Have you decided on your beauty resolutions? Nevertheless, we all need that much needed bespoke facial tailored to our skin types before we say goodbye to 2019
Don’t get me wrong, the festive period is the most wonderful time of the year. But in between balancing work and personal commitments (reunion gatherings and parties, you get the drift), I noticed lately that stress was showing on my face in the form of dry and dull skin, as well as breakouts.
So, before the year ended, I arranged for a much-needed facial pampering at Porcelain in Paragon. Booking was a breeze (you can call or book online), and before my appointment, I was asked what my most pressing concerns were—dry skin, pimples and acne marks. I was recommended the signature Sun Rescue facial to hydrate and repair my skin and achieve that healthy glow. Here’s how my experience went.

The Welcome
My treatment began with a personalised consultation with their trained therapists. Using the latest technology from Korea, they evaluated my skin condition through the following factors: moisture vs. sebum level, pores, wrinkles, acne and skin age, among others.
Even with my regular skincare routine that involves daily cleansing, using toner and moisturiser, the results weren’t good. My forehead and cheeks were extremely dry (I was told my skin age was five years older than me), my pores were slightly enlarged, and I had stubborn acne spots that just wouldn’t go away. Which was why my therapist further personalised my Sun Rescue treatment, to help tackle these problems.
