How to step into your best self this year

In Singapore, many are familiar with its dynamic, fast-paced lifestyle. Amid the hustle and bustle, a growing number of individuals are turning to beauty treatments as a means of finding solace and revitalisation.

“We’ve observed an uptick in people investing in skincare not just to boost their outward appearance but also to cultivate positive emotions,” said Ms Chanel Tay, assistant training manager at Bioskin, an established beauty salon in Singapore. Customers, she noted, are no longer simply seeking physical rejuvenation; they’re also craving moments of tranquility within their hectic lives. 

“This shift reflects a growing recognition of the link between physical appearance and emotional health. As a result, there’s a rising demand for beauty treatments that foster emotional rejuvenation and support overall wellness,” Ms Tay said.

FEELING GOOD, FROM THE INSIDE OUT

While consumers are gradually embracing beauty treatments as a pathway to holistic well-being, Bioskin has been a champion of this approach for the past 28 years, guided by the ethos that “skin care is self-care”.

“Our philosophy is centred on results-driven, non-invasive treatments that prioritise the overall well-being of our customers,” said Ms Tay.

One example is its Master Contour Face Treatment, which combines Bioskin’s signature multi-lift face sculpting technique and gold collagen thread lift to lift cheeks, soften fine lines and refine the jawline.

“The treatment involves stimulating acupuncture points to promote blood circulation and cell regeneration,” Ms Tay explained. “Our technique targets four key facial acupressure points: The chengjiang point, dicang point, yingxiang point and zygomatic point. These points correspond to areas prone to sagging, notably around the cheeks, chin and sides of the nose.”

By stimulating these acupressure points through an invigorating massage, the skin’s natural healing mechanism is activated, said Ms Tay. This promotes an uplifting effect while facilitating lymphatic drainage to reduce facial puffiness and accentuate jawline definition.

Complementing this process is a needle-free gold collagen thread lift, which delivers a potent collagen serum deep into the skin. Ms Tay explained that this step encourages collagen remodelling to plump up the skin and refine its texture.  

Ms Tay added that the treatment can release tension and stagnant energy. “Think of the Master Contour Face Treatment as a rejuvenating gym or yoga session for your face,” she said. “It revitalises the skin, leaving it livelier, healthier and firmer.”

EASING THE PRESSURES OF THE DAILY GRIND

Similar to the Master Contour Face Treatment, Bioskin’s newly improved Herbal Scalp Treatment 2.0 makes use of targeted acupoint massages to improve scalp health and elevate overall well-being.

The treatment involves dispensing a herbal concoction in a waterfall-like motion, ensuring optimal absorption into the scalp. Key ingredients in the herbal blend include ai cao (Chinese mugwort) and zang hong hua (saffron), which work together to improve blood circulation and alleviate body aches, Ms Tay shared. During the 1.5-hour session, the therapist employs a meticulous combing technique aligned with the flow of the scalp’s meridian lines.

“The Herbal Scalp Treatment 2.0 not only eases physical discomfort but also promotes energy flow in the body,” said Ms Tay. “It is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing the consequences of prolonged sitting, excessive gadget use and being exposed to air-conditioning for long periods of time, which often lead to issues like poor blood circulation, headaches and stiff necks.”

For clients dealing with scalp issues or stress-related discomfort, Ms Tay recommends regular sessions – at least once every two weeks initially, then monthly. Even without scalp concerns, this pampering treatment serves as the perfect antidote after a taxing week.

While incorporating beauty treatments into your self-care routine offers numerous benefits, Ms Tay added that it is important to adjust your lifestyle, too. This involves taking steps to minimise stress and adopt healthy habits, such as mindful eating and regular exercise.

Said Ms Tay: “By prioritising self-care, you are taking a proactive step towards holistic wellness.”
