Hello Loves! Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited down to the gorgeous Le Queenz to experience their Basic Maintaining Facial (60 mins). I was so anxious and nervous about going there because it was my first time. So yeah, I went and tried it out.
Before I proceed with my facial experience, I need to share 5 things you should know about Le Queenz.
- Le Queenz only uses Germany's No.1 Professional Skincare, Babor, to bring you powerful and visible results with their professional treatments.
For your information, Babor is extensively used in 90 countries worldwide and has been in the market for more than half a century. It is also the brand that spas in 6 Star Hotel (Ritz Carlton Singapore & USA) and 7 Star Hotel (St Regis Dubai) uses.
- No hard-selling or no additional top up amount for their treaments. For the amount you pay, it is an all-inclusive treatment. It includes all the facial steps such as deep cleansing, toning, extraction, face massage, mask and ampoule (for ampoules a lot of other salons require top-up additional amount for it but their facial is all-inclusive)
- Le Queenz is all about relaxation, pampering and privacy. Each person gets a private room for the treatment.
- Customization. Each of their beautician are trained at least 10 years in the industry. The beauticians will customize accordingly to your skin concerns and needs on that day of treatment.
- Central Location: is conveniently situated in Tanjong Pagar (5 mins walk from MRT). Opposite Amara Hotel.
Alright now, let's talk about my facial experience at Le Queenz.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Upon arrival, I was greeted by my beautician promptly, invited me to sit and welcomed me with a cup of hot tea. I felt so comfortable and happy. She then gave me a form to fill out my particulars and skin concerns.
After filling out the form, I was led into the treatment room, she gave me a robe to change into and invited me to lie on the facial bed. The treatment room was clean and neat, equipped with a comfortable bed, soft lighting and soothing music. The cosy environment made me feel so calm and comfortable.
THE FACIAL SESSION
Le Queenz's 60 minutes Basic Maintaining Facial Treatment
Before we began, my beautician scrutinized my skin under a facial examination lamp and identified my problem areas and skin type. She identified my skin to be combination skin. Hmm.... in my entire life, I thought I had oily skin because I never experienced any dryness or tightness. I told her that I thought my skin was oily, and she explained to me that my skin was over-producing oil due to dehydration, to compensate the lack of moisture in my skin. She told me I had combination skin because she spotted patches of dryness in some areas and oily in others.
Immediately after our discussion, my beautician customized my facial treatment to suit my skin type and needs. Yeap, I don't have to pick a treatment off a menu myself. All I had to do was lie down and relax.

The facial started by removing my makeup thoroughly with Babor's Mild Cleanser Milk. Next, she gently massaged Babor's Milk Cleanser Foam onto my face. After a few minutes of massage, she removed the cleanser with warm water and patted my skin dry. After that, she applied Babor's Enzyme Peeling all over my face and left on for a few minutes. The Enzyme Peeling was awesome! It helped to break down the dead skin cells to get the blackheads/whiteheads out easily.
A few minutes later, she removed the mask and came the real fun, extraction time! My beautician used skin scrubber to remove blackheads/whiteheads and dead skin cells. She removed the gunks under my skin and showed them to me. See image below. Ewwwww......
After deep cleansing and extraction, she used *Babor's Hydration Ampoule on my skin and then proceeded to apply *Babor's Comfort Mask and Lactic Mask. After a few minutes, she removed the masks and then finished off with toner, moisturiser and sunscreen.
BENEFITS OF THE PRODUCTS USED
My facialist used top quality, Babor products in my facial treatment. So let me share with you the benefits of some products used during my facial treatment.
*Babor's Hydration Ampoule / Hydration Fluid
Benefits of Hydration Fluid
- Replenish the skin with the moisture it needs.
- Re-balance moisture content with hyaluronic acid.
- For plumped up and fresh-looking skin
This effective concentrate hydrates dry skin lacking in moisture. A high-grade complex of hyaluronic acid and a polymer moisturizer supply intensive moisture and helps prevent moisture loss from the skin. Instantly gives the complexion a fresh and smooth appearance.
Benefits of Ampoules in general
Babor ampoule targets our concerns, provides hydration and helps to restore our skin. They are stable, hygienic and sealed until you are ready to use them.
Ampoules contain smaller molecules that will actually help skin absorption and you will see the result in a short period of time. Therefore, it is suitable as an emergency repair as compare to normal mask.
Le Queenz's tip: They recommended me to use it when travelling because skin is more sensitive when travelling to different climate. Also best to use it before make up because it provides sensitive skin a relief role and helps bring out bright and beautiful make up.
*Babor's Comfort Mask
Babor Skinovage Px Intensifier Comfort Cream Mask instantly relieves dryness and deeply nourishes and replenishes, leaving skin silky soft and hydrated. Babor Skinovage Px Intensifier Comfort Cream Mask is an excellent addition to a dry skin regimen, or a perfect seasonal treatment for all skin types.
*Babor's Lactic Mask
Ideal for all skin types, this mask will deeply cleanse, clarify and calm the skin. A combinatio of lactic powder and kaolin intensively moisturize the skin while calming any minor irritations.
MY THOUGHTS
Overall, I had a wonderful experience from start to finish at Le Queenz. My beautician did an excellent job, very knowledgeable and professional. Well, if you babes have been following me here, you probably know that I am very picky when it comes to my face. So yeah before I let her touch my skin, I asked her so many questions. She gave me her full attention, answered all my questions honestly with full gracious patience.
I loved the facial! Right after the treatment, my skin felt smoother, supple and wonderful. This facial treatment made my skin glow and radiant. Honestly, I seldom go facial because I'm terrified of extractions. I hate the extraction phase because I have the lowest threshold for pain and don't want to end up look like a blotchy mess lobster after the treatment. So I asked my beautician about it and she assured me that there would be no pain during the extraction phase. Yeap, she told me the truth. It was an absolutely painless extraction and I didn't look like lobster after the facial treatment.
I left the salon feeling relaxed, pampered and refreshed with a radiant complexion. It was an absolutely wonderful facial treatment experience and definitely will be coming back in the future.
Thank you so much Le Queenz for making my skin look and feel amazing!
