Aster Spring BSC

I've been Dermalogica's loyal customer since I was in school. Form 4 to be exact.

Growing up, as a teenager with hormones all over the place, I didnt have flawless skin. I wouldnt say I had bad skin but it certainly wasnt good either. I had the occasional breakouts and whatnot..but it wasnt too bad.

Dermalogica was my playing ground. I would go for facial, well...probably once every few months. Not too often because I didnt really need to.

After I came back from UK (after being there for about 8 years), coming back to the hot humid weather of KL, my skin became somewhat out of control. Nothing was working for me. Whilst I was in UK, I tried all sorts of brands too because where I lived, it was rather impossible to find a place where I can easily get Dermalogica products. I tried all sorts of different brands...from the cheap ones to a much more expensive ones..but none of them worked.

I tried SKII and it didnt work on me - although I know a lot of my friends swear by it.

So after neglecting Dermalogica for a few years...I went back to it and it is now called Aster Spring.
Their newly renovated spa/salon is really nice. Located on the 2nd floor of Bangsar Shopping Centre.

My skin went from bad to flawless within a few months. I have never looked back. They have good customer service and fantastic therapist to help you.

Since I consider myself a regular...I've decided to get one of packages they offer

I think it is worth it! Pay RM3000 and you get products and services worth more than RM5000! I plan to go for facial 2wice a month. Now that Im a lot older, I need more help!

Neglect?

I admit I've been neglecting this blog - I've not been to any new spas lately, which is pissing me off cuz I never have the time to go anymore.

This is bad. I must go and do some pampering soon.

Although it's been rather quiet on this blog, I must say that I still do some maintenance work.
What's that?

Maintenance work involves:

- weekly (at least once a week) reflexology at either Sifu in Bangsar, Sri Petaling place or the place in Sg.Wang
- 2wice a month facial at Dermalogica, BSC
- Back massage at Sam Reflexology

the above is compulsory. It's not me if I dont do the above. So, there you go, it's not that I've been neglecting this or havent been pampering myself - I have..but it's at my usual place so there's not much to blog about.
Obviously they're all good that's why I go there on a regular basis.

I need to find out more spas to go to in KL....

I'll be in Bangkok again this weekend (for fun) and I will make sure I try few new places..

Facial

I’ve been interested in beauty products since I was in primary school. I started young in this area. I remember when I was a kid still, my mum used to tell me about what to do and how to look after my skin and all that. She doesn’t practice it tho!

I tried all sort of products from the cheapest, to the most expensive ones. So far, nothing suits my skin better than Dermalogica products. I do mix and match with some other products too. While I was in uni, for some reason, my skin weren’t that good. I tried all sorts but nothing used to work until I found a place in Cardiff that sells Dermalogica products. I’ve been using this since I was 16 so I know it works on me but yet, I still like to try other products too. I just want to see if I can find something better.

When I came back from UK, my skin couldn’t take the sudden change in weather and it became really really bad. I was so ugly!!!
I tried going for facial at a few places….

1.New York Skin Solution – this was the worst out of all that I’ve tried. The facial itself was ok. It was 2 hours or more and I really felt pampered but after the facial, I got more breakouts and it was really bad. I also didn’t like the staff there pushing and kind of forcing me to sign up for a package which was over 3000bucks. I told them I’d think about it but they kept bugging and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I even said I didn’t bring my credit card and they wanted to escort me to a cash point. Crazy. I never went back there. Especially since the product obviously didn’t work on me.

2.CN Beauty in Bangar – This was quite alright actually. I had a good facial. I was introduced to the hot stone therapy during the facial and absolutely loved it.

3.Cant remember but its in Amcorp Mall– It was recommended to me by a friend but somehow it wasn’t as nice as I’d like it to be. I never went back but they’ve been sending me regular sms’es whenever there is a promotion and I find it to be so damn irritating. I told them to take me out from the list but sms kept coming.

And then I had enough…

So I went back to Dermalogica and been there since.

I go for facial every 3 weeks at the Leonard Drake in Bangsar Shopping Centre.
Price is alright. Still affordable. They will call you one day before your appointment to remind you of the appointment. They’re quite good.
The only thing is, everytime you go there, it’s a different therapist. I would prefer if it was the same person so that she knows your skin and if your skin is better since the last facial. Right now they do keep a record but if it was the same person then they’ll know your skin better.



I don’t have flawless skin. How I wish. But it’s ok.

Products I use:

1.Cleanser – Dermalogica, Essential Cleansing Solution.
2.Toner – Dermalogica, Multi Active Toner
3.Moisterizer – SKII, Facial Lift Emulsion
4.SKII, Facial Treatment Essence (Don’t know what its for but apparently it’s good so I’m trying it out now!)
5.For spots – Dermalogica, Gentle Soothing Booster (highly recommended!)
6.Scrub – St. Ives, Apricot Scrub
7.Day Eye Cream – Dermalogica, Total Eye Care with spf15
8.Night Eye Cream – St. Ives, Eye Stress Gel


So far both the eye cream is not working very well for me. I’m thinking of changing but I don’t know to which one.

That’s it. That’s how I stay pretty 
