| Toner is a must!!! |
| 04.21.05 (4:17 pm) [edit] |
I went to do a facial last Saturday. I know, its not manly or macho for a guy to do that...So I guess that makes me a little metrosexual...but who cares, right?
Anyways, I've was down with flu the whole week last week and I didn't really had the energy nor did I bother to properly wash my face. And thus by the weekend, my complexion had a rough feel to it...rougher than usual, that is...(I have acne pock marks :p )
So I went to a nearby Dermalogica center to get my facial done. And I have to admit I enjoyed every minute of it. They even threw in a free session because it was birthday, and also I got a mystery gift which turn out to be a very tiny vial of some moisterizeur cream. (Shit, how do you spell moisterizer anyway?)
Yeah, I enjoyed the facial very much, and more because the beautician who attended to me was very friendly and was very good at what she does. She explained everything that she put on my face - cleanser, moisterizer, toner, face oil, exfoliant, multivitamin masque, refining masque, hidrating masque, scrubs...
So apparently my skin was dehydrated. And there's a lot of blackheads on my nose. I really really hate blackheads. No matter how much you extract them out, they keep coming back. She explained that my skin lacks moisture and I should apply the hidrating masque every night to give the skin more moisture.
"Whats your normal regime?" she asked. I said cleanser and moisterizer(?). "No toner?" she asked, aghast. I told her I didn't know what a toner was for, and I got a lengthy explanation on the importance of a toner. "Toner is a MUST!" she said. "And sunblock too!"
Okaaaaay. So, instead of my normal nightly cleansing and moisturizing routine, I now have to spend another 10 minutes every night to hidrate my face with the [u]hidrating masque[/u] before I could go to sleep. And she also suggested that I apply the [u]refining masque[/u] on my nose every other night to shrink the pores which would in turn help with the blackheads. So thats an extra 10 minutes. [u]Exfoliant[/u] also would help, she said. Exfoliant is better than scrubs because with scrubs you wouldn't know how much pressure you apply on your face, and you might hurt your skin, she explained. And another 10 minutes to exfoliate.
I told her that would steal 30 minutes of my sleep. And I'm already deprived of sleep. Her colleague laughed.
So okay. In the end I enrolled in six sessions of facials which cost me a cool thousand bucks. But they threw in two free sessions because it was my birthday. How could I not love them? :)
And I also bought a big bottle of [u]toner[/u] (toner is a must!) and a small bottle [u]sunblock[/u] (168 bucks!) and an even smaller bottle of [u]face oil[/u] (I've forgotten what it does).
So all in all, I paid about 1400 bucks for all that. And they gave me two free Dermalogica towels. One blue, one pink...hehehe...but you'll never see me use a pink towel.
I'm looking forward to having my face caressed again tomorrow. Julianna the beautician sure knows how to work those hands of hers. Hmmm...I wonder...
