Some of you may be aware that SPF can cause our skin to age and hours in air-conditioned environment can leave our skin dry. And it takes more than our daily facial regime & products to keep our skin hydrated and pimple-free. Woe to us cubicle rats who are trapped in the air-conditioned office all day long.
To find the remedy to youthful skin, we decided to visit MENTSU, the Japanese- inspired beauty concept store, which was recently opened officially at Tampines 1.
- Located on Level 5 at Tampines 1, Mentsu has an interesting conveyer belt that showcases not sushi, but different kinds of Japan-imported supplements made of all natural ingredients. Cool huh?
What we love about Mentsu is that we need not sign up for treatment packages that could cost hundreds – something which most beauty salons do (yeah, we dread all the sales talks). This concept is great for those do not wish to be committed upfront with pre-paid packages. Cheers to Mentsu for the flexibility of up-keeping beauty regimes with no strings attached!
We also like the concept of choosing beauty products on an a-la-carte basis. It is a pretty good idea as we can choose products suitable for our skin type than to use generic ones. With an affordable treatment fee, the trained therapist will administer our selected beauty products in their cozy treatment application lounge.
- We are impressed with the variety of beauty products at affordable prices. Cleanser cost only $3 per pack, Facial Scrub at $3 per pack, Toner at $2, the Peel Off mask pack cost $10 only! WOO!!!
- Facial scrub are available in interesting flavours. Yum! We wish we can eat them!
- Milk Cleansers are also retailing at $42 per 500ml bottle. The cleansers have a nice refreshing smell. We love their light and smooth texture when applied on our skin.
- Ampoule has anti-ageing benefits. Priced between $11 and $16 per bottle, it can help to reduce wrinkles and freckles formation.
- Check out their wide range of ampoules! Some of the ampoules actually have slimming effects and they cost around $19-$21 per bottle. Affordable!
- Mentsu also has a wide range of slimming beauty products. Check out the slimming body scrubs – Coffee, Ginger, Seaweed and Chocolate flavours! Sounds too yummy to us now!
- Feeling stressed or having insomnia? Maybe you should try out Mentsu’s full body massages service at $38 only and you can pick your body massage oil according to your needs.
- What’s more, they have twin treatment rooms where couples and buddies can do their facial or massage treatment together!
Sounds deliciously rejuvenating? We are sure you will be perked up after the treatment!
Love, Tampines 1
Great! I can finally find some info on this Mentsu concept. Have been seeing it in Tampines 1 but dare not walk in to try as I’ve a sales-talk phobia. Good to know I need not hear from irritating sales talk while lying on the bed
Hahahaha… that’s our exact sentiment too!
I feel like trying the Ginger Scrub!
HI Zen, We were told that the Ginger Scrub helps remove water retention in stubborn body areas!
HEY! How much does the facial cost?
Hi there! Each facial treatment cost ranges from $40 – $75, depending on what kind of products you would like to use. Their professional therapist would be able to recommend you that type of treatment you require.
