She had to look at the direction of the hair growth first, before applying the wax.  Waxing is not an easy procedure so it is best to visit a reputable salon to do this.  I strongly recommend Vanity by Nail Treats as the therapist is trained rigorously in the waxing procedure and had to go through many rounds of practising before she can work on real clients.

Was it painful?  To me, totally not at all.  Maybe I had a good threshold of pain but with the swift removal of unwanted hair by the therapist, it was a breezy thing. Pain Level: 0/5

 Take a look at my underarm hair.  I didn't have much hair there as I had went for IPL before.  But we all know that IPL might not be permanent hard removal method as the hair may grow back again due to hormonal changes.

My clean armpit after the therapist worked her magic.  Again, I didn't feel any pain.  Maybe it was because I didn't have much hair there but I knew I could trust the therapist to do a good job.  Pain Level: 0/5

As for the brazilian waxing procedure... sorry, no photos were taken.  

As for pain level, I would say 'yes', I did feel the tugging pain at the more sensitive inner areas.  The therapist chose different coloured wax for different areas by looking at the hair growth and thickness of the hair.

Pain Level: 2.7/5.

She mentioned to me that if I continue to do brazilian waxing on a regular basis, the roots of the hair become more fine and do not grow that deep, the pain level will decrease and after a while, I won't feel any more pain.

* That is true because on my second visit, I was surprised that I didn't feel that much pain anymore and I screamed lesser too... lol.

Again... let me repeat... Vanity by Nailz Treats is located at Bedok Mall, #B1-56, Tel: 6385 6255.

The salon has two more outlets, Nailz Treats at Bedok Mall #B1-03, Tel: 6844 9558 and Nailz Treats at ONE KM Mall #02-46, Tel: 6702 2202.

I am totally in love with the services which Vanity by Nailz Treats offer.  Can't wait to visit the salon again to enjoy the services like manicure, pedicure, lash extension and waxing.

Call Tel: 6385 6255 to make your appointment as they are pretty packed everyday.

Love,
