Oxygenating Facial Treatment at D’Skin

Do you guys still remember my post on Launch of D’Skin’s MIRA Skincare that I blogged about just last month?

I booked my appointment with d'skin to try out their facial treatment, thanks d'skin for the complimentary facial. Been undergoing lots of stress lately and my skin was in a terrible condition. Finally my exam was over, it's time to book my appointment for a pampering facial treatment.

We all want to look be at our best condition during this festive season.

Currently, d'skin has 4 outlets in Singapore. I visited the outlet at Heartland Mall Level 2 which is near Kovan MRT station.

Upon stepping in d'skin, the staff ushered me to a seat and hand me a form to fill up my particular.

At the same time, the staff also placed my belongings in the locker and handed me the key. Hot tea was served too.

Before the start of facial, d’skin will access our skin and recommend the type of treatment that suit our skin. The therapist measure my skin condition using Soft Plus machine to track your hydration level, skin elasticity, sebum and etc.

My result showed that I was experiencing dehydrated skin and the sebum at my forehead area was relatively low. As such, the therapist recommended Oxygenating Facial Treatment (S$198) for me.

Oxygen is the most necessary element to the human body. Without the right amount of oxygen, we will be more vulnerable to premature ageing and other skin problems such as decreased hydration, decreased cellular turnover etc. Hence, we need more oxygen to combat the environmental pollutants that can harm our skin.

Oxygen therapy is a rejuvenating treatment for dehydrated and tired skin. It helps to strengthen skin’s elasticity and help eliminate acne-causing bacteria, even out skin tone, and diminish pores. 

Wow, this treatment has everything I need.

d'skin was awarded Spa Awards 2015 by Women's Weekly. Can't wait to try out the treatment but the therapists were getting ready the room for me.

Removed my sneakers and changed into slippers .

Changed into the tube gown and getting ready for the pampering treatment.

Lying down on the comfortable bed for the next 2 hours. Oxygenating Facial Treatment is about 2 hours long. They placed a pillow at the end of the bed for us to rest our legs on, the thick blanket provided warm and comfort throughout the treatment.

It was really comfortable with the dim lighting and soothing music, as if it was preparing me for sleep.

Prior to every procedures done, my therapist will explain to me what she will be doing to prep me.
First step was to remove makeup using cleansing oil. The cleansing oil has a pleasant scent that smell good. Next up was facial cleansing to remove impurities left on our skin.

After which was steaming which helped to open up pores for easy extraction. A layer of cream was applied and towel to cover my eyes during steaming. The warmth produced during steaming soothe my skin and I felt really calmed. Totally relaxed and enjoyed every procedure so far.

Extraction was something I don't enjoyed during the whole treatment. My body become alert and tensed up, I become wide awake then. The process was painful, partly because I have many clogged pores and whiteheads. I could feel warmth releasing from my skin, my skin must be experiencing redness at the moment. Nevertheless, I managed to endure through this.

The painful part was over, I felt relieved and relaxed again. After extraction, the therapist used a device to soothe my skin and prevent inflammation. 

Sheet mask was applied to cool down the redness of my skin.

Another therapist took over after the mask application to trim my eyebrows. 

Next was the highlight of the treatment - Oxyjet.
This was the part I enjoyed the most. A device that pumped cool air over my face, super comfortable and cooling. Totally enjoyed it.

Mask time again. The therapist applied serum on my skin and net over my face, followed by applying layer of masque over the net. 

During the mask time, the therapist did not leave the room. Instead, she gave me a good head, neck and shoulder massage. Wow, I could feel the tension being eased away and stiff muscles being kneaded. So relaxing. I must say at certain points, I experienced a mild discomfort when pressure was applied, but still bearable for me. If you find the pressure too hard, do let the therapist knows.

Immediately after the treatment, I could feel my skin glowed with radiance and hydrated. It was soft upon touch and my clogged pores were gone. 

Skin emerge deeply hydrated, balanced and glowing with vitality. This treatment hydrates, plumps and renews the skin in an instant.

I really enjoyed the facial treatment very much, it was soothing and relaxing like all unhappiness troubling me were gone. Thanks d'skin for the treatment.

20th Asian Television Awards 2015

I am so thankful for having the opportunity to attend 20th Asian Television Awards 2015.
Thanks Luxe Society for giving me a pair of tickets.

Asian Television Awards is the Asian TV industry’s most significant and celebrated event, recognising excellence in programming, production and performance. Launched in 1996, Asian Television Awards is back in 2015 for its 20th show.

I was caught in some stuffs prior to attending, so afraid I couldn't make it on time. Asian Television Awards was a live broadcast on regional TV channels. Hence, if you came after the show started, you will only be let in at the commercial break. So glad that I made it to the venue in the nick of time.

20th Asian Television Awards was held at Suntec City Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Awards were divided into two days, we were here for the second day.

With my lovely buddies at the award ceremony. Thanks Meryl for the photo and saving a seat for me, and Terence for bringing me in to the show.

Photo credits: Meryl.

Glad that I didn't miss much of the show. Red carpet ceremony coming up next.
Both of us were excited for the show. For me, I was here for the live performance. hehe..

The hosts for red carpet were Munah Bagharib and Max Loong from FLY Entertainment.

Local artistes, Joanne Peh and Chen Han Wei, were among the first to grace the red carpet.
Han Wei brought his lucky black rose out too, may lady luck be with him.

Fangirls screaming when JTR came out. The Swedish boy band was here as performing artiste.

Mimi Chu was up next.
Max asked her if there is any character she has yet to play and like to try. Mimi stunned him by saying that she want to play the role of young and beautiful girl.

Melvin Sia and Pierre Png were among the last to grace the red carpet. 
Pierre was the winner of the best actor in a leading role last year, will he be able to walk away with the award this year too?

Host of the award ceremony: Joey Mead King and Allan Wu from FLY Entertainment.

Tosh Zhang and Wang Weiliang together with Thai Actress, Karnklao "Grace" Duaysienklao, presenting the award for Best Reality Show Award.

Throughout the award ceremony, the audience were being treated to an impressive line up of performance by international artistes.

First up, Anggun from Indonesia.

Swedish boy band, JTR, took the stage next.

JTR is the initial letters of their names John, Tom and Robin. The three brothers rose to fame from The X Factor Australia 2013.

The boys were very energetic. 
 They performed their single 'Centre of Everywhere'.

Pierre Png and Joanne Peh are presenters at the Asian Television Awards.

The third performing artiste, Jeff Chang from Taiwan.

He is definitely one of my favourite singers. He never fail to captivate me with his sentimental love songs. Jeff Chang serenaded the audience with two songs from Asian television dramas. The first song was '爱你没错' from Chinese drama <Swords of Legends>.

I loved this song very much, I finished watching the chinese drama too.

The second song was a song that everyone was familiar with, the Mandarin version of 'My Destiny', the soundtrack from Korean drama <My Love from the Star>.

When Jeff Chang sang 'My Destiny', the audience switched on their mobile phone torch and waved with the melody. I'm sure Jeff Chang saw lots of stars waving at him.

Selfie during commercial break. We totally enjoyed Jeff Chang's performance, so awesome.

The main highlight of the night was definitely the performance by Korean girl group, Secret.
I'm a big fan of kpop, I was feeling thrilled to have the opportunity to watch the girls performing live. Secret performed two songs as well. The first song was 'I’m In Love', a song that was released last year.

Secret charmed the audience with dance moves that drew the loudest cheers.
 Secret made their debut in 2009, they are in their 6th years.

Who is your bias?
For me, my favourite is Jieun.
