Trimmings Salon & Spa

The treatment: Skin Balancing & Hydration Facial

With its beautiful setting in a renovated blackand-white, Trimmings is always a calming spot that’s ideal for some relaxing “me-time”.

What I loved especially about this 75-minute facial were the firm massage and the thorough extraction – plus the fact that even for the next two days I could really feel my skin was different and improved.

Elaine offered me a few options as part of the facial, like dermabrasion versus an AHA fruit peel; I chose the latter. She is very thorough with softening the skin using an Oxygen 2% Mask and steam before the extractions; it makes the extraction process much easier. There’s also an eye, neck and décolletage treatment included, and a double multivitamin mask – plus a little “glider” machine that feels a little strange but helps the hyaluronic acid and V-LIFT active boosters penetrate your skin.

As an intensive repair facial, this treatment focuses on building stronger and healthier skin by restructuring the basal layer for denser collagen formation; it does this using nourishing ingredients like oxygen, hyaluronic acid and vitamins. With the amazing massage and the little machine, you do feel like you’re getting the product more than skin deep.

Trimmings is also the flagship store for Karin Herzog, stocking a wide range of the brand’s skincare products. They’re all parabenfree, cruelty-free and hypoallergenic – I had the anti-ageing range – and they smell and feel so good! Shop at the salon or at trimmings.com.sg/karin-herzog.
