If those routinely facials make you feel like an over pampered silicon layered doll, then embrace your alter ego by playing with fire, as the latest Chinese spa treatment, stokes fire for rejuvenated you.

The Huo liao Treatment from China, meant to give boost to the sleepiest of the skin types, involves soaking a towel in alcohol and a secret elixir and placing it on the problem area such as face, legs, neck or back – and later the towel is set to fire, to be extinguished from another cloth just after a few seconds.

A form of an alternative therapy the treatment works effectively in case of dull skin, the common cold and obesity.
