The Treatment Room

Facial :

I know when come to promotion package facial, sure they will persuade you to add-on for something that is 'related' to you face problem.

As I was in a rush, and really no energy to stop them doing the same thing on me, I just surrender myself and pay extra RM160 (on top of the RM18 for the promotion package) for a facial treatment on my open pore  (which I know it is really getting worst day by day) instead of the original facial which is on whitening.

After the treatment, I was not very satisfied with the result, the pore just look the same, besides they were filled with 'oil' before I did the treatment (for sure mah, I was walking under the hot sun rush to the center during the most difficult hour in getting a parking in MidValley).

So, no matter how they persuade me to purchase the same treatment package, I just can't convinced myself to pay extra thousands end up buying more products and more treatment with no result.

The center is very technology savy, they have the skin analyse tool that scan your skin for all concerns, rate it, and data is safe for future reference. There's also before and after effect photos taken, just to show you the result of the facial treatment. 

I love one of my friend's comment, she has a very silky and rosy face, she never go to have facial treatment, she only D.I.Y. at home. Though, she bought all sort of expensive products for her face, but, at least you know whether that work for you or not instead of other telling you . She commented “I don't do facial at salon, they just always try to push new things to you by showing you all the bad things on your face, that make me feel very bad and lack of confident, I don't like that”. I do think home D.I.Y. is a workable way nowadays with so many good products in the market, so I should stop myself going to salon too often, besides pampering myself for a good treat of somebody else do it for you and you just lie down there do nothing :-).

I have yet started to test on the product which is meant for whitening. I was told whitening is normally very oily, because it is those dry skin type will tend to have more pigmentation problem. So, I got to wait for some time after the treatment then only start to try this sample as the treatment has done some 'harmful' stuff on my face and I need to give it a break before another round of 'treatment'.
