I used to go for facials every 3 weeks religiously.. when i was working in Asia.  Well.. i was working and doing and the job paid kinda well.. and i had to do alot of cocktails.. and entertaining the clients.. plus i also need to fly around quite abit.  Hence, a traveling blog… but that’s for another day .. and another story.

When i first arrived in Canada.. i too go for facials on a regular basis… but since i’m owner by association .. and technically didn’t have to work.. so didn’t really need to spend like $80 a facial.. i didn’t go as often.  But of course, i would still go, just because.

After having my daughter, i find it hard to go anywhere .. and stopped going for facials because they are alot different from the ones I was used to back home.  I still do my cleansing.. and toning.. and moisturizer.. and i don’t really find that my skin looked any worst.. although a wee bit dry but that’s to be expected right..?

Anyhow, the aesthetician that i used to go to, now has her own shop.  She was a pretty nice girl and all, but a look at her price tag for a facial would cost me $75 + tax + tips ( they believe in tips here) .. for a 60 mins facial ( that i don’t think really deep cleanse my face) .. i feel the pinch..!  won’t you..??  and plus i do good with my home facials.. for less.  So was it just a trend that everyone go for facials or does it really make us look alot more beautiful..? making the skin feel refreshed..??  Like i said.. the facial i’ve experienced here compared to the East is very different.  I just cannot justify spending that kind of money anymore.   Hence, i read up on products and try stuff that are reasonable .. and works. What about you..??
