I went to the SKII counter at Gardens Midvalley last week for a skin consultation session.
This be me telling Christina my lifestyle of staying up late, drinking, and partying :p
Horrific for my skin, i know.
I’m super lucky i have such clear skin despite occasionally falling asleep with my make up on >.<
Christina asked what products i’m currently using, including whether i use eye cream.
I sheepishly answered that i always forget to use my eye cream.
However, QueenKanch did mention to me yesterday that my under eye lines have reduced
(woman was the first person to point out my lines last time -_-)
and i think because it’s lack of stress
Christina then shared some of the SK-II star products with me and I tested out some of the products, including the legendary Miracle water.
Then we went to the SK-II machine, know as the VISA machine, which uses light to detect your skin’s condition at depth for a thorough understanding of your skin ad products suited for it.
That’s me looking slightly skeptical.
I really must learn to stop frowning unintentionally…
(Got it from my father :p) It’ll give me more lines!
Was asked to shut my eyes during the process where the light flashes brightly.
During then, my mind wandered to WHAT IF i opened my eyes, would i go blind? Would it be painful? Would i sue SK-II?
Ok crazy ramble over.
It was really cool, i must say.
The machine photographed my skin to detect the damage on
– UV spots
– brown spots
– pores
– wrinkles
– texture
and the damage area on my cheeks were highlighted
I got 99% for ‘Wrinkles’ and ‘Texture’
and was told that means i’m in the top 1% for skin condition
But got 97% for ‘Pores’, so gotta work on that somehow
After that, another small machine known as the skin phone was used to lightly clip my skin to test elasticity and wrinkles, measured in SPQ levels.
Conclusion:
My skin is kinda dry so really must put more effort in hydrating masks
to retain its condition.
There really is no such thing as turning back time,
so the best is to maintain what i have now!
I’m facing reality here.
I’m 26 and my skin is gonna go downhill all the way if i don’t take care of it!
I left with some samples of SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (toner)
& Facial Treatment Essence (which i dab on before i apply moisturizer) to try.
Been putting it on diligently every day in Bangkok,
and i’m waiting to see the miracle that every one talks about happen.
Pitera, the substance found in SK-II products, are the stuff of LEGEND.
Did you know:
Pitera was first discovered when they noticed how the hands of sake brewery workers were extraordinarily soft and youthful, despite their faces (due to being elderly) had pronounced wrinkles.
After a series of experiments, skincare scientists discovered the secret – Pitera – a clear, nutrient-rich liquid.
Pitera is known to
help adjust the skin’s rhythm,
replenish and retain moisture,
tone skin texture,
adjust pH levels,
control the generation of dark spots,
soothe sunburned skin
and helps control the secretion of sebum.
If you’re curious, go get your skin photographed at the SK-II counter!
