RICE FORCE Lifting massage 90mins
RICE FORCE products are a Japanese cosmetic range whose main ingredient is Rice Power® Extract derived from edible rice.
In the west, it may surprise you to learn that Japanese women, especially Geisha, had for centuries used rice water to cleanse, nourish and moisturise the skin, thereby restoring a youthful and healthy glow to their skin. What’s more, Geisha weren’t the only people benefitting from the miraculous properties of rice. The toji, who are craftsmen making sake (rice wine), have contact with malted rice on a daily basis and also have beautiful hands, regardless of old age.
Thus, RICE FORCE has taken advantage of these authentic Japanese natural beauty rituals, and developed their products with state-of-the-art Japanese cosmetic technology. All products contains Rice Power® Extracts. They cleanse the skin deeply and help to build up moisture retention capacity, as well as fortifying the skin barrier function by increasing the ceramide production that typically slows down with aging. Especially, Rice Power® Extract No.11 has been certified as an ingredient to improve the skin’s moisture retaining function by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
This facial is derived from traditional Japanese face lifting techniques, which perfectly underline the effect of the RICE FORCE treatment. At Rikyu, by incorporating these techniques with our Tsubo facial method we can help to bring out your beauty and youth both within and without.
Through our unique two-step cleansing process, performed with special brushes that represent traditional Japanese rituals, your skin becomes clear, fresh and smooth.

〇 With the initial consultation, we’ll check your physical and skin condition, medical history, allergies etc and ask about your main concerns and expectations in order to tailor-make your bespoke treatment.

② Second step of cleansing with facial steam – deep cleansing the skin with Mild Face Wash formulated Rice Power® Extract No.1. With a unique and gentle washing brush made of 100% fine wool, the wash forms tiny bubbles which draw any impurities away from the skin pores completely. The skin becomes nice and clean without causing any damage or stripping away essential moisture!
