A Rich 60 Minutes for ¥17,850: Enjoy Skin Care for the Price of a Shirt

While the 3rd floor of Shin-Marunouchi Building is filled with women's cosmetic brands, I had a reservation and confidently entered "Espace Clarins." A beauty therapist greeted me with a smile.

First, a consultation. Be honest about your skin concerns (e.g., dryness, adult acne, blemishes, roughness, sun damage, sagging, wrinkles). They will also address concerns like "You look tired." Clarins is renowned for its long-established traditional methods, and they combine products tailored to your skin condition like a bespoke treatment.

For dry skin, they'll leave it plump and dewy; for skin concerned with sagging, they'll provide firmness and tighten it; and for oily skin, they'll adjust it to a clear, refreshed state, achieving your ideal skin condition.

The "Clarins Men Personal Blend Visage," developed for men, lasts 60 minutes. You'll be guided to a private room, asked to remove your shirt, and lie down on the treatment bed. They treat not only the face but also the shoulders, décolletage, and upper arms, explaining that "exposed areas are considered part of the face, and we care for the face, neck, and décolletage in accordance with lymphatic flow."

The treatment progresses from cleansing and exfoliation preparation to care using optimal essence-like supplements, skin balancing with a mask, and finally, the finishing touches. What's most impressive is the warmth of the beauty therapist's hands. When their hands are placed on your face, you feel a gentle warmth, and your hands and feet become toasty.

I used to wash my face and care for my skin after shaving somewhat haphazardly, but from the beauty therapist's hands, I learned that it's better to apply products slowly and allow them to deeply penetrate the skin. While contemplating this, I drifted off to sleep.

After the 60-minute session, looking at my face, I felt it had been lifted overall, and my skin tone seemed a shade brighter. This was likely due to improved blood circulation. Touching my face, I felt an increase in elasticity and a dewy texture.

When I asked about the finishing product, it was "Fermete Balm," a moisturizing lotion for aging care. It's said to have the effect of tightening skin concerned with wrinkles, sagging, and double chins, giving a sharper impression. You can purchase it on the spot, which is great for continuing the care at home.

This is a treatment I'd want to use after work, before an important presentation, or for a special ceremony. Try this care that will undoubtedly enhance your handsomeness, starting with just one session.
