Stubborn blackheads

One skin problem that I usually deal with is the blackhead on nose. I could feel its head protruding everytime I touch my nose. How can I get rid of that? I know I need to have a facial once a month but that’s too expensive for me. Those blackheads are just too stubborn that they kept on appearing even if I don’t want to see them anymore!LOL. I don’t wanna self-prick it because it might cause the pores to get bigger so I need a facial wash that has beads to remove those blackheads. Seems like what we are using now is not that effective in removing blackheads and whiteheads anymore. Change brand? Maybe!

Our first facial

I’ve been bugging Ace for us to have a facial treatment. He agreed long ago but I cannot drag him to get inside a clinic. I must say it only needs a little more self-esteem boosting that he finally got the courage to get inside MediSkin in SM City last Tuesday. Unluckily, the place is full and they could only accommodate one. I know Ace won’t have a facial without me and I don’t wanna postpone this facial date because knowing Ace, once he goes out of the clinic he might change his mind anytime. I knew it! Once we got outside, he said he don’t want to have a facial treatment anymore. Not that time, not tomorrow. Just a little more convincing and I was already leading him to OroDerm. Halfway to OroDerm, he changed his mind and lead me back. More convincing and he finally said yes so we were at OroDerm in no time. After 30 minutes, we were inside the clinic. Then the session started. I know whitehead and blackhead extraction is painful based on my former colleague’s stories so I told myself it’s just normal when I was feeling a little bit pain.

After an hour, we’re done and here’s the final step of the facial – laser treatment to close the pores (according to the attendant)

After the treatment, we bought a bottle of astringent to help minimize our pores. The clinic sells a lot of skin care products including beauty soap, facial wash and wrinkle fillers to name a few.

After 2 days, we noticed there are dark spots in our nose due to small cuts. Oh my! What have they done to our skin? I told Ace earlier I won’t be going back to OroDerm anymore. We’ll try other clinics for it might be better than OroDerm.
