Was brought into this cozy room for the facial treat.
Sans makeup face. Yups, I didn't bother to put any makeup though my face looks absolutely horrid. I did put sunblock though.
Changed into the provided facial gown.
The facial therapist started off by deep cleansing my face with The Aqua ST AS (All-Skin) Solution, softening sebum and impurities to aid in extractions. It assists in dislodging dead cells for exfoliation and provides residual hydration that aids in firming and smoothing fine lines.
Extraction time. I was well aware that my face was pretty congested, with blackheads/whiteheads/acnes. The facial therapist was so meticulous in extracting those unwanted bits. No doubt it is a painful process, I braved thru' it. All I want is better complexion. Nothing else matters. After the 15min ordeal, she applied rosewater liberally on my face to soothe the skin. So relaxing. Ahh I'm in love with the scent!
She recommended SA - The Aqua ST SA (Salicylic Acid) Solution for my face, which is specially formulated for oily and acne prone skin. Its active ingredients include Pentylene Glycol and Spirea Ulmaria Extract to penetrate the pores and dislodge dead cells for exfoliation. Using a suction tube with a unique spiral tip, The Aqua ST SA (Salicylic Acid) Solution was infused into my skin. Starts from the chin to the jaw, slowly working upwards & outwards. According to the facial therapist, this can help slim the face!
Mask-ing time. She applied a thick layer of lemon mask to combat acne. So cooling! While having the mask on, she gave me a really good neck and shoulder massage. Thumbs up!
Last but not least, she applied AO - The Aqua ST AO (Anti-Oxidant) Solution, on my skin after cleansing off the mask and toning my face. Not forgetting eye serum and sunblock. AO - The Aqua ST AO (Anti-Oxidant) Solution is formulated with stabilized Vitamins A, E & White Tea Extract to combat free radicals and environmental damage to the skin cells.
My face after the Aqua Peel Facial. I was surprised that I didn't fall asleep (which I normally will). Ignoring the reddish bits, my face was noticably more radiant and my skintone was more even. I love the fact that Aqua Peel Facial isn't painful at all (except the extraction part). I thought I would end up with peeling skin after the treatment. My fears were clearly unfounded. The results were very lasting, more than a week definitely. I could see a significant improvement in my complexion after doing this Aqua Peel Facial. My skin literally glows from within. Much lesser imperfections of coz. I'm in awe.
Nowadays, I'm more readily to face the world with my naked face.. :p
The session ends with a cup of hot tea.
