Acne breakouts or skin flares? These road-tested facials could be your salve

FACIAL REJUVENATION, PARIS
Acupuncture had always given me the shivers, but since trying it earlier this year I consider it a real game changer for my skin. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment that uses extremely fine needles to help the body find its natural balance. Acupuncture facials can help with a number of skin concerns from tackling fine lines and wrinkles to reducing dark circles and dullness.
Facialist Elaine Huntzinger combines her acupuncture facials with gua sha (a technique using stone tools that reduces puffiness and helps lift and contour the face), facial cupping for lymphatic drainage and jade rollers that help to cool and soothe. Each acupuncture treatment is entirely bespoke and changes with each visit. Be brave, it’s an absolute must-try. €100 (S$151), elainehuntzinger.com
