Enjoy Japan's Celebrity Style Facial at Menard Plaza Damas

Japan beauty has been under my radar since my teenage years. I'm astonished by the looks of Japanese girls, how glowy and vibrant they look yet each possessed their own distinguishable uniqueness. Hence I'm a big fan of Japan-made cosmetic products and beauty regimes.

But Menard facial salon located at Plaza Damas escaped from my watch list. I didn't know this established facial salon is in Malaysia until recently, but apparently they have been around for many years in Malaysia! Oh my what did I missed? 

If you're familiar with Japanese drama, I bet you've noticed Menard as one of those major sponsors before. In fact, Japan's top actress Kyoko Fukada is one of Menard's ambassador for many years. When I read her news I was wondering what she did to keep her looks so in such great shape, so youthful looking and glowy! I think I found the answer to my question. 

Menard Plaza Damas is situated in the neighbourhood of Sri Hartamas with ample of parking and eateries. Just one floor up from Starbucks at Hartamas Shopping Centre, you can find Menard Plaza Damas just slightly on the left hand side ( same row as Artistic Lighting Gallery).

May, my beautician of the day is the second generation that runs Menard Plaza Damas. Her mother is the first generation that operates the very same facial salon and gosh her mother looks so stunningly youthful from the photos. I was welcome with cheerful smile and a cup of warm tea, and introduced to Menard's premium skincare line - Embellir. 

Patented and uses 7 nobel prize winning process (Ceramides - Chemistry, Talomers - Medicine, Cell Purification - Chemistry, Methodology of Beauty Expression - Physiology, Gene Restoration - Chemistry, Gene Alterations - Medicine, Gene Copying - Chemistry ), Menard's Embellir skincare line is more than luxury. It's attain beauty in skincare routine that can sustain for a long period. Contains red and black reishi 靈芝 mushrooms alongside with oriental fragrances and herbs like olibanum, myrrh and rose, Embellir products can protects skin from ageing at the same time restores skin's back to its youthful appearances. 

Its new Reishi SX extract encapsulated the concentrated extract of the reishi mushrooms, together with the new DDS system (drug-delivery system) and skin emulsion technology, these products can easily penetrates into deeper skin layers and let its active ingredients work its magic.

After a demo of the power duo on my hand, I was then invited to experience Menard Plaza Damas's Embellir Standard Course Treatment (RM380), a 50 mins treatment that uses Embellir's products paired with holistic rituals, manual techniques as well as beauty gadgetry.

This facial treatment includes these:

1. Cleansing: deep cleansing to remove impurities from pores
2. Warming: increase blood circulations and enables absorptions of treatments
3. Facial & Décolleté Massage ( my favourite!): lymphatic drainage massage to accelerate skin's metabolism
4. Vibration: stimulate lymph movements and helps discards accumulated lymph fluid

6. Lotion pack: intensive moisture replenishment using Embellir's Liquid lotion
7. Soothing: soothe and tighten skin with Beauness
