Now here’s food for thought: we take great care in choosing what goes into our bodies, so why aren’t we paying more attention to what goes on it? The beauty product industry is highly unregulated, unlike the food industry, so we should be taking a closer look at the labels. Triclosan, phthalates, parabens, synthetic colours, formaldehyde … the list goes on.
So in a city like Hong Kong, where food provenance can be tricky and the hazy sky a worry, it’s exceptionally pleasant to pamper yourself at Emmanuel F. This full-service hair and beauty spa and salon uses almost 100 per cent organic and natural products. Treat yourself to a relaxing pre-holiday facial at Emmanuel F and let someone else do the label reading for you.
In fact, let their therapists do it all for you!
Luxurious “Youthful” facial

Emmanuel F’s signature Youthful anti-ageing facial for men and women is suitable for all skin types. The “magic ingredient” is the Phyt’s Naturo-Esthetique organic cosmetic products made from plant extracts, intricate essential oil blends and phyto-complexes.
It’s designed to smooth, lift, firm, tone and strengthen through stimulation of collagen and elastin cells. This is a reinvigorating signature facial treatment packed full of powerful active ingredients to fight the signs of cutaneous ageing in mature skin types. You won’t need that Instagram filter for those holiday snaps after this facial!
The treatment begins with the cleansing of the skin followed by a massage using precious oils. The exclusive stick massage directly targets wrinkles topically, stimulating and revitalising the skin tissue. The mask is intensely relaxing, and the facial is finished off with a moisturising cream for long-lasting and visible results.
About the products
Panacée featured and recommended product by Emmanuel F. salon (Credit/Phyt’s)
Emmanuel F recommends Phyt’s newest product in stock at the salon: Panacée. Thanks to the edelweiss extract (a rare plant known for its unparalleled resistance to extreme living conditions), this product claims to fight all signs of ageing by significantly reducing wrinkles, firming the skin, reducing oxidative stress, and reducing pigment irregularities. It’s not only highly nourishing, but it leaves the skin regenerated and luminous.
