We love the Big Durian but it doesn’t always love us! Dust and grime, fumes and pollutants assail our faces daily. We’ve found the perfect solution in one word – facials! And they come in all shapes and sizes.
We love a Korean sheet mask as much as the next girl, but the only way to truly get silky smooth poreless skin is by enlisting the help of a expert facialist. For life-changing treatments, hit up the following skin clinics and spas for healthy, glowing complexion that only the pros can help you achieve. From the traditional press facial to the modern ones using LED light and radio wave technology, here are the best facial treatments you should try in Jakarta.
Erha
Stubborn blackheads have got you down? We suggest making a beeline for your nearest Erha clinic to give their Deep Pore Cleansing Therapy a try. For even better results, book into a consultation with an onsite dermatologist to get a personalized skincare treatment that will have you on your A-game for months to come.
Erha, multiple locations, check website for details.
Surface Skin Habit
Looking for a variety of facials? Surface Skin Habit is here to help you put your best face forward. Here’s how it usually goes down: once you step in, their consultants will start you out with a thorough skin analysis to determine what kind of facial is best for you. We recommend their popular Hydraderm Facial, a microdermabrasion treatment coupled with a nourishing serum. Brides-to-be needing that extra glow from head-to-toe should also take advantage of their fabulous pre-wedding package.

Miracle Aesthetic Clinic
The Miracle Aesthetic Clinic is well known to those of us who make the daily trip up and down Kemang Raya. Its large billboards tempt us with miracle solutions for our faces.

The oxygen facial is, once the dreaded blackheads have been removed, pure bliss! Again, it’s best to do a course for best results.
