Cate Blanchett’s dewy skin is enough to make anyone want to visit
premium Japanese brand SK-II – the brand Cate champions – for
a bit of facial love. And Level Seven at Tangs is a self-indulgent
floor entirely devoted to beauty, boasting six beauty brands with
therapists and individual treatment capsules (rather than rooms).
After a skin exam to measure the five SK-II skin dimensions,
the therapist begins the process of rectifying your problems. After
double-cleansing, toning, moisturising and steaming, she performs
a quick extraction. Best to get the uncomfortable bit out of the way
before the gloriousmain event: a shoulder, neck and facemassage.
Once you’re lying down again, the therapist will knead away
any problem knots and relieve any sore spots – it’s bliss. A cold,
sheet-like mask is then applied over the entire face, followed by
a hot and cold massager to encourage maximum penetration of
the product into the skin.
Next, a cold blast of air is applied to close and calm the open
pores. A role call of whitening products is applied after the
mask, finishing with a sunblock, and leaving skin that on close
examination you’ll find is definitely brighter.
KEY BENEFITS:
• Evens out skin tone and lightens dark spots
• Promotes circulation and enhances radiance

The Park Indulgence treatment is indeed indulgent, involving
two hours of body polish, massage and a back masque in the
comfort of a VIP treatment room at the Grand Park City Hall Hotel.
Bearing fragrant ginger tea, your therapist will meet you in the
guest lounge to give a brief rundown of the treatments, and you’ll
be asked to fill out a questionnaire to determine the types of oils
and massage technique you’d like to be used.
The pampering session begins with a beady exfoliation
scrub to promote circulation. Steaming towels are then
used to remove the scrub, providing a nice prelude to
the next treat, the massage. The head-to-toe rubdown
alleviates not only pent-up physiological tension, but is
also a great mental stress-reliever.
Next up is the self-heating back masque, which serves to
detox the body. After a few minutes to yourself, the chime
of a Tibetan bell signals the end to the treatment.
KEY BENEFITS:
• Lavender aromatherapy paired with moderate
pressure massage calms the senses
• Each of the five treatment rooms feels intimate, so you
never feel you’re intruding on someone else’s spa day
• You can opt to upgrade to the Park Indulgence
Treatment’s Gold Lava Shell Massage and Gold
Mineral Exfoliation, which incorporates the ion-reducing
benefits of gold to stimulate circulation, slow down
collagen depletion and stimulate skin repair
