8 Hong Kong spas where the facials, massages and multi-treatment journeys will help you reboot
What better way to rescue tired, dehydrated skin that is showing a few more lines than you’d like
It’s the end of the year – treat yourself or a loved one to a spa experience that will simultaneously de-stress, de-wrinkle and recharge, turning back the last 11 months or so of – well – life.
Facials are popular at this time of year. What better way to rescue tired, dehydrated skin that is showing a few more lines than you’d like? Alternatively, book a massage to iron out those neck and shoulder knots, thanks to non-stop computer and phone use. Or dive into multi-treatment journeys that completely reboot physically, mentally and emotionally. After all, you deserve it.
1. The Mandarin Spa, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

Sonophoresis and Iontophoresis infuse the serum’s ingredients into the skin (up to 40 times more effectively than massage), resulting in the ultimate in skin nourishment and visible vitality. The accompanying Christmas Tea journey starts with anti-inflammatory frankincense tea pre-treatment, antioxidant-rich turmeric tea post-treatment, and immune-boosting myrrh tea as you check out – along with mini-gifts of the Environ Dynamic Duo Discovery and Body Oil.
