Aesthetic The G in Seoul

One good thing about working in a travel agency is that there will always be new freebies depending on the promotions at any time. This time my co-worker and I got the opportunity to try out the Asethetic The G in Seoul for free. I have been in Seoul for a few months but this was my first time going to asethetic shop. I think it is important for women to go for aesthetics once a month as nowadays women are too busy to take care of their skin (being a mother, a worker and a housewife), they deserve to be pampered and the environment is changing too fast and our skin couldn't cope with it.

Aesthetic The G was set up in 2008 and they focus on providing the best facial and body care treatment for their customers. The products they used are from Switzerland, Italy, France and some are locally researched and produced. Appointments have to be made and they don't accept walk-ins. Facials cost between 49,000 won to 99,000 won and body care cost between 59,000won to 180,000won. Body care include treatments for Basic Body, The G Lymph, Special Body and Effective Care while the facials include treatments for The G Hydration Care, The G Trouble Care, The G Whitening Care, The G Tightening Care, Exfoliating, The G Sensitive Care and The G Detox.

When we reached The G, the aesthetician chatted with us regarding the facial treatment we could like to do, checked our skin condition and then recommended the treatment she thought was suitable. My friend in the pictures was recommended by the aesthetician to go for the Brightening Facial in the whitening series and I was recommended to go for the Aqua Facial in the Hydration Care. Upon that, lockers and robes were provided for our personal belongings and warm water with sea salt was given for us to relax our feet.

Next we laid on the bed and they massaged our backs using Lavender oil which emits a flowery smell. My friend did the Brightening Facial and I was given the Aqua Facial treatment. My friend's face is darker than mine and she wanted to go for the whitening series, as for me, my face was dry and the aesthetician mentioned that dry skin usually emits more oil which is frustrating in the summer and hydration is needed.

At first they removed our make-up and cleansed our faces. After that deep cleansing mask was used to clean up our pores and was removed 5 mins later. Scrub was put on our faces next and while waiting, they massaged our shoulder, head and hands. After that, they gently massaged our faces, cleansed and then lotion was put on our faces and again gentle massage again. After that warm mask was used on my face while hot/cold stone scrub was used on my friend's face for about 20 mins. Leg massage was given, using Lavender oil while we were waiting and at this point, I was sleeping. Finally after the leg massage, they removed the masks and then put on cold mask on my face for hydration and a pink brightening mask was put on my friend's face for another 20 mins.



I have done facials several times and I think The G is not that bad for the service and products that were used. It is recommended to go every week but I think maybe once a month, it is worth to pamper myself.
