Diamonds really are a girl's best friend

Earlier today I treated myself to a facial, not something that I'm really into, but one of the beauty salons near where I'm staying in KL are currently doing an offer for a Diamond Peel Facial, RM88 instead of their usual price of RM288, so how could I refuse?!

So I booked myself an appointment and off I went. I wasn't really sure what to expect, all I had been told when I booked myself an appointment was that its a type of MicroDermabrasion facial and it'd take around 90-120 mins, which to me, the novice facial go-er, sounded like quite a long time!

The actual diamond peel procedure was over pretty quickly, after cleansing my face with 2 different types of cleanser, a wand tipped with diamond particles (although who knows if it actually was since I didn't get to see it!) that was attached to what I can only imagine was a vacuume machine was passed lightly over the skin of my face. It felt like very fine sandpaper but didn't hurt and wasn't unpleasant. After the beautician did half of my face she handed me a mirror and asked if I could see the difference between the side that had been done and the one that hadn't. I hate to admit, I couldn't really see a striking difference, but the side that had been done felt a lot softer, so that was a start! The rest of the time was taken up by more cleansing, an eyebrow clean up (that was not included in the package), a relaxing massage followed by a tingly facemask and a bit of a tone and moisturise.

Based on the fact that I couldn't see much of a difference when she handed me the mirror earlier in the procedure I didn't have high hopes for the results of the facial. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find my skin much clearer, brighter and just looking a lot healthier! Definately RM88 well spent (by the way, RM88 is around £15).

So while I was on a roll, I decided to get my hair cut! And now not only do I have a radiant looking face, I'm also sporting a shorter more conditioned hairdo. Not bad for a days work.
