Japanese facials are gentle and customized to your skin type. Our extraction-free facials are especially suitable for those with sensitive skin. Our facial therapists will first check with you at the start of the treatment if you want extraction as part of the facial treatment.

If you have sensitive skin, our Geisha Organic Facial is a great option. They use 100% organic ingredients that are safe and effective. It’s always best to consult with our beauticians to get a personalized recommendation for the best facial for your skin type.
Hinoki, a type of Cypress tree native to central Japan, is considered a sacred wood for its historical use in building palaces, temples, and shrines. It is also used to build onsens and baths because it is antifungal and does not rot. Ikeda Spa is the only Japanese spa in Singapore that houses the genuine Hinoki bathtub imported from Japan.
Hinoki Onsen, when in contact with hot water, produces Hinoki oil that was found to be highly effective in addressing skin inflammation. A 2015 study done on mice proved that Hinoki oil can help cure atopic dermatitis-like lesions. Moreover, the warm water relaxes your skin and opens your pores, which helps eliminate excess oil, which may cause blackheads and acne.
The best way to prepare for a facial is to relax your body and prep your skin with a hot calming bath. The hot onsen water helps loosen the sebum (oil) in your face, allowing it to slide out of the pore easily when you wash with the cleanser during the facial.
We recommend that you do not stay in the onsen for more than 30 minutes due to the high temperature. Rinse yourself with cold water every 10-15 minutes to stay comfortable.
Our couple onsen bath is attached to our couple spa room. You will need to book a couple’s facial before adding on the couple onsen bath. There will be an additional surcharge for the couple spa room. The surcharge for the couple spa room is $40, excluding GST. This will be waived if you have an active membership with us.
