✨ As we enter into the final month of the year once again (also my favourite month!), we take the chance of the slower, festive-induced pace of work to reminisce the year that has gone by. The good and bad moments, the memories of laughter and tears, we all have our fair share of adventures and struggles. Perhaps you’ve had a fulfilling year of achievements and blessings, or maybe you were met with trying obstacles and challenges.
Indulge a little and treat yourself to some pampering. It may be to rejuvenate from a hectic year, or to recover from struggles and negativity, or even to continue the streak of good fortune you’ve had throughout the year.
Cardable brings you 10 pampering treats in Singapore you can reward yourself with to end your year right! These treats range from spas and massages, to beauty, facials and haircuts. Ready to choose the treatment you want to splurge on? 💆🏻

2. Private Koyamaki Onsen Therapy @ Elements Wellness
This is a treatment where you soak your body in energised ion Onsen water. Free radicals are generated from metabolism as well as other daily matters, such as the air we breathe and the food and drinks we consume. Free radicals have been linked to ageing, destroy our cells and are associated with diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and inflammatory joint disease. The negative ions in the Onsen water work to neutralise and remove the positively charged free radicals in our bodies so promote better overall health and slow down ageing process.
Each session is approximately 40 minutes and Elements Wellness offers an option for couples. Health is a glass ball you can’t afford to drop among the other major aspects of your life. Take the chance this year-end to treat your body right and rejuvenate from within. You’d want to start the new year not only on a happy note, but a healthy one too.

5. Microdermabrasion for Face @ Face Bistro
If you haven’t gone for a facial treatment for a while, flooded by never-ending tasks and pressing deadlines all year round, this December, it’s time you go for one. You may have heard of a Microdermabrasion treatment, a type of facial treatment that has risen in popularity in recent years. For the benefit of the less-informed, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny crystals or other exfoliating surfaces to remove the superficial layer of skin for renewal and healthier skin. It is ideal for those with hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles and sun spots and dull-looking skin, and works best for people in 30s who are in the early stages of ageing skin. It also shows the most optimal results with a few weeks of treatment, rather than a one-off miracle.
Of course, with any facial treatment, it is good to read up more and speak to the facial consultant on the best treatment for your skin concerns before deciding what to do.

The prices are relatively reasonable as well, so rest assure that your pocket won’t get burnt just like your skin. If you frequently go for waxing and can’t bear the pain during and after the treatment, we urge you to give sugaring a try! It’s been said to be gentler and with less irritation.

8. Lash Extension @ Highbrow
Lash extension services have become more common and accessible these days. Women who prefer not to fiddle with eyelash curlers and mascaras whenever they put on makeup can opt to have lash extensions which can last for about a month. Know what that means? It’s a perfect treat for yourself this December! Imagine having fuller, longer lashes without the extra time spend on coating a few layers of mascara, or sticking on falsies, or even the process of removing them at the end of a tiring night. Tempting, isn’t it?
If you’re not a fan of full lashes, fret not. Highbrow has the lash curling treatment where you can ‘perm’ your existing lashes and not worry about them drooping 3 hours later. We think this is a great pampering treat for ladies who can’t live without mascaras. Try this and see how much convenience it bring you!

9. Body Scrub @ The Oriental Spa Chamber
The Oriental Spa Chamber, a subsidiary of Mary Chia, is a wellness establishment focused on Oriental Spa treatments. With its warm decor and use of herbal treatments, you’ll be in for a holistic, refreshing pampering treat to end your year right. The Body Scrub treatment only lasts for 30 minutes, promising to scrub away the dirt and dead skin cells from your skin to clean our your pores. A regular scrubbing treatment is essential to promote healthier skin, as our skin cells die everyday due to various environmental factors. Scrubbing them away ensures they aren’t left on our pores and increasing the risks of them being clogged.
If you have a little more time to spare, why not add on another service for an extra treat? We recommend the Aroma Oil or the Shiatsu Body massage to relax your muscles and calm your nerves, soothe out the muscle kinks and improve blood circulation for a full body pampering.
If massages are not your idea of a relaxing time, treat yourself to a rose quartz facial that will rejuvenate, heal and detoxify your skin for the new year ahead.
The operating hours at The Oriental Spa Chamber are long, but make sure to reserve your slot early since everyone may have the same self-pampering mindset as you this December. If you’re a fan of the Oriental style of body treatments, you should definitely carve out some time to let your body relax and recuperate from a year’s worth of stress before you indulge in the year-end parties and gatherings!

From time to time, treating your body and skin well with these wellness services is crucial. We live in an extremely fast-paced city, often faced with different types of stress, pollution and commitments. Sometimes amidst the busy schedules, we neglect our bodies’ call for rest and recuperation, building up the fatigue and lethargy. Whatever it is, time waits for no man and these moments have passed us by.
December is a month of nostalgia, celebration and hope; nostalgia on the happenings of the year, celebration of festivity with Christmas and New Year, and hope for a better year to come. Whether the year has been bad or good for you, why not end the year as best as you can?
December is also typically the month where people try to take time off from work, which is also the best month you should reward yourself with these pampering treats. Be selfish for a little while, indulge a little more and and pamper yourself with these little treats. Your body will thank you after this and you’ll be ready to take on a brand new year!
