3 Facial Cocktails for 3 Skin Moods: Our House Specials Explained

Not everyone wants to design their own facial. Some people just want to know: which one is right for me, what will it do, and how do I book it?

That’s what our House Specials are for.

We created three signature Facial Cocktails at SW1 Spa — each one optimised for a different skin situation. A different mood, if you like. They’re not arbitrary combinations. Each one was designed because its base and garnishes work together better together than they do separately. Here they are.

The Detox Martini — For Skin That Needs a Reset

The build: Clear base (Sonic Cleanse) + The Velvet Peel + LED Twist. Price: $216 before GST.

The Detox Martini is for skin that’s been through it. After a holiday where SPF was an afterthought. After a week of client dinners and late nights. After Singapore’s heat has done its worst and your skin feels simultaneously congested and dull.

The Clear base starts with a deep sonic cleanse — it goes into the pores, sweeps out the surface debris, and resets the skin to a clean baseline. This is not a delicate cleanse. It’s designed to actually shift the congestion.

The Velvet Peel follows with gentle resurfacing. It removes the layer of dead skin cells sitting on the surface — the main contributor to that rough, flat, lifeless texture — without compromising the barrier. The result is smoother, more even-textured skin.

The LED Twist finishes with tailored light therapy. For the Detox Martini, we typically use blue and red wavelengths — blue to address any bacterial component of congestion, red to calm inflammation and support recovery after resurfacing.

The result: Skin that looks genuinely cleaned out. Pores less visible, texture more refined, the kind of reset that makes your everyday products work better afterwards. Who it’s for: Congested, dull, stressed skin that needs a proper clean slate.

The Glow Mojito — For Skin That Wants to Shine

The build: Glow base (Mini Hydraboost) + Pearl Éclat Shot. Price: $158 before GST.

The Glow Mojito is the lighter, brighter option. It’s for skin that’s looking a little flat and needs a quick, effective lift — without the full resurfacing reset of the Detox Martini.

The Glow base hydrates and gently exfoliates simultaneously. The Mini Hydraboost softens texture while flooding the skin with moisture, creating the kind of plump, smooth surface that reflects light well.

The Pearl Éclat Shot adds the antioxidant punch and instant brightness. It works to even out the surface tone and bring out the skin’s natural luminosity — the glow that looks like health rather than highlighter.

The result: Visibly brighter, plumper, more alive-looking skin. The kind of result where people ask if you’ve been on holiday or sleeping better. Who it’s for: Dull, flat skin that needs to shine. Also excellent for pre-event skin prep.

The Youth Negroni — For Skin That Wants to Repair

The build: Glow base (Mini Hydraboost) + DNA Repair Elixir + LED Twist. Price: $216 before GST.

The Youth Negroni is our most complex House Special — three components that build on each other to support the skin’s repair and regeneration processes. It’s the treatment for skin that’s showing early signs of ageing or is in a state of deeper depletion.

The Glow base provides the hydrating, gently exfoliating foundation. The DNA Repair Elixir introduces PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) — a regenerative ingredient that works by providing the building blocks for cellular repair. The LED Twist works alongside the PDRN with red wavelengths that penetrate deeper into the dermis to stimulate fibroblast activity and support collagen synthesis.

The result: Over a series of treatments, firmer, more resilient skin. In a single session: improved hydration, a visible lift in overall skin quality, and the distinct sense that the skin looks more composed. Who it’s for: Anyone noticing fine lines, loss of firmness, or a general flatness that feels more age-related than environmental.

Taking PDRN further: SW1 Shop (sw1shop.com) carries copper peptide and PDRN-family home care products for at-home maintenance. For those wanting injectable-grade PDRN results, SW1 Clinic (sw1clinic.com) offers polynucleotide skin booster treatments that work at a deeper level.

Not sure? Come in and we’ll do a quick skin read before we start mixing. All three House Specials are available throughout June for Facial Cocktails Month — and if none of the above is quite right, our Build-Your-Own option lets you mix exactly what you need.
