A few months ago, I went for a secret facial treatment by Clarins at Clarins Skin Spa KLCC. The mission? The try out their upcoming NEW Tri-Active Facial Treatments. Now, if you have been reading my blog since the beginning, you will know that I do not go for any facial except for Clarins. Clarins facial treatment focuses on massage techniques. There are no extraction and no machines. The facial from the beginning to the end are all using hand massage techniques. Something which I am familiar and used to by now.

While I was there waiting for the rest of the media friends to arrive, I cannot help but to ask Clarins PR & Communications Manager on the new Tri-Active Facial Treatments comparing to the existing treatments. I was told that they now uses all PRO products, with a few newly added skin problem targeted PRO products, and the formulation are now enhanced for quicker, immediate effects. And more massage techniques are included as well. My curiosity spikes up once again and asked “isn’t Clarins facial treatments are fully on massages? How much more massages can you put in?”. I was told it will be MORE and also the new facial treatments will focus more on the body massage as well. Another difference will be the treatment time. Previously it is 60 minutes, now it is 75 minutes due to the added massages. Now, that is really MORE

I have done a Clarins Skin Spa and Facial Treatment review before at this link, whereas I did a quick tour of the treatment room as well. But if you are lazy to click and read, here you go. A glance of Clarins Skin Spa treatment room . I always love Clarins treatment room. So relaxing.

The uniqueness of Clarins facial treatments is the combination of the art of touch, science and senses. Clarins Treatments are 100% manual using hands with high-performing formulas and a unique personalised experience every time. Now, Clarins has introduced eight (8) new personalised Clarins Tri-Active Facials. These new Tri-Active facial, are more effective and relaxing, providing an immediate beauty and a total well-being results not just for the face but body and mind as well.

In each of the new Tri-Active face treatments, you will experience a new and unique massage that sculpts the contours of the face to lift, reshape, firm and relax to deliver visible rejuvenating results. This new massage is used in every Tri-Active Face treatments. A selection of three (3) anti-ageing cocktails with high-performance products adapted to suit skin’s needs. The touch of the Beauty Therapist is precise and her movements are customized adapting the weight, pace and type of pressure of her hand. Relaxed muscles are stimulated and a series of alternating massage, drainage and pressure movements are carried out. The face is reshaped under her fingers. The skin receives exactly what it needs and precisely where it needs it.

Key Facial Steps

A beauty consultation is carried out to analyse the skin and enables the Beauty Therapist to precisely assess the skin’s needs and create a personalised beauty solution. The new Tri-Active Facials involve 6 steps, to treat the face and eyes, with a special focus on the neck, décolleté and hands.

(1) Sensorial awakening

A moment of letting go and instant relaxation, using a comforting relaxing technique combined with Aromatherapy.

Gently purify the skin, without irritating it or stretching tissues.

(3) Double exfoliation

The Clarins +
Exfoliation using brushes for even more softness, freshness and well-being. The skin is perfectly prepared for the benefits of the plant extracts.

Sculpts the contours of the face.
> A firming, reshaping, relaxing anti-ageing action.

The Treatment is customized according to the skin’s needs. (A wide variety of textures for an ultra-relaxing sensorial experience.)

(6) A natural-look beauty makeover

Instant radiance, a smooth complexion and subtly enhanced eyes and lips.

I was nervous for the facial when I found out more massage techniques will be introduced especially to the body wellness. I am someone who is very afraid of ticklish feeling so yes, I was worried. It turns out to be one of the best facial I have had from Clarins. I went with a migrain and a stiff shoulder. Clarins Tri-Active Facial turns out to be perfect for me. I came out from the treatment room feeling more relax, more rejuvenation, fresh, extremely happy, no more migrain, and no more stiff shoulder. I have always heard about how people fell asleep during facial and I am someone who is very curious (and busy body) on what the Beauty Therapist will do next so I never fell asleep before. That day, I fell asleep and had a dream. It was so weird and for the first time, I was half awake. The other half of me wanted to know about the new massage techniques! And I find that the new PRO products are less stickier and heavy on the skin comparing to before.

The post Clarins NEW Tri-Active Facial Treatments: Providing an immediate beauty and a total well-being results for the face, body, and mind appeared first on Street Love. by Fiona

Last weekend I made my way to Clarins Skin Spa Parkson Pavilion to have my complimentary facial and eye treatment. This is my first time stepping in to the new Skin Spa ever since it was launched.

As soon as I reached the waiting area, I was fascinated with the comfortable setting. Then I was greeted by the friendly Beautician; Sok Hung. Sok Hung handed me a form to fill in as a part of their procedure before I was brought in to the treatment room.

The treatment room is slightly bigger than the one I visited before at Jusco Mid Valley. I like what Clarins did with the ceiling. The blue and white sky motives would be able to calm every one who is going for facial treatment at Clarins Skin Spa. I know it did calmed me down everytime I lied down underneath it.

Every setting is at it’s perfect state. The room is calming with soothing essential oil burning at the corner. The overall setup is kept at minimal and simple.

I like seeing yellow bottles of Body Treatment Oil as decoration around the room. It’s the golden yellow color that seems to attract me.

Treatment bed is also kept neat with simple decoration to spice up the overall look of the room. I saw how neatly the towels are rolled up. I was told everything need to be perfect.

There’s a cupboard for me to put my belonging. I was provided a half body robe to change into and extra hanger for me to hang my clothes. One thing I notice that’s missing is the comb. I remembered seeing a comb in the cupboard back at Jusco Mid Valley but I couldn’t see it at Pavilion Skin Spa. It doesn’t matter to me as I prefer to use my own comb :). There’s also a drawer at the bottom but I didn’t check out what is it as I prefer not to simply check things out without permission. So I’ll leave the drawer alone ya.

The choice of treatment I choose is The Lifting Face Shaper which costs RM248 and treatment time is 60 minutes. The Lifting Face Shaper is a face shaping treatment to refine, enhance and rejuvenate facial contours that promises to deliver younger-looking, brighter and more luminous features. This is the first time I’ve tried this treatment and I must say I love it very much! Although it’s stated as “facial treatment”, I like how the Beautician also massages my hands and foot as well as a super duper relaxing shoulder and neck massage although I’m not a person who like massages. Sok Hung thought I was in pain when she notice that my neck and shoulder stiffen during the massage. But in fact I was trying so hard not to laugh! Massages is always ticklish to me for some reason. Clarins is generous with the amount of product used on my face which I appreciate.

Another reason why I prefer Clarins facial treatment than other salon is that Clarins doesn’t do extraction and all treatment is done with hand and not machine. I prefer this type of facial as it doesn’t stress up my skin in long run.

After my facial treatment ended I changed back to my clothes and I went out to the lounge area.

At the lounge area I was served with a cup of freshly brewed tea while relaxing for a while before leaving.

I couldn’t stop myself from checking out the corner where the tea is brewed. Love that clear tea pot!

For customers who wanted to put on some makeup before stepping out of the Skin Spa, there’s a corner with full Clarins makeup range that you can use. How thoughtful :). I choose not to put on any makeup and went home with freshly done facial bare face.

I know you’re wondering what’s so special about Clarins facial treatment comparing with normal salon. Did I see immediate result? Well, yes I did! Look at how bright my complexion is after the treatment. My jaw felt firmer, face is more bouncier and hydrated. My eyes is brighter and “awake”. The best part is the migrain and stiff shoulder that I was having for the past few days is gone thanks to the shoulder and neck massage. That’s because unlike other salon that uses the same normal retail product for their facial, Clarins only uses CLARINSPRO Products which is more rich and intense than their normal retail product combined with Clarins Touch Massage Method. That explains the immediate result. Imagine if you went for their facial treatment in long run. I bet the result is phenomenal.

I was a fresher and happier girl when I walked out from Clarins Skin Spa Pavilion. I hope you do too when you visit Clarins Skin Spa! Try it to believe it. You’d fall in love with what they can offer.
