Su-Man Facials

MOOD AND COLLAGEN BOOSTING FACIAL

By Amy Jones

In April’s issue of Psychologies (out now), our editorial team became our Beauty Community panel, testing and whittling down a plethora of facials to bring you the top five available nationwide.

A few weeks after the trial had gone to press, the beauty team were invited to experience a facial available exclusively at the AWAY Spa at the W Hotel in London with Su-Man Hsu, a highly renowned facialist, whose innovative techniques we thought were certainly worth a mention.

The philosophy behind Su-Man’s treatments? Skin looks its most radiant when your body is balanced – any muscle or joint problems must be addressed in order for your skin to glow. She draws on her expertise in the fields of Shiatsu, Pilates and oriental facial massage to work on enhancing inner beauty rather than focusing entirely on the surface skin flaws; spots, pigmentation, wrinkles.

After an initial skin analysis, Su-Man deeply cleansed, streamed and exfoliated my skin. She thoroughly worked out the tension that had built up on the right side of my body all the way up to my temples – months of hunching over a keyboard and years of carrying my whole life in my handbag had hindered my circulation and caused my skin to droop and look rather dull. She repeated every massage stroke 36 times in accordance to the ancient Chinese belief that the number six is lucky and helps lead the individual to a perfect state of health and happiness.

A soothing botanical placenta mask and a toning and moisturising later, I had reached this state. I left with a pair of cheekbones I never knew I had, brighter, firmer, younger looking skin but, most importantly, I left with my equilibrium – body and mind restored.

Su-Man’s Signature Facial – £200 for 60minutes. Thursdays Only.

AWAY Spa is open daily from 9am to 9pm. For further information or to make an appointment call 0207 758 1071 or visit www.wlondon.co.uk/away-spa.

GET THE GLOW WITH SU-MAN HSU

By Amy Hopkinson  October 18, 2011

Away from the hustle and bustle of the usual skincare haunts lives Su-Man Hsu- the unique facialist with a talent for creating an A-list glow- Juilette Binoche, Joely Richardson and Estelle to name three. But unlike other skincare treatments (the they’re doing you should too type) Su-Man’s talents far excel the latest celebrity gimmick.

Based in leafy Crouch End, London, Su-Man offers a facial unlike any other we’ve experienced. From the moment we entered Su-Man’s immaculate house to waking from a deep slumber three days later our face, body and mind radiated positive energy. Let us introduce you to the secret world of Su-Man.

The 60 minute treatment begins with a skin analysis- Su-Man uses a camera to determine how naughty our skincare routine actually is- before designing the following regime to suit. It is at this point we realise Su-Man isn’t here to pamper to perfection and is about to start some serious facial work.

Pamper Away at W London’s New Spa

By Lisa Myers  April 10, 2012

A few weeks ago we told you our pleasure at our discovering our favourite new hairdressing haven, Sergio Giannasso, on London’s St Martin’s Lane (read about it here), so imagine our delight when we learnt that Sergio, along with a elite team of celebrity therapists, have joined W London’s new AWAY® Spa, just around the corner from his salon, offering head-to-toe treatments that will leave guests revitalised and red-carpet-ready. These exclusive treatments include shiatsu facial from Su Man Hsu, a new tanning experience from James Harknett, eyelash extensions by Ruthie Belle and hair styling and make up by Sergio Giannasso. The new treatments sit alongside a menu including massages, scrubs, manicures, pedicures and more.

The hotel has a ‘Whatever/Whenever¹ beauty policy – offering guests whatever they want, whenever they want it – meaning that the team are on call to meet the needs of all of the hotels guests whenever they are in need of some seriously good pampering.

The following are a sample of the specialist treatments now available at AWAY Spa:

Facialist to the stars Su-Man shares top tips for good skin

From: Spa Beauty Geek,

2012

Celebrity facialist and acclaimed professional dancer Su-Man Hsu has taken the skin and beauty world by storm with her signature treatments, and is now bringing them to the heart of London. Fusing her knowledge of facial massages withshiatsu and Pilates, Su-Man tailor-makes her own particular style of facial experience atLondon’s W Hotel each Thursday. Mixing her native Taiwanese skincare rituals with her own passion for art, her facials work to treat both the face and the surrounding areas for maximum benefit.

Loved by A-list celebrity clients including Anne Hathaway, Estelle, Juliette Binoche and Joely Richardson among many others, Su-Man’s facial includes massaging each particular area 36 times. It’s not an obsession though – the tradition is based on the ancient Chinese belief that the number six is lucky and leads to the ultimate state of happiness.

Su-Man shares her summer beauty expertise to keep skin in tip-top condition and nourished no matter what the weather’s up to:

1. Keep your skin thoroughly hydrated inside and outside. Drink lots of water, much more than you think you need, especially if you are regularly exercising outside. Use toner; it's even more important during the summer as it helps to balance skin pH and re-hydrate after cleansing. For ultimate refreshment, keep your toner in the fridge.

2. Drink a glass of salty warm water before breakfast to replenish the water and salt lost over night.

3. Watermelon not only cleans your digestive system, but is also a simple and fantastic beauty tool during the summer. Eat the fleshy part of the melon then rub the green part on your face and leave for 10 -15 minutes as a mask. This will refresh, hydrate and minimise outbreaks of pimples caused by excess oil.

4. Use sunscreens that contain zinc oxide. It reflects the sun’s rays and scatters them from your body while boosting your skin's antioxidant defences at the same time.

5. Drinking Wu-long tea often can keep your skin's elastin level high and help your digestion after meals. Make a jug of this tea, add ice cubes and chill for a refreshing summer drink.

Want to experience Su-Man’s talents first-hand? If so, you’re in for a treat. After an initial skin analysis, Su-Man’s technique is to awaken the skin with ascalp massage before deeply cleansing the skin with steaming, using gentle extraction to remove stubborn blackheads and exfoliate the skin. For total relaxation, a botanical face mask nurtures the skin before a quick tone and moisturise leaves the face sparkling.

With each part of the process, Su-Man’s massaging fingers glide over all parts of the upper body including neck, chest and shoulders to rebalance and awaken the skin. Additionally, shiatsu massage is performed over the head, arms and feet to stop any tension from affecting the natural beauty in our faces. Thursdays at the W Hotel will be booking up in no time…
