Sauna, Scrub, Lulur and Facial

What it is ?

Sauna
You start with a shower, then a 15-20 minute in their mud-lined underground sauna with your face and hair covered by a wet towel and shower cap.

Scrub
Then, its time for scrub, one goes and lies on a tarpaulin-lined massage table in birthday suit and the massaeur takes a scrub (it is a square piece of scrub cloth similar to the body shop scrub gloves) and puts a little soap on it and starting scrubbing from the feet up and she scrubs all over and makes you lie on – front, back, side and every nook and cranny of the body is not spared from the scotchbrite-like scrubbing. It reminds me of those old movies where naughty kids are scrubbed clean especially behiend the ears. This scrubbing is very clinical and at times you feel you may be a vetenary hospital or a laboratory. But Rolls and rolls of black/gray dirt or dead skin cells, newly exfoliated and you feel clean and shiny. The places on the body which always accumulate the most dead skin cells are the upper back, the arms, and the chest. The girl keeps pouring warm water to wash off the dirt and continue with scrubbing.

Lulur
After the scrubbing, comes a massage with a mixture of one bottle of fresh milk and a scrub paste which is called lulur. The whole process takes a little less than 2 hours and when its done, the skin is so smooth , soft and shiny.

Facial

The above treatment you can combine it with a facial or stop after Lulur. But I usually take the complete package once a month with Vitamin C facial.

This is the best facial I have experienced till date. It is more than a facial, it’s a facial cum massage combined in one. While one facial girl works on a regimen of cleansing, massaging and toning the face, another massage girl massages your legs and arms and then the whole back. Whole treatment lasts about 2 hours.

Where ?

Korean Spa ( 021 520 4428) is my favourate place which offers the above package and I am a member there. All this comes for a very reasonable amount of 180,000 Rupiah (20 USD) + Tips.

Personal Rating

I have experimented in some other places, which always disappoint in comparison. So this place is sealed for Facial and the Scrub package. After all you cannot take chances with your face.
