Advertorial

An Update: It's been a week now and i returned to edit this post, compelled to rave. Though it started as an advertorial, I AM SOLD. Achieving porcelain skin is ACTUALLY POSSIBLE!

It has always been a battle with me and porcelain skin. Some days are good but most days are bad. Even if there are no visible acne, i was afraid for any lover to stroke my face. The sensitive fingers would feel the bumps (blackheads/whiteheads/clogged pores) beneath. Despite my regular monthly facial at another salon, while i kept acne breakout at bay, i never did achieve porcelain skin.

I just finished swimming and as i was smoothing on my skincare, i was astonished to find it smooth without bumps beneath! To be honest, it was a horrible 1-2 days after the treatment as my face was SUPER red and it felt like a breakout is imminent. I was alittle disappointed. I pulled through by religiously apply Soothe as i was told and voila, a week later...results as promised.

Porcelain Face Spa, i am impressed and you've got my thumbs up.

I hate extraction. The uncomfortable prodding and pushing with a metal loop and syringe needle sound scary.

Beauty is pain. Yet extraction is necessary so that impurities can be removed and nutrients from products can penetrate easily into the dermis. However, extraction needs to be done by professionals and with the right techniques. It’s a monthly beauty routine and I was looking forward to the visit at Porcelain Face Spa after returning from Jakarta, a highly polluted city.

What I found different at Porcelain Face Spa from my regular facial salon is. If you arrive 10 minutes early, you get to have a sea salt foot soak!
This is me before the treatment, pores clogged to the max from walking on the streets of Jakarta. Skin on the cheeks are pretty dry, some pigmentation scars as well.
Well, other than the extraction techniques being a tad different from other salons, what i found different was the recommendation of LED light therapy after.

Red Light Therapy Rejuvenates Your Skin
In the anti-aging process, what is important is the collagen production and red light therapy stimulates the collagen production. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin, resulting in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The collagen is also the protein that repair damaged skin cells.

Blue Light Therapy Kills Acne
The blue light therapy kills the Propionibacterium acne bacteria. This bacteria is one of the cause of acne, and is sensitive to light in a certain range (405 to 420nm). The bacteria absorb the light and the light kills the bacteria. It is also used for to reduce the inflammation caused by acne, reduces scarring, sebum and oil production.

What makes Porcelain different is they believe in 3 key philosophies.
  1. Good skin should be clear and radiant from within. Porcelain does not advocate covering imperfections; instead, they seek to treat the root of the problem.
  2. No two skins are alike. To maintain a high level of quality and professionalism, all Porcelain treatment will be fully customized based on skin type, skin problem and therapist recommendation. Customization begins from a wide selection of cleansers, serums, ampoules, masks and other even equipments.
  3. Skincare is long term. You can’t develop a six-pack after one gym session, just like how it is pretty hard to achieve Porcelain skin after 1 treatment. Because skincare is long term, Porcelain work to educate their clients and develop a trusted relationship to better cater to client’s skincare needs.
The therapist warned me before the treatment about the redness experienced after and assured me it will fade. This is me very very red after the treatment. Do not go for a facial a day before any big event or date.
I diligently used the feathery light soothing gel that heals and hydrates the skin to eliminate breakouts and irritation. Specially formulated with pure aloe extracts to soothe skin after procedures.
 This is me 4 days after, redness diminished, pores tighter and blackheads on nose begone!
To good skin and beyond!
