Mordecai Skin - Inside, out beauty
Sponsored Post:
Hidden somewhere inside Ang Mo Kio Ave 6, where most people would
think that it will be like maybe tuition centre? Because it's surrounded by
furniture shop and kopitiam. Although, it's hidden, but naturally, treasure
will be discovered and Mordecai skin is one of the treasures good looking
natural beauty.
Mordecai is for both male and female, which explain why it doesn't not provide body massage. In addition, unisex facial allow you to go as couples, family or friends.
Some history of the name, mordecai (pronounced as mor-d-kai):
Mordecai
is a Jewish name and a real historical character in the Bible. Mordecai lived
in a time where the Jews were under the Persian rule. He has an adopted
daughter, Esther, who later became the queen of the Persian Empire.
Terror
struck when the second in command of the Persian Empire, Haman, wanted to
annihilate the Jews. Haman used the king’s authority and passed and edict and
proclaimed a day where all the Jews will be massacred. Queen Esther was worried
to speak up for her people, thereby putting her own life at risk.
However,
Mordecai taught Esther moral courage. He told her not to feel safe just because
she is in the palace. If Esther remained silent at that time, relief will arise
from another place. Mordecai said to Esther “who knows but that you have come
to your royal position for such a time as this?”
Mordecai
knew true beauty is both inward and outward. We love how Mordecai understood
real beauty.
Thus, having this name “Mordecai”, they
hope that everyone have not only inner beauty but together with outer beauty,
which is why they establish a facial shop which isn’t there to suck your money
but providing true beauty to allow you to relax.
Heading in or even just looking through there window, you would
notice this big board. And they are having 40% off for student and the first
trail is $48, which they want people to feel whether they are suitable for the
treatment and the first trail, they are not earning any profit. Having so much
discount for students as they know that students are facing stress
and puberty which is like an asshole that causes all those blemishes! And
most students will not have the money for treatments which lead to uneven
surface of the face, that wouldn’t be cure after which. They hope that by
reducing prices of the treatment, students to be able to afford the treatment
and having more confident outlook.
The only written treatment for $120, which
is all types of treatments you will get depends on your skin condition. Unlike
other facial company, which might state facial at $48 but it's just the
extraction, and when other treatments are needed, you have to pay more. In the
end, you may be paying up to $200 or even more.
Before the treatment, you will be asked to
fill up a questionnaire based on your allergy and skin product used. After
which, they will explain about the process of your treatment. For all the
treatments, they will be using mild chemicals instead of the strong ones, so you
would see results after 2 or 3 days, as they believe (and I believe) that
effective chemicals are usually have strong side effects.
My Treatments:
As I said that everyone
have different treatments depending on their face condition, and mine *ahem* being
still in puberty, and have stress, of course, there are millions of
pimples and itchy hands causing worst inflammation.
First up - fruit acid:
This treatment with slight tingling
sensation control sebum production, tightens pores and improves overall skin
texture. It actually feel like small ants biting, but after which, there is
this hot sensation.
2nd - Extraction:
I have to admit that I always go to facial
for like every 6 months once? And this is the part where you have to endure.
They say "no pain, no gain" , yes if there's no pain, you won't gain pretty face ! And I always endure. I rather have a one-time
full clear face, then having to endure the pain for more than one time.
This is the points where most facial
aunties will hard-sell their products because you will just answer “yes”, due
to the pain, and it's the longest time you will spend there. But in Mordecai,
the beautician (Josie) only hard sell this sentence, “is it pain?" hahhahas!
Honesty, every time she ask, I feel the extra pain! Hashanahs!
And my omg, red face! But glad it reduce to like 10% after the
other treatments! Also, extraction will take about 3 days for the red pores to
totally close up, give it some time and you will get flawless skin!
3rd - High Frequency
A painless treatment to maintain you skin and kill all the bacteria and inflammation inside your pores. I actually like this one, because it's really painless and at most you can only hear the scary sound, and it reduce inflammation meaning lesser time to visit facial and lesser torture! Say YaY, to new clean pores!
This is actually the same IPL treatment as the hair removal one, but lesser heat. Because our face is tenderer, this IPL treatment is just to close up the pores and leaving a smooth texture to our skin, so that dirty won't enter so quickly but you still have to wash your face daily !
It's actually painless, just with strong red lights that will blind you, but the goggles will protect your pretty eyes !
5th - mask
It's just a super duper cold mask that will help in cooling your face after such a huge work out, hahahahs ! And I love the mask, because it will be nap time and officially everything has ended ! The mask will harden and don't worry you can't breathe of what. hahahahs
And after the mask, obviously, the redness of my face reduced 101 times ! Still a little red, but it will be fine after a day or so. They helped me put some blemishes cream that have the herbs smell, and it further reduce the redness of those red spots. And also, after facial, try to stay home, otherwise if you go out and have make up, I feel the facial is wasted.
A tea is a must after the facial, and Mr Lam explained to me the
treatments and ask whether there is anything I dislike or anything they could
improve on. Obviously, the answer is everything is awesome. Just a little complain of the extraction, which he still kindly explained that extraction is so much better than putting chemicals on your face that might reduce blemishes but it will still be inside your pores.
My true review:
Personally, I feel that the environment is
very cosy and they even offer cotton slipper for their customers, like you are at home.
Also, the beautician will give you advise on what skin type you are and what
product you should use and try not to use (not from their shop). For
example, I have oily skin and she say it's better not to have face massage as blood circulation will produce more oily skin and advise me to use cold
water to wash my face. In addition, for moisturizer try to use those gel type
instead of cream type.
Which most people won't know about all these little tips to more flawless skin? As my previous beautician will always massage
my face, that may be product more oily skin ! :( and she forever hard-selling
products, and my house have her products which we don't even use it! Gosh!
All in all, I have to say that Mordecai is
really super cosy and cold and having friendly staffs who are forever smiling !
