Living in a polluted city can wreak havoc on one’s skin – that’s why facials were invented to wash away all the grime and dirt of daily life. Though Candy Girl’s name implies – nay even batters home – a definitive target market, it provides both the discerning lady and metro male with a full range of imported premium Dermalogica skincare products via its one-hour classic facial treatment (RMB250).

This top-quality indulgence includes a deep cleansing, massage and masque. Suitable for all skin types, it gives your visage the gentle spanking of attention it so richly deserves. The journey begins with a refreshing cleanse lasting five minutes – or longer, depending on the state of your skin – with warm steam to open the pores.

After those unsightly blackheads have been taken care of, it’s time for the facial massage. To warm up, the therapist treats the skin around eyes with neroli and petitgrain essential oil, before proceeding to the cheeks and forehead. By this time, the face elicits a warm and rosy glow. Accompanied by soft music, it’s also the perfect time for a power nap.

The cleanse and massage lead into the main event: the masque. Clientele can choose from the ultra-calming relief masque for sensitive skin types, the skin-hydrating masque for those in the shriveled-prune dermatological demographic or the multivitamin power recovery masque for mature skin kissed roughly by the ravages of time. Before making your choice, the beauty therapist will, naturally, proffer her advice.

Providing the dual action of moisturizing and decongesting, the masque stimulates and enhances the action of the products applied during the treatment, leaving skin that’s soft, smooth and revitalized.

For the ladies and the more hirsute male mammal, Candy Girl also provides waxing services (RMB100-300) using imported wax from Brazil – just the ticket for an authentic Brazilian.
