Beauty Spas in Seoul for Facial & Body Treatments

If you want to get a pampering Korean skin and body care treatment, there are several spas in Seoul that you can visit. From beauty clinics in Gangnam and wellness spas in Myeongdong to Korean-style saunas or jjimjilbang, you can easily book a rejuvenating session for your trip. Below we have the rundown of the best spas in Seoul for facial and hair care treatments:

1. SPA 1899 Donginbi in Gangnam

We start off with Spa 1899 Donginbi, which has become my go-to spa in Korea. What’s special about this place is that they use Donginbi’s anti-aging Korean red ginseng products in all their treatments. According to the staff, this helps restore elasticity and vitality in the skin. So far I have only tried the 60-minute Single Care body treatment, but I thought it was very relaxing and lavish. The moment they applied the red ginseng to my body, I knew that what they were using is quite something else. After my visit, I felt very light. It also felt like my skin was really nourished and restored. Most reviews for Spa 1899 Donginbi said that the must-try service here is the 180-minute face, body, head, and foot care, but I would also recommend the 60-minute body care if you are on a budget.
