Life between trips

Shocked! I wasn't expecting this piece of news and i was about to try to buy another facial package at the coming 12% rebate. So upset i was that i cancelled all my other activities for the day. I've been coming to this facial since 2014 and i always enjoyed my session with my therapist Cammie who always make me feel at ease. I am also comforted by the fact that this is a big name brand not those facial salons that could shutter up anytime with no compensation. So its kind of sad to find out during my facial that it might be my last. SKII is closing by Jun 15, 2017 and they won't be continuing when Tangs reopen their facial counters at level 4. I am unsure if i will look for another facial place as alot of places don't perform extraction now. Extraction is good to clear the pores and allow skin to absorb the nutrients better. Or i might just rely on all the facial masks i purchased during my Korean trip. Compensation for the balance of unused package will be ca...

I was out hunting again for a facial place after Yamano and Kose Beauty Studio turned out to be less then desirable. As the beauty cabine is fully renovated at Tangs and moved to level 7 and i heard so many hooha reviews on Sulwahsoo products, i decided to find out for myself. I booked a facial at the weekday to try out the SnowiseEx illuminating facial since its the cheapest on the list.  Level 7 cabine is very luxurious. Decor is oriental modern design. I was quickly ushered to the waiting room upon arrival. The therapist started out by requesting me to choose my favourite scent for facial. I only remember 2 of the scent being pine wood and apricot. But 3 out of the 4 scents are woody. Everything about the facial are quite the norm with no surprises. Cleansing, scrubbing and massage with the cream. The massage is very moisturising for the skin. The final touch is putting on a mask for the last 15 mins.  Review: So far the facial has been acceptable. I like th...

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

So far this is one of the better spas in terms of skill. I went on a weekday so the place is pretty quiet and i had their full attention. The spa place was huge! I walked past the long hallways, there is so many rooms that i lost count. I could just imagine it being packed on a weekend.  The room that i was ushered to had a window and it was pretty warm and the light is pretty glaring on the eyes. After it was drawn, it also did not manage to stay in place. The place was decent though it differs from what i was expect from the pictures. The decor of the place is basic and furnished with the basic essentials for a facial and nothing luxurious.  There are 3 types of facial and i decided to try the hydrating facial to brighten up  my face.  The lady who attended to me is skilful. All the steps require for a facial was well done. Cleansing, extraction and also the a 2 layered mask. The facial extraction was painful but was muc...

I stopped facials for 6 months and i look tired. It might have been the late nights, stress hormones or age itself. But i think a girl has to care for her skin. No matter what, i'm due for a beauty regime and so its time to try out a few facial places before finally deciding on a regular place to go. I'm still in search-process though. Lucky you! You have the first hand information and all without trying! I've been wanting to try SKII facial for the longest time. Its the steep pricing that hold me back but what the HECK! I need to feel beautiful. Upon arrival, i am served drinks while waiting. As its my first time there, i got a detailed skin analysis done. The skin analysis machine will review your skin in terms of pores, elasticity, tone, spots and fine lines. Apparently, its possible to attain crystal clear skin if these 5 dimensions (Radiance enhancement, Texture refinement, Spot, Wrinkle resistance, firmness power) of skin problems are targetted and add...
