Helpless Googling!

Okay. So if you read my blog on the new year resolution, you'd find out that most of things are already checked.

Taking IUCD out. Check.
Do that potongan Zakat. Check.
Cook every weekend. Check and hope to attain that for the rest of the year.
Save a few more thousand to ASB. Check of about 3k and going on again.
Lose a few more kgs. Not yet.
Reading chic lit every week. Check.

and a current project, to get a facial treatment shall be the focus of February.

So I have been scurrying around to find the best saloon that will do my face good. Off-counter products (tried Estee, SK, De La Mer) are off-limit, they don't do me any good, not ever. I am targeting saloon product that will offer me the facial treatment (targeting my uneven skin tones, large pores and blackheads at nose) and also product to go home to. Most importantly, the saloon must be near work so that I can frequent it monthly.


I have reckied Maria Galland, Dermalogica and Thalgo.
1. Maria Galland (Sect 14 PJ) is super duper classy with microdermabrasion machine. It is mild.
2. Dermalogica (both at Amcorp Mall and Sect 14 PJ) is actually the cheapest of all. But it has Salicylic Acid which is a taboo for dear son who is a G6PD. Not all of their product has Salicylic Acid thought, but I got a feeling that the ones targeting my uneven skin tones will probably has that venom.
3. I've tried Thalgo ( Amcorp Mall )facial at Jakarta before and it was superb. No reaction eventhough it is an algae based. But after trying de la Mer, I am having triple doubts.

So talk about the cost.
1. Maria Galland offers 9-treatment series at RM2K, a complete product (their toner has 'Colagen'!) to bring home at Rm800, bring me to RM2.8k.
2. Dermalogica offers 7-treatment series, with complimentary stuff I don't know what and home product at a total of RM1650. Thing is I don't know whether it is normal facial or facial targeting my problem, as specific as Maria Galland's.
3. Thalgo 10 treatment series is at RM1.3K something and to go home to at i think below Rm1K.

Cost doesn't really vary much, does it. But I wanna know Results and have been Googling around and can't find much.

Watcha think?
