Chuan Spa at the Langham,
Southbank, Melbourne
If you’re really looking to up the
ante of your skin regimen, this ultra-
smoothing facial does the trick. Active
ingredients glycolic, lactic and salicylic
acids make up the peel, but the real
show-stopper is the face massage and
the skin-renewing mask. A course of
six facials delivers the best results.

(read: brighter skin). Thanks to the
ultra-tranquil setting and spectacular

to recharge the senses, too. Efficient.
