Deokcheon facial salon for combo skin: 2-step water drop at Bemontes

Maybe it's the change of seasons, but my skin has been extra flaky and dry lately, while underneath it still feels oily T_T. About this time of year home care just hits its limit, so I end up leaning on professional treatment. This time I heard about Bemontes Esthetic (베몽테스에스테틱), which has a good reputation around Deokcheon and high satisfaction among friends who have been, so I booked it myself and went.

How does parking work at Bemontes Esthetic?

You park in the building's underground garage, and Bemontes Esthetic covers 2 hours of parking. The 2 hours are generous, so there's no worry at all about coming by car. Access seemed fine by public transport or by car~~

A facial salon in Deokcheon with a high return rate

Bemontes Esthetic turns out to be well known around Deokcheon for doing facials well. I heard it has a 95% return rate, with lots of regulars, so I was secretly really looking forward to seeing what the treatment would do!

What are the first-visit discount and consultation like?

First visits get 50% off at Bemontes Esthetic, and before the treatment there's a consultation based on your current skin condition. The inside of the salon was very neat and tidy overall. Don't miss the 50% first-visit discount!

Skin before treatment: flaky outside, oily T-zone

This is my skin before the actual care started. Maybe because of the seasonal change, it was especially dry and flaky, and the texture wasn't smooth T_T

It's dry and flaky, yet oddly oil still comes up around the T-zone and nose. That's combo skin (dry on the surface, oily underneath), so even picking basic skincare is tricky for me... At Bemontes Esthetic they went through these worries carefully, which helped set the direction of my custom care.

In what order was the combo skin care done?

Gentle, irritation-free cleansing

The first step at Bemontes Esthetic is a gentle cleansing that doesn't stress the skin. They wiped away impurities and leftover makeup mildly and tidied up my skin texture, and I already felt refreshed.

First pack for oil control and hydration, plus a scalp massage

Right after cleansing, they lightly applied a first pack to help control oil and quickly refill the missing moisture. It felt like building a solid base so the nutrients that follow absorb well haha

While the pack was on, they didn't let the waiting time go to waste and gave me a scalp massage at the same time. The touch felt so good, it was like all my built-up fatigue melted away!

Long décolleté care that loosens the neck and shoulders

Next came the décolleté (neck, chest and shoulder area) care. They noticed my neck muscles are usually in bad shape T_T, so they made the décolleté longer and more focused. I could feel them paying close attention to my build and condition, and I was totally touched ✨✨

Their skill in releasing the neck muscles and trapezius was clearly different from an ordinary treatment room. The stiff, knotted areas relaxed and my whole body felt lighter, so I naturally let myself go.

They didn't just skim the surface of my back either, they worked deep and thoroughly, and it felt really, really!!! good. Bemontes Esthetic is originally known for contouring too, so maybe that's why their skill with the décolleté and body line seems exceptional.

Why water drop device care comes first for dry skin

Since my skin is so dry, we moved on to water drop device care. They said that without basic moisture in the skin, even the best vitamins or nutrients can't be absorbed properly, so hydration comes first.

Two-step device absorption: hydrating ampoule and soothing gel

The water drop care at Bemontes Esthetic came in two steps: hydrating ampoule absorption and soothing gel absorption. First they applied the hydrating ampoule and pushed it in deep with the water drop device, then they spread on a generous layer of a gel that handles soothing and hydration together and used the device once more. It felt like layering moisture step by step haha

A modeling pack mixed with ampoule instead of water

The last step was a modeling pack (a mask that sets into a rubbery layer) to brighten skin tone and soothe. Other modeling packs are usually mixed with water, but Bemontes Esthetic mixes the ampoule right into the modeling pack, so it felt much more moist, with deeper hydration.

How did my skin look right after?

This is my skin right after everything was done. Even from the photo you can tell it's plumped up with moisture, right? Compared with before, my skin tone was clearly clearer and my complexion looked brighter, and I was marveling at myself in the mirror.. 🤍

It was really busy with customers when I visited Bemontes Esthetic, and after trying the treatment myself I understand why so many people keep coming back haha

After the treatment, a hair dryer and curling iron are neatly set out so you can fix messy hair, a thoughtful touch to the very end 👍 It would be perfect for stopping by and tidying up before plans.

Overall verdict on Bemontes Esthetic

If you're around Hwamyeong or Deokcheon and want to properly handle seasonal dryness and an unbalanced complexion, I recommend Bemontes Esthetic! The first-visit discount is great, and from the décolleté to the deep water drop care the touch is so thorough and they were so kind that I'm 1000% going back.
