Let's Face It is a small chain of great little day spas around Manila which have a GREAT website but are pretty underwhelming in person. It's a good spot to get one with a friend in my opinion. My fiancé and I arrived to get our first facials in the afternoon on a Tuesday after having Yelped them the day before. I already knew what I wanted because their menu and prices are available online. The place was unremarkable from the outside and looked a bit cluttered, dim, and cramped inside but was quiet.
We had a short wait before we were set up with our ladies, side by side. After filling out a tiny questionnaire I opted for us to get the complete facial cleaning and soft peel-off mask. Our ladies began with a thorough chemical exfoliant (mine wiped my makeup off first), then a funny-sounding vacuum procedure, wiped our faces clean and applied steam for around 15 minutes.
Then..the pain began. I know my lady was just doing her job but I hated myself for getting a facial for about 25 agonizing minutes due to my large number of whiteheads. When she was done, she cleaned me up and put on a nearly freezing Vitamin C face mask and kept it on for another 20 minutes. I took one look at myself in my phone and couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness.
After it had hardened the mask was peeled off and she applied a cold cream, told me I couldn't wash my face that night, and I paid a little over $20 USD and I tipped her 100 PHP. Took about an hour and a half, including wait time. If I were you, I'd definitely spend the money but drink a TON of water beforehand so your pores can give their clogs up! read more
