The Recharge, Re-energize and Re-new Facial Regimen customized specifically for men...
Continuing on my list of “must try facial treatments” I must share my first ever experience at Porcelain the Face Spa.
The
salon is located a mere five minute walk away from Outram Park MRT
station. Upon entering the salon, if your
therapist is still engaged, expect to have a relaxing foot soak in a sea
salt infused bath and a cup of tea while you wait.
There
are three treatments under the R3 Range; Recharge, Re-energize and
Re-new, which are adaptations of Porcelain’s existing treatments,
tweaked specially for men and their skin care concerns.
If
you are a frequent reader of this blog, you would know that I suffer
from chronically congested pores. But having said that, my skin has been
quite decent as of late thanks to my religious use of Jyunka’s M+
Fluid. However, my last facial left me with breakouts
and scars, due to over enthusiastic but incomplete extractions - which was
quite depressing really, if you consider how long and hard I worked at
keeping the zits at bay.

My therapist Nicole (who I greatly recommend), suggested I try the Renew treatment based on my skin’s condition. This
treatment is perfect for those suffering from open pores, blackheads,
whiteheads, pimples, acne, acne scars and oily/sensitive/dry skin, which
more or less described me to a T.
This
facial is an adaptation of Porcelain’s bestselling Quintessential
Treatment and showcases the face spa’s key-competency in deep pore
cleansing by using extractions to achieve clearer looking skin.
Nicole
put her whole heart and soul into taking out every blackhead she could
find. For a facial totally focussed on extraction, this was one of the
most painless procedures that I have ever experienced. Most of my
blackheads are concentrated around my T-zone, and Nicole ensured that they
were all eradicated. To prevent my skin from turning red and swollen,
she applied squares of cotton saturated in skin calming chamomile
essence and at the end of the facial (it took almost three hours) my
skin looked so clean and clear with minimal swelling and redness.
She
warned me that I would have some scabbing the next few days due to the
extraction using a surgical needle, but honestly, that was not a problem
for me at all, considering how clean and pore-less my skin looked for
the first time in its oily little life.
It
was a joy talking to Nicole, as she was a wealth of information and gave
me many tips on how to cleanse and extract my blackheads at home
without causing any scarring or breakouts.
It is recommended that this treatment be done every 10 to 20 days depending upon your skin condition.
This
facial costs $280 for 90-120 minutes and although I am sure that all
their therapists are good, I was really impressed by Nicole’s skill and
professionalism. Not many people can spend two hours painstakingly
extracting every single blackhead from someone's face and still be
cheerful by the end of it.
