This intensive treatment at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental’s spa is ideal for hardworking mothers whose skin deserves a much-needed break. The one-hour facial delivers a potent dose of oxygen — one that can be immediately felt in the pores — and brings forth a rejuvenated glow. The technician is skilled in adding extra touches with Natura Bissé products that will enhance results, from a purifying scrub to a serum massage. 

To further lock in the elixirs used in the treatment, the spa’s state-of-the-art facilities —ranging from a Hamam to crystal steam room — can be used afterwards to guarantee maximum absorption. 

The Oxygen Awakening Facial is priced at HK$1,500 Monday to Thursday and HK$1,650 Friday to Sunday.

Instant Light Complexion Facial at The Peninsula Spa

This treatment takes inspiration from Cleopatra’s fabled beauty routine, in which she wore a gold mask to bed every night. Featuring a 24-carat gold chain mask and luxurious skincare products from Margy’s Monte Carlo, the treatment effectively delays collagen depletion and the elastin breakdown. The metallic chains provide a medium for electro-acoustic signals and ion conductivity, both of which stimulates cellular growth of the skin and helps turn back the clock. 

The 90-minute Instant Light Complexion Facial is priced at HK$3,900.
