Song Hye-Kyo, Bae Suzy, and Park Shin-Hye. What do all three of them have in common apart from being gorgeous Korean actresses with effortless, bouncy curls? Their glowing complexions of course.
In a bid to get that plump, "chok chok" skin, we slather on hydrating essences and serums, but we don't always reap the rewards of our efforts. Don't give up just yet. There's still another way to achieve luminous, dewy skin fast. Today, we're casting the spotlight on the best Korean facials in Singapore.
These clinics and aestheticians have brought renowned Korean beauty treatments right to our sunny shores so that we too, can achieve healthy, glowing skin just like our favourite celebrities. If you're due for a relaxing facial to clear up your skin and restore your glow, it's high time you visited one of these spas and clinics.
Cheongdam Korean Skin Management
After a working stint in South Korea's premier beauty clinics, the founder of Cheongdam Korean Skin Management returned to Singapore to establish a skin centre that offers advanced treatments at affordable prices. Using leading formulas and technology from major hospitals and skincare centres in Seoul, Cheongdam lets you experience authentic professional Korean skincare services first hand.
Every machine used at Cheongdam is 100% medical-grade and has been imported directly from Korea. Each product is also infused with plant extracts and is free of alcohol and parabens. In fact, some of the machines and formulas have been used on Korean celebrities and beauty gurus too, so you know you'll achieve your skin goals here.
Which facial to try?
If you're not sure which facial treatment to go for, try Cheongdam's Customised Korean Facial. After a consultation and analysis from their in-house experts, a personalised 10-step treatment will be tailored to target your specific skin issues. The facial also picked up our 'Best Korean Facial' award at the Daily Vanity Spa & Hair Awards!
The treatment uses Oxygenceuticals, a key product from Korea that's proven and used by 80% of dermatological clinics in South Korea. This oxygen-rich treatment nourishes the skin with vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients to keep your skin bright and plump. Oxygen can also kill harmful bacteria and improve blood circulation, so your skin will look clearer and heal quicker. Three medical-grade machines will be used to deliver its benefits into your skin more effectively.
Since we all have different skin types and concerns, Cheongdam has over 50 different treatments to suit your skin needs. This way, the skin centre is able to address all kinds of issues, from acne and pigmentation to scarring and dullness.

Yakson House
If you've already got your skincare routine down pat but you're still not satisfied with your face shape, head to Yakson House. Known for its non-invasive Korean facials, Yakson (which translates to "mother's hand) House aims to contour your face to make it appear smaller.
Which facial to try?
To achieve a smaller, more oval face shape, Yakson House offers golki therapy. It's also known as bone therapy, which is a method of remodelling the face through massage techniques that realign the bone structure.
This technique may not be the most ideal for those who seek instant gratification. For best results, 20 consecutive weekly sessions are recommended in order to see a visible difference. That said, you'll definitely notice a slight lifting effect after each session.

Hanbang Skin Solutions
Hanbang Skin Solutions marries traditional Korean skincare methods with state-of-the-art equipment to help you achieve glowing skin in the most holistic way possible. Choose between nine different Korean facials – including one specially designed for men – to combat your skin concerns.
The centre specialises in Hanbang Original Korean Geunmak, a technique that relieves tension, boosts blood circulation, and stimulates your lymph nodes. You can look forward to firmer, elastic skin and a more youthful-looking appearance.
Which facial to try?
If you've got a sweet tooth, you might want to try the Hanbang Anti-Glycation Treatment. Consumption of excessive sugar can cause damage to the skin through a chemical process known as glycation. It breaks down your essential proteins like elastin and collagen, both of which work together to hold your skin's shape and firmness.
To prevent wrinkles and sagging dull, the 90-minute treatment infuses essential nutrients into the skin to support its structure. Together with Hanbang Skin Solutions' facial massage technique, it increases skin elasticity and contours your face for a younger look.

CIVASAN Laboratories
Dressed in cotton candy pink, CIVASAN Laboratories is a cross between a futuristic lab and an aesthetic salon, but it isn't just for show. The facial salon is frequented by Korean celebrities with the likes of Kim Ye-Won and Yoo Ho-Jeong, so you can cop that glow here too.
CIVASAN believes that each person can have multiple skin types, which is why their trained therapists will conduct an in-depth skin diagnosis beforehand. This allows them to map out the different areas of your face and plan the treatments that will be used to target several issues.
Which facial to try?
If you want smoother, younger-looking skin, try the signature CV Sizopirin. It uses DNA proteins to reduce wrinkles, lift your skin, bump up moisture, and improve skin elasticity. Apart from smoothing out your facial lines, the treatment targets dullness, acne scars, large pores, and nodular acne too.
In this treatment, a handheld device will be used to deliver nutritious proteins deep into the layers of your skin. The CV Sizopirin will also relieve redness and shrink the appearance of your pores, so you'll have calmer, poreless-looking skin.
