Thinking of getting a facial anytime soon? Not sure where to go and which facial to get? I get it. We’re women and we’re spoilt for choice. The last place was great but our skin needs a new boost. I was in the same predicament not too long ago so I decided to take a chance on SkinLab. Initially I was worried about the hard sell tactics I would have to face but a ‘glow’ was long overdue and I was willing to face anything. No pun intended.

My facial was scheduled on a Thursday afternoon which was perfect for me. When I arrived, there was some confusion but thankfully it was resolved quickly and soon after I was brought into my treatment room . I liked that there was no pushing for me to get any add-ons before we got the started. The sweetest beautician attended to me. She ran through the available promotional options and recommended the Gentle Milk Peel which is a mild peeling system is designed to help you achieve clearer, brighter and smoother skin, easily and effectively. It utilises lactic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk and fruits.

BENEFITS OF THE GENTLE MILK PEEL

• Lactic acid prepares skin for a smoother extraction
• Lightens skin dullness
• Sloughs away dead skin cells
• Moisturises skin for a supple touch

TREATMENT STEPS:

• Welcome head massage
• Double cleansing
• Gentle steaming with pure milk proteins and lactic contents
• Eyebrow shaping (optional)
• Professional extraction
• Face massage
• Mask application
• Sunblock/Night Protect application

SAFETY

Lactic acid is one of the gentlest AHAs around and is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, even sensitive skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea. As a humectant, lactic acid does not dry the skin like other AHAs.

With a strict doctor-developed protocol, professionally trained therapists and consultants, our Gentle Milk Peel can safely lighten skin dullness, remove dead skin cells and moisturise skin.

Their consultants will take the time to discuss whether your goals and expectations for the treatment are realistic, and also discuss with you all our Gentle Milk Peel benefits and risks.

With the new year comes being a year older and with that comes a certain level of anxiety. While it may not mean much when you’re 18 or 25, it starts to have more of an impact once you hit 35 AND you’re a woman. I hate admitting it but I’ve found freedom in verbalizing my fears, one of them being the woes of aging. I truly dread the day my wrinkles start to show and my skin starts to sag. I won’t make any apology for sounding superficial because you & I both know that we all have the same fear even if we differ in our approach to addressing it. It’s there. It exist.

I know of some who decide to go on and on about growing old and the ailments that come with it. I know of some who truly believe that age is just a number and act whichever number they resonate with most. And then there’s ME. I fall somewhere in between, where I’ve come to accept that I am getting older yet I still haven’t found the need to turn into a granny just yet. I am on a mission to look as young as I can for as long as I can and if you are too, then follow me.

So what do I do now that it’s 2018 and I’ve about to turn (not telling you)? I use whatever anti-aging weapons that are available to me. My favourite weapon TODAY being the SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Serum.
You may wonder how my relationship with SkinCeuticals began. Well, here’s the short version. I’d been using Clarins, Lancome, Kiehls, Loccitane, Avene, just to name a few, eons ago. And while all these products have done me well, SkinCeuticals blew em all out the water.

I have dark skin and although that comes with certain benefits, most of us tend to have hyperpgimentation, uneven skintones, light coloured patches here and there and dark patches on our chins etc. And unlike women with light skin, we aren’t spoilt for choice in the cosmetics department. Covering up our flaws while maintaining a radiant glow is an arduous task. Most of us tend to look grey even with colour correctors and bronzers. And this is exactly the reason why focussing on SKINCARE, as opposed to the best concealor in the market, is key.

Think about it this way. Even if we did master the art of perfect makeup for our skintone, we’d still be miserable when the foundations, blushers and powders come off. Which woman does not mind looking bad without her makeup on? NONE! I like to see my skin looking bright and my skintone even, when my makeup’s off. I love not having to hate looking in the mirror at night before I go to bed or in the morning when I wake up. Hence my search for the perfect serum began from the moment I turned 35. Through all that filtering, googling, shopping, speaking to beauticians and skin therapists, I learned that Vitamin C is a superstar for its proven antioxidant properties and that a good serum with vitamin C will make all the difference. Hence I was fortunate to finally find and fall in love with SKINCEUTICALS PHLORETIN CF 7 months ago. My skin has become visibly more even, supple and certainly younger looking. Dolling myself up takes less effort and the BEST part, I can now leave the house with practically nothing on my face and still be told I have great skin!!!

A friend once said to me that when you have something good in hand, the right thing to do is to share it. So I’ve decided to share this remarkable find with you.

The best gift you can give yourself this holiday is the power to FORGIVE. Forgive everyone for everything, yourself included. Why? Because even one resentment, is one too many.

The iconic foundation base by CHANEL, a cult favorite with professional makeup artists. Magical, it instantly illuminates the complexion with a subtle halo of light and perfectly evens out the skin’s texture.

I woke up today to a text from a friend informing me about an ADULT humiliating a youth on his Facebook page. I don’t want to get into the details of the incident because I’d be calling Mr Big Bully out which would make me just like him, but I do what to talk about the Cyber-STUPID of the world.
