AYURVEDIC ANGEL
Bindu comes from Kerala, India, and she delivers an
exquisitely enjoyable and deeply therapeutic herbal
oil-based massage that blew our socks off. We
tried the Abhyangam ($140 for 60 minutes), which
relieves muscle and joint aches, calms the nerves
and regulates the circulatory system. It’s just one of
the signature Ayurvedic treatments at the new St.
Gregory Spa at the ParkRoyal, Beach Road, which
also offers traditional Chinese therapies as well as a
full range of classic face and body treatments using
products from Elemis, a top-notch British spa and
beauty brand. 7500 Beach Road.
The Dermatology Practice has introduced a new
ten-minute procedure to treat the delicate, thin skin
around the eyes. Its new eye treatment, which uses
Restylane Vital and Vital Light fillers, works to replenish
hyaluronic acid in the skin, improving its condition,
banishing fine lines and smoothing eyelids. Results can
be seen immediately and can reportedly last for up to
six months. #07/60-62 Mount Elizabeth Novena

ANIMAL RIGHTS
MILESTONE
Known for its long-standing campaign
against testing cosmetic products on
animals, The Body Shop has reason to
celebrate this month as Chinese authorities
are considering an end to mandatory animal
testing on cosmetics. As the first beauty
company to take action in this area in 1989,
these reports mark a historic milestone for
the company. All products from The Body
Shop are vegetarian and none are tested on
animals.
IN THE CLEAR
The new Trouble Relief line from
Korean beauty brand Laneige
has been specially formulated
to treat acne-prone skin. Its key
active ingredient, hinoki cypress
polysaccharide extract, reduces the
growth of acne-causing bacteria
and helps to combat
inflammation to soothe
irritation, resulting in
clearer, smoother skin.
Available at all Laneige
boutiques and beauty
counters.
