Beauty Review_One-Stop Beauty Heaven At Skinz Heritage_IPL & Slimming Treatments

Hi everyone! I'm finally back on my blog after 2 weeks of MIA-ing b'cuz I've been really really busy with my fitness classes, blogger commitments as well as Mummy duties. For those of you who don't know me yet, Hello to you.. *waving*! I am a Mummy blogger to 2 beautiful girls and I teach Pre & Postnatal Aerobics. With such a hectic schedule I usually like to plan my appointments back-to-back hoping to save time. Moms you would understand me b'cuz some of us wouldn't even have any time to even get ourselves groomed at all, right? So of course when I found out that Skinz Heritage could provide me with a one-stop solution to all my beauty needs, that totally rocked my world. 

Skinz Heritage is located in the heart of Orchard Road and they are also one of the few beauty salons in Singapore that provides customised treatments by using both Traditional Chinese Medicine methods as well as the use of latest machines and high end beauty products formulated in USA. 

When I first got to Skinz Heritage the beauty salon felt really cosy on a weekday afternoon. I guess that's probably b'cuz I chose a day and time particularly to avoid all the town crowd which I'd normally prefer. The staff was friendly and greeted me with a warm smile and red date tea was served to accompany while she did a consultation to find out & understand my needs. We spent some time chatting about my problem areas and I was recommended an Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Treatment for my hairy arms & legs followed by the Anti-Cellulite Slimming Treatment to help my postpartum body get back in shape.

See this was what I meant by cosy. A nice sized room with the warm and private feeling. So nice & relaxing for me to get my treatments done when Mummy duties are off. Was there for both treatments like for a good 4 hours? I even had the time to do my 'Moo Duties' expressing breast milk in the room privately. Thanks for the extra service provided!

Since I booked my slot in advance I got the Queen treatment of getting my IPL done by 2 very friendly and professional staff - super pampered can! 

OMG look at my VERY hairy arm and leg! AGhhhh!?! The above was my arm before the IPL treatment and the bottom was my calve. I did EPL (Energy Pulse Light) Treatment 2 years ago at some other beauty salon but the hairs were never gone permanently, don't ask me why.. I did hear that the hormones during our pregnancy stimulates hair growth? I have no idea!? Anyway the previous EPL treatments did lessen the growth on my thighs and calves but my arms were still as hairy. I couldn't do any light treatment during pregnancy so this time continuing with a new series of IPL treatments postpartum! Hairs be gone!!

Procedures Of The Treatment

First the hairs were removed by shaving, then a light device used to emit light onto the areas to be treated, and finally ending with a mask which helps to sooth the skin & promote whitening. The treatment itself was painless but felt warm on certain areas. I think the higher the light power is turned on to the more you'd be able to feel so it really depends on how much hair and how much light you'd need. 

How Long Does Each Session Take?

Typically for upper lip or chin, only 5 minutes is needed. Underarms usually takes 10-15 minutes. And for arms/legs, it can take from 20-40 minutes.

Suitable For

Anyone who desires to have hair-free and smooth skin. Sorry preggy Mummies, you'd only be able to do this after delivery. And its definitely safe for breastfeeding Moms!

After completing my IPL Treatment, I was treated to a nice belly massage using accupoint techniques to help soften the collection of fat in the area. The massage was a good 10 minutes using anti-cellulite oils to go over my belly helping to break down the stubborn pregnancy belly fats which I still had even at 4 months postpartum. The treatment was relaxing and painless I almost fell asleep!

Benefits Of Accupoints Massage

• soften stubborn fats thus promoting easier fat loss
• ease menstrual pain
• helps the womb to shrink in size (for postpartum Mummies)
• promotes healthy digestive system

To end of the slimming treatment, a hard clay mask was applied on my belly. The mask gave off a warming sensation in the beginning then cooled down to a hard cast which was fun for me to feel. (Okay that's not the point, but it was nice to touch.. hahaha)... The warmth from the mask was really comfortable I felt really good during the treatment. 

Suitable For

Anyone who desires to have cellulite-free and firmer skin. The treatment is usually performed on the belly, hips and thigh areas. Again this treatment is suitable for breastfeeding Moms, preggy Mummies be good.. You can pamper yourself after baby is out!

For both the IPL & Anti-Cellulite Slimming Treatments, a good 8-10 sessions will be minimally best for effective results. But of course the results are subjected to individual, depending on the amount of hairs you have or the fats you have. The more (hairs/fats) you have the more treatments you'd probably require.

So do drop by Skinz Heritage if these treatments are something you'd like to try out, b'cuz Skinz Heritage is holding a special promotion only for my readers!! Hehe.

Beauty Brand Review Part 2_SkinCeuticals_The Best Antioxidant Skincare Brand

Hi lovelies, if you remembered months back I shared about this top-notch skincare brand, SkinCeuticals, which is a brand that carries advanced skincare products backed by science and their mission is to help improve skin health. Their skincare products are made in USA and are clinically proven to perform and deliver results. If you haven’t heard of SkinCeuticals are wondering why their products are so effective, that’s because SkinCeuticals’ products are formulated by scientists after years of skin research. SkinCeuticals’ products are also mainly used by dermatologists, aesthetic doctors and media-spas for daily homecare purposes as well as to complement aesthetics procedures.

Today I would like to share more about SkinCeuticals' best-selling products from the antioxidant skincare range.

Let me introduce you to 5 products in their antioxidants category – 3 day serums, 1 gel and 1 night serum. The day serums are C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF, Phloretin CF Gel and Serum 10, while the night serum is the Resveratrol B E. The different antioxidant serums are catered for different skin types and needs based on the ingredients that they are formulated with.

Each of these antioxidants from SkinCeuticals have been proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and improve skin laxity, and by neutralizing free radicals and stimulating collagen production. If you have not read my previous blog post sharing about why antioxidants are so important, please click here to find out!

Right now I am using the Serum 10 as my day prevention serum. It combines 10% L-ascorbic acid (also known as pure Vitamin C) with Ferulic Acid to provide antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, through neutralising free radicals this defending against environmental damage
• Deliver pure Vitamin C to the skin in concentrations shown to be effective for skin healing
• Provide protection against premature skin aging effects
• If you’re a first time user of antioxidant treatments, the Serum 10 would make an excellent product to try because of its lower concentration of Vitamin C.
  
  

*For more details please visit: http://www.skinceuticals.sg/Antioxidants/Serum-10/

For night use I am using Resveratrol B E for repair. This is a concentrated night time antioxidant with pure resveratrol to reveal visible radiance and firmness the next morning.

• Neutralize free radicals and strengthens skin’s natural antioxidant defenses,
• Diminish visible signs of aging,
• For those with normal, dry, combination or sensitive skin, this product is great for you!

*For more details please visit: http://www.skinceuticals.sg/Antioxidants/Resveratrol-B-E/

My daily regimen in the day
1. CLEANSE & TONE.
2. PREVENT WITH Serum 10 (protective antioxidant).
3. CORRECT (hydration serum).
4. MOISTURIZE (moisturizer).
5. PROTECT (sunblock).

In the morning after cleansing, apply 4-5 drops to a dry face, neck and chest. I complete my skincare regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. When used together, SkinCeuticals antioxidants and sunscreens provide the most complete protection against visible aging caused by environmental aggressors such as pollution and the sun’s harmful rays.

The Serum 10 has a watery consistency which is light and fast-absorbent for day use. Use it after cleansing and before thicker serums and/or moisturizer then finally top with a sunscreen for total protection. The Serum 10 has a slight coffee scent to it, totally perks me up in the mornings.

Did you know? Anything that emits light and/or heat gives off UV rays and radiation (I didn't!!)? I've shared this in my last post before but have to share it again b'cuz I think it's something not alot of us are aware of! In short, it means that its essential to protect your skin even though you are largely indoors and even at night. I bet most of you didn't know that right? 

My daily regimen at night
1. CLEANSE & TONE.
2. PREVENT WITH Resveratrol B E (repairing antioxidant).
3. CORRECT (hydration serum).
3.1. CORRECT (pigmentation corrector).
4. MOISTURIZE (moisturizer).

In the evening after cleansing, apply 2-3 pumps to a dry face, neck and chest. The Resveratrol B E helps repair my skin at night and prevent accumulated damage, letting me wake up with firm and radiant skin.

The Resveratrol B E antioxidant night concentrate is thicker compared to the Serum 10 and has a gel-like texture. The scent is really light and slightly citrusy which is calming to use and again very fast absorbent. After cleansing I use this night antioxidant followed by my hydration serum and a moisturiser, my skin feels well hydrated and supple, all ready for the night. When I get up from bed, my skin still feels supple without being oily and that's something I really like about. 

I've been using skincare products from SkinCeuticals for months now and my experience with them has been great so far! Everything just feels so luxurious when applied to my face and I feel so pampered with every use. Definitely looking forward to greater skin with SkinCeuticals! Do stay tuned for more reviews on other popular skincare products from SkinCeuticals.
