Your Asian Skin Solution!

Advertorial

The largest and most visible organ on our body is our skin, which is why we need to take superb care of it!!

That's why I was happy when Asian Skin Solutions asked me if I would like to try out their O2 Peel Rejuvenation Facial Treatment!!

(Never too early to start to look good for my wedding teeheehee)



Ok this photo looks more artistic:

Asian Skin Solutions is specially tailored to Asian females, and that's why before my facial treatment, all sorts of questions were asked so that they can better known my skin and give the best sort of treatment to me!

Questions such as the my lifestyle, environmental conditions etc. :D

After my analysis and consultation, I was led into their rooms... Located conveniently at Orchard Central (that's the mall next to 313), they have a spacious corrider at the back where all the treatment rooms are!

The comfy bed I fell asleep on later. -_-



And here I am before the treatment!!
I have no foundation on so you can see all my skin's flaws.



Ok lah here's a clearer view of my face!! I got shitloads of tiny zits on my forehead!



The first step is Double Cleansing!



It's shiok!!!

Anyway there are 8 steps in total.

Second step is the O2 Peel, then the X-lotion Steam!



Here's the bubbling water in the machine for the X-lotion Steam.

At this point I already felt that my skin was super refreshed and light!

Step 4 is Extraction, which is the most unpleasant part of any facials...

Using tools (like metal tools), the therapist will extract clogged white heads/black heads etc from your skin, and squeeze zits! Oh my poor forehead.

Luckily, this process wasn't that painful because the steam already softened my skin and loosened the pores.

It's necessary though coz in the long term clogged pores do bad things to your skin!

Next my therapist did step 5: O2 Spray!

It was very fun coz a jet of pure oxygen was sprayed on my skin!! Very cooling and nice after the extraction. The stream of oxygen was very intense and I imagined all my dead skin cells flying off. LOL!!

Step 6 was a Facial Massage and I could feel myself nodding off... It was so shiok.

And then for Step 7: Double Mask!!!

The therapist spread a super thick and cool paste on my face and zzzzz I have no idea what happened after that coz I fell asleep. Hahaha!

And done!! HAHAHA! My face!

Now for the last step which is my favourite: SHOULDER MASSAGE!!!

Enjoy maximum!!

And this is my AFTER!!

Skin is definitely more glowy and brightened. Totally feels silky smooth, baby-soft and QQ!! It is super hydrated and luminous. :D


After being a satisfied client, I still had presents!! Mad shiok!!

Asian Skin Solutions showed me some of their products, the DK1 line, which is only available with them and nowhere else.

I was given the Dual Revitalize Cleanser (tallest bottle at $98)...

What can I say? Awesome cleanser! Smells very, erm, I guess the only word to describe it is LUXURIOUS!!

After I use it I feel I should use an expensive body wash too. Hahaha!!

The texture is very viscous and smooth. Can be used as a make up remover too!

DK1 Skin Energizing Booster and H20 Lift

The booster is a great serum that will provide immediate lifting effect and help lock in moisture!

The H20 Lift is an excellent moisturizer with the ability to hold 50 times of water to its mass!! What the! Why so amazing one?

Vita Mineral Block 60! ($128)

Sunblock with SPF 60!! It simulates "collagen synthesis", which I have no idea is what but it sounds good.

The texture is very light - water based and not sticky!! If you are looking for the perfect sunblock, can give this a try!

Sunday Sweets: Alice in Wonderland

In honor of the impending movie, some curiously wonderful Wonderland Sweets:

Love the heart sprinkles, and that pocket watch is perfect!

The cutest card soldier you'll ever see.

More lovable characters:

I've had a soft spot for the Queen of Hearts ever since John and I made elaborate Queen & cards costumes one year for Halloween. (We roped a gaggle of guys into going as cards, too, so we made quite the impression marching en masse through Disney.) So naturally, I had to find some Queen cakes:

Such great detailing!

And here's the classic Disney version:

One of my favorite characters in the Disney film was the talking doorknob, so I love this:

What a cute cookie!

And lastly, a fan favorite from the CW archives:

Spa Girl says everyone should visit VANCOUVER!

Anitra Brown says I've been watching the Olympics and have been blown away by how gorgeous Vancouver is. I've never been there, in part because I have a fantastic contributor, Sue Frause, who has written several articles on spas in Vancouver, including a piece on the best day spas in Vancouver and reviews on The Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Empress, Poet's Cove Resort & Spa, Brentwood Bay Lodge & Spa and Kingfisher Oceanside Resort. Vancouver is officially on my "to-do" list now!

Latest fashion updates

(Picture: Juana de Arco's show at the Buenos Aires fashion week. Via event's website.) The latest edition of the Buenos Aires Fashion Week (which took place from August 20 to 21) showed more environmental awareness than its predecessor, the winter edition (which we covered in the post Buenos Aires Fashion Week Winter 2008).

While at the runway shows two brands had some kind of green in their collections, in the showroom area the Metropolitan Design Center presented a two week event about sustainable design to be held in the city in October. Find out more in the extended.

Green Fashion at Buenos Aires Fashion Week Runway Shows

Cotton was the theme for this edition of the city's most important event dedicated to fashion, and the label Juana de Arco decided to bet on pure organic and environmental motives.

Characterized by crazy prints and mix-and-match patchwork garments, the label conducted by Mariana Cortés presented its collection Agua viva (which translates into something like 'living water'). The show was inspired in natural resources, with all garments produced with organic cotton and embroidered images of fish, sea horses and flowers in some of the pieces.

Ona Saez, a well known Argentine retail brand, was the other label related to green. In this season, the brand continues with its campaign to offer green tips through a line or t-shirts and in their clothes' tags. Although an engagement with greener materials would be better, we give them credit for trying to educate the consumer.

Sustainable Design Week in Buenos Aires

Another novelty of this season's fashion week was the presentation of the event Integrando al Futuro (which translates to 'integrating the future'), organized by the Metropolitan Design Center.

With a series of activities that will take place in October and November, the event looks to educate consumers on the effects of consume and production in the environment.

On October 24 and 25, the organism will organize conferences to treat subjects such as sustainable design, corporate responsibility and fair trade. Then, from October 26 until November 9, the center is organizing an exhibition in a series of design stores in Palermo, in which designers will be developing products with their own waste and showing them in their shop windows. Then, from November 17 to 28, there will be a series of workshops about re-utilization of waste from the stockings industry.

The call for designers who want to participate in this activity opens in September. More information via phone: 5411 4126 2984/2989. The published e-mail of the center for this activity doesn't work yet: integrandoalfuturo at cmd dot org dot ar.

Accompanying the announcement, the center presented the work of two designers working with recovered materials; both known to TreeHugger: Minima Huella and Gruba.
