We may be nearing the tail end of summer (sobs) but as city dwellers well know, the scorching heat waves, humidity and urban pollutants aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Combine that with a glorious summer spent island-hopping, poolside sunbathing, conquering adventurous treks and sipping a few too many rosés—and you may have noticed that your skin has taken quite a beating over the past few weeks.

Fret not—we have scoured the city to find some of the most revitalising facials to nourish your skin back into luminous shape. Treat yourself to these luxuries—from a vitamin-A programme to a biorhythm treatment—before soaking up the last rays of the season.

Active Vitamin Therapy Facial at The Mandarin Spa

From discolouration to dehydration, it’s no secret that sun overexposure takes a toll on the skin. The answer? Vitamin A, according to Dr Des Fernandes, founder of South African skincare brand Environ. “Aging skin is a direct result of sun-induced vitamin A deficiency. Correct the deficiency and you’ll have more radiant skin.”

Available at The Mandarin Spa, the Active Vitamin Therapy uses the non-evasive DF II machine, designed to stimulate collagen and elastin, pigmentation production, blood flow and proper oxygenation, to maximize the penetration of the most active forms of Vitamin A, C,  antioxidants and peptides from Environ’s serums into the deeper layer of the skin. Say hello to youthful, restored skin.
