uniquely Korean SPA experience

One of the things that I do to unwind is to go to SPA.

When I see the deal at Ensogo for Lasema Spa , I message my friend right away and told her about the deal. And lucky me she agree to accompany me;)

 Voucher is valid for Sauna + Jjimjil Bang + Massage for 1 at Lasema Spa and Sauna for 495 pesos.

After all the stress a few months ago I felt that I really need to relax and have some massage. So we avail the deal last week.

Lasema Spa was located at the back of FEU University in Makati inside the Makati Golf Country Club. Upon arrival we present our voucher to receptionist and she let us wait for about 15 minutes. She gave us the key for the locker, a pair of pink short and t-shirt and 2 small towels. I asked for the robe since I know that we’ll need it for massage.

We go right away to the locker room and wear the pink tshirt and short. The locker room is beside the WET AREA.

What you will see in Women WET Area? :
2 Hot and one cold Jacuzzi
Shower Rooms
Scrubbing Area

What to wear? -  NAKED



WET SAUNA AREA

Honestly, I was culture shock when I saw the Koreans roaming around the locker room NAKED.

After shower, we headed to the DRY Sauna, since I don't have a guts to be NAKED. :D

Before we start to try the dry sauna we go first to the receptionist of massage room to reserve our preffered time for our massage.

What you will see in DRY Sauna (Jjim Jil Bang ) ? 

♥ Dome Clay/Chungito - Helps in balancing the energy in the human body as it contains minerals which releases negative ions and helps transfer energy to body. 
♥ Salt charcoal - Relaxes and detoxifies while stimulating metabolism as it contains carbon minerals like calcium, magnesium and iron. 
♥ Oak and Clay - Intensifies the body's natural healing process and best for women who have recently given birth. Also perfect for those who have atopic dematitis and other skin problems as well as those suffering from respiratory problems like asthma.
♥ Ice Room
♥ Sleeping Caves

Other amenities inside the Jjim Jil bang : 
♥ Smoking Area
♥ Snack Bar


What to wear? - here where you wear your pink short and t-shirt.


DRY Sauna ( Dome Clay Sauna/Chungito,Salt Charcoal, Oak and Clay), Sleeping Caves, Ice Rooom

My personal favorite in dry sauna is Oak and Clay since the heat is just enought for me and i can stay longer.

I LOVE the way they massage i can say that it is better than the Sonja's garden massage in tagaytay. (IMO)
I feel so relaxed after the one hour massage.


What I don't like?
→ The receptionist in massage area is a boy.
→ Since we were 6 in massage room, you can hear the chitchats of the koreans and also the chitchats of masseuses.
→ I can hear the sounds of the aircon since there's no relaxing music played at that time.

But overall, it was a uniquely Korean SPA experience.
