Pamper your skin

So, lately I've been getting way too conscious with my skin. As age is catching up, I know that I will age faster if I did not start taking care of it. I do not have a proper skin care regime, blame it on my laziness. Fine lines around my eyes, dark circle, eye puffiness, skin discoloration and dry skin. If you had not seen problematic skin, you should probably take a look at me.

Because of this, I tried several skincare products, which obviously proved to be useless. Blah~ And then, I decided that I should pamper myself and tried facial, well, in the heartland of Jurong.

Now, one thing I hate about going to a facial salon, is definitely the pushy staffs. Seriously, it feels like they are more interested in earning commission, than to deal with your face. Secondly, the aftermath. Geez... Who love a red face after a pampering session? Definitely not me! Due to these, I became skeptical whenever I read reviews or advertisment of how XXX facial can help to improve skin condition. Now don't get me wrong. These facials that I tried, did help to improve my skin condition, but not much. So tell me, why should I pay $1000++ for a package that does not to improve my skin?

After doing lotsa research, Ucara spa caught my attention. There were lots of good reviews about it, and there was a trial package for just $59 for first timer. This trial includes a facial (which they claim is painless) and tummy slimming and detox.

Made an appointment with them, and I must say, I am really IMPRESSED! In fact, I was sold. Never have I felt so pampered in a facial session and got myself totally convinced to get myself a package.

The staffs there were really friendly and they gave thorough explanations about what they are about to do. And the amazing part is, I felt so comfortable during the extraction of black and white heads. Read this: NO PAIN. Before the facial starts, they used a skin analyzer to analyze my skin, and explained to me the condition of my skin. Then I proceeded into the room which has a Zen feel, and that makes you feel really comfortable immediately. Cleansing process was rather standard. I was only excited about the extraction of blackhead part. Was pretty sure that it will definitely be painful (I wanna prove them wrong). So the time finally came and they used a kind of machine to extract it out, and at the end of it, you get to see the amount of dirt which was removed. Good riddance!

Alas, I was proven wrong. Besides that,their facial massage was extremely soothing, I could just fall asleep right there.

The tummy slimming and detox is not too bad either. The staff applied the contents of an ampoule on my stomach and then a layer of mask, and wrapped my stomach firmly using clingwrap. Experienced slight warmth (which leads me into thinking that the product is definitely working). After the mask was removed, a massage was done to help remove flatus. Again, the therapist did not fail to explain to me the rationale of each steps done.

When both the tummy slimming and facial was done, I was treated with a fantastic shoulder and neck massage. Really, I've never been this pampered.

Sad to say, I experienced slight itchiness after the facial. That of course stopped me from signing a package with them. The therapist went to cleanse my face again, and applied a cream to soothe the itchiness. Thank God the itchiness improved after I went home.

Now, I'm wondering if I should sign their package? Hmm... For 10 sessions of facial, it cost $888. Pretty affordable. Shall give myself some time to think about it.
