Facial Treatment at Martha Tilaar Spa

Alas I found a good spa in Jakarta that offers a pleasant yet more 'clinical' facial treatment. It means the treatment consist of cleansing, steaming, extraction, exfoliating, mask/serum according to skin type and needs. And yes I am going to share this with you.

I realised that the facial treatment offered in most spas here are more for relaxation rather than functional- the procedures usually only consist of cleansing, exfoliating and a mask. However what I really wanted is to get my face really purged off of all possible sebums, blackheads, whiteheads, etc etc..you get the picture. 

So if you are anything like me, you would really appreciate the facial treatments offered here at Martha Tilaar where their own housebrand facial products are used. You will get your pores thoroughly cleared and your skin will thank you for it.

I understand how most women are very skeptical about trying facial products as well as treatments, after all it's our face right..can't conceal or hide if shit happens. Hence I've only decided to write this post after trying the facial treatments at Martha Tilaar twice. 

The first treatment I tried was the Bio White and Clear (~400,000rp) which was supposedly to be one of the more comprehensive treatment. The therapist began with the usual cleansing, then steaming of the face with mist (to open up the pores) before beginning with the extraction. After the extraction, she sterilised and sanitised my face with some equipment (very commonly used in Singapore so I was at ease). Exfoliation follows before she used another machine to massage a serum into my face ( again commonly found in Singapore but not in Jakarta). The therapist then continued with a facial massage manually before she applied the mask for me. 

There was no break outs after the first time, therefore I was delighted to return for subsequent treatment. By the way, I have sensitive/dry skin. 

The second treatment I tried was the Bio Classic (~200,000rp) treatment which was one of the most basic treatment. The procedures were similar to the first, just lacking of the additional serum and the product used are less hydrating than the one used in my first treatment. However this treatment will be safe for mothers-to-be. 

Treatment prices are also very reasonable for the ambience and technology the spa offers- starting from 200,000rp (bout 20usd) and most expensive treatment is like 450,000rp (bout 45usd). It is really cheap as compared to Singapore.  Frankly I am amazed how the spas are able to make money in Jakarta, given that a full serviced facial treatment for 90minutes cost the same as my manicure here. It is definitely better value than the manicure services...when manicurist here can't even file my nails square or even!

Do let me know if you know of any other good facial treatments!

 I found another place- Miracle Aesthetic Clinic which offers very good facial/skin treatments (With extractions.) Read about it here.

Manicure/Pedicure In Jakarta and Where to Go

I don't know if I am being overly critical or just plain fussy but I find that manicure and pedicure services in Jakarta are not up to par as compared to the other Asian cities like Bangkok, HongKong, and even Singapore! And by all means, the services aren't cheap as compared to overall standard of living locally. To have manicure/pedicure at somewhat a decent place with clean tools usually starts at 220,000 idr (22usd)...and you are not guaranteed OPI or internationally known brands. Nail salons at shopping malls will set you back about 450,000idr (45usd/52sgd)- funny how manicure in Jakarta cost the same in Singapore. Whoever said Jakarta is cheap?! Once, I accompanied my friend to a salon at Kemang where she wanted to have a hairwash and blowdry and I decided to have a manicure/pedicure there while waiting for her. The girl/manicurist came with a large plastic container (like the ones you store miscellaneous stuff in the wardrobe/storeroom) and inside it, the tools and ...

Prenatal Massage at Mom N Jo

The joys of pregnancy does not just stop at morning sickness. 2nd trimester arrives and say hello to Mr Backache! Oh you didn't experience either morning sickness nor backaches? Go away! You shouldn't even be reading this post..Just kidding! On a more serious note, most pregnant women like myself will start to feel aches around the body once 2nd trimester hits. The increased weight from the belly adds more pressure to our backs as well as legs, hence the aches begin. And for me, the need to gag into the toilet bowl at least twice a day causes my neck and shoulders to ache too. Yes I know, I feel like I've aged fifty years being pregnant. However as much as we need the comforts of a massage, one can't just step into any massage place now. Firstly we can't lie face down anymore...duh! Hence we need massages that are tailored for us while we lie sideways which means options are kind of limited. I decided to check with my good friend once again, Mr Google and ta...

Kado- Yakitori Restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza Jakarta

I had a huge Yakitori craving last week, and my friends suggested me to check out Kado at Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza. Kado is apparently quite very famous for Yakitori in Jakarta and very popular with the Japanese travellers and expats. Hubby G and I had already tried couple of Yakitori places in Jakarta however we only found them pretty average; we certainly hoped Kado would be ' the Yakitori place' to go to. Tucked at a corner of the basement of Intercontinental Hotel Midplaza. Located at the basement of Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza, Kado wasn't what I had expected of a restaurant in a hotel. It looks like a family-run Japanese eatery(though belonging a chain of restaurants), unassuming and easily missed- definitely not your usual high end intimidating hotel restaurants. This place is good for anyone who just want to come casually dressed and enjoy an easy evening with family and friends. The manager/chef is a very friendly Japanese lady and almost a...
