Wow I’m really getting up in the world wtf.

Mummy Ooi was very diligent when I was growing up in making sure I took indisputably good care of my skin. She introduced me to the world of cleansers, toners, moisturizer, serums, eye creams…

And to the world of my aunt who’s 60 now but looks 40 thanks to the care (and money) she lavishes on her face wtf.

So yes I think I’m quite well versed in skincare.

But I’ve never done a facial in my 25 years of life *ashamed

Actually no la but my skin has always been quite ok – no acne breakouts no oily face enough to fry eggs on wtf.

So I’ve never looked closely at what a facial is about also. I always thought it’s about removing blackheads and you get smooth skin after wtf but my skin is dry and I’ll probably develop fine lines soon. But there’s more to it than that!

Skin 11 at Berjaya Times Square! The venue of my coming of age wtf. Mizuage wtf.

I was here to do a review of Skin 11’s skincare programs 😀

The interior.

Warm lighting with classy silver shelves and products on display.

Quite excited about my first facial! But also apprehensive cos I heard they could be painful..

(but got tea some more! I love it when I get free tea WTF)

But the beautician in charge of me was very nice and professional! Her name is Janet and when you first go in they’ll sit you down for a skin consultation first to gauge what your skin issues are.

Anyway at first she greeted me in Mandarin. I replied her in Cantonese (whatever I know of it anyway) and when she sat me down for her consultation she started explaining in Cantonese also FML!

After some confusion on her part that I actually don’t speak Cantonese (*fails as Chinese) she switched to English and Hokkien wtf damn linguistically capable lor.

Anyway she proposed to put me on the Skin 11 Meso Channel Bio Treatment.

In layman terms (cos my head was spinning around trying to turn around the concepts) our skin has several layers which make up the epidermis and dermis.

When we moisturize, the moisture only reaches the top layers of the skin and doesn’t penetrate deep inside.

See? Wtf. 0.03-1% absorption only.

So this is where the Meso Channel treatment comes in.

Meso uses a micro needle therapy to create sort of passageways through your skin so nutrients can penetrate through giving your skin the moisture and goodness it needs.

Also, the microneedles simulate “injuries” that awaken the skin’s natural immune functions and boost collagen production and new cell generation.

After the microneedle session, serums are applied on your skin for them to absorb thoroughly in. These were the serums they applied.

To end it all they slap this masque on you containing all sorts of good things wtf.

Totally what I need cos my skin is dry. All you oily skin girls don’t know how good you have it wtf because you’ll always look young!

Anyway this was my room! For a few hours that is.

Soft lighting, very soothing instrumental music…very comfy bed and covers!! I think I drifted in and out of consciousness wtf.

Made me change into this robe cos they were going to do neck and shoulder massage too.

See ah this is my skin before. And this is with foundation ok! And taken 1-2 years ago SIGH so it’s probably worse now. See the fine lines around my eyes and mouth T____T I totally lied when I said I’ll develop fine lines soon actually I already have them T_______T

Bloody hate this photo (no ugly women only lazy ones!!!) but this is the only way to show you the after treatment.

You really can’t tell in the photo la but when I put up the lights and peered into a mirror my face did look more chubby bouncy supple and when I smiled, the lines weren’t as defined either! Actually bouncy is the word – it looked bouncy. Like you could bounce a penny off my face wtf.

After pictures! I upped the sharpness on this one on purpose so you can see my skin properly -_-

To be honest there is still a smile line around my mouth/nose. I like to think its because I laugh a lot wtf. But it is quite reduced, as well as the lines around my eyes!

I walked around Times Square patting my face cos it was so firm and supple WTF.

Should have taken picture with Janet cos she was so helpful and obliging! She explained every single thing to me (cos I noob), even the difference between this Meso Channel treatment and regular facials.

She told me that my skin is really quite dry lo. And that I have fine lines (basically everything I said before was learned from her)

Then when she did the facial for me she explained every step and what she was applying all very friendly and nice!

She was very gentle to me too. The microneedle therapy can be a teeny bit painful (if you have low pain tolerance like me) but it was still less painful than blackhead extraction and she was so good that I fell asleep during the needle part of it WTF.

And she also made me two cups of tea ok wtf.
