Although nothing can come between me & my food, the aftermath of excessive eating is real!
Attractive silhouette no more because I gained so much this Chinese New Year in the Year of Metal Ox. Maybe I’m really elated that Singapore has the pandemic situation under controlled and it is a blessing that we still get to hangout with our love ones. And so, most celebrations come with food, food and more food right? Haha!
Extra thickness at the waist is very unattractive and I’m feeling extremely clumsy with it. I am not even motivated to put on my exercise gear to workout as I look so fat in it. 😆 And then all I could think of are tasty eats, late night indulgences and clearing of tidbits even the festival has officially ended. With more time spent on eating, my sleep is badly compromised too. The aftermath of all these is a huge gain on my tummy! – from 76cm previously to 10cm more! This measurement does not includes other areas, yet. *CRIES* but served me right!
All parties will come to a stop and I have to even they don’t! What about you? Did you gain any weight after all the celebratory eating? What will you be doing to lose it? I need to lose those post-Chinese New Year’s gains to kickstart my slimming journey again!
I want to be the kind of beauty that shines with the brightest skin, even on the darkest night.
Although we know beauty lies skin deep, but we do want to look & feel good at all times because humans are visual animals and naturally attracted to pleasantness. Giving our skin priority & extra care often reward us with happiness & the reflection of gorgeous skin in everyone’s eyes.
I enjoyed having my facials in beauty salons because my skin always feel good & glowing after it. I also strongly believe that oil, dirt & makeup products will remain in some of my pores even when I do double cleansing on my face twice daily.
As an Asian, we have a different set of skin problems from other ethnicity groups. Our skin tends to lose moisture easily because of its thinness & the dehydrated skin will be prone to more serious issues such as sensitive skin, allergies, & environmental aggressors. Asian skin also has issue with hyperpigmentation, which is why we see splotchy brown spots that are especially obvious as we aged.
Asian skin also has black & whiteheads on the t-zone & cheek area because the oil glands are super active in secreting sebum. Excess sebum left on these areas will lead to inflammatory acnes, rough skin & enlarged pores. The wearing of safety masks because of Covid 19 makes maskne trending & on a roll. All of these problems are pretty scary & how many do you have?
ASIAN SKIN SOLUTION
I got to know about Asian Skin Solution when I watched Taiwan most well-received beauty program 女人我最大 on television, which happened to feature their award winning skincare products for that episode. The segment got me intrigued & lead me to search for user reviews on Asian Skin Solution as I’m interested to try out their facial service.
Being one of the top-notch skincare solution in Singapore, Asian Skin Solution allows me to care for myself with their state-of-the-art technologies in cosmetic field. I feel that my skin deserves the best & staying young is a lifelong mission for me (and almost everyone)!
What makes Asian Skin Solution different from others is also that they take pride in being the solutions for Asian skin problems & are committed to help us in eliminating skin concerns in the most effective way & relaxing environment. With their professionally-trained beauticians, I am on my way to a more confident self, even when I’m in bare skin!
THE LOCATION
There are 2Asian Skin Solution outlets in Singapore and the one I visited is at Paya Lebar Square. All of their locations are convenient to access, which is important since most of us need to visit the salon several times in order to complete the treatments.
The outlet at Paya Lebar Square is located at Basement 1, donning a really chic and luxurious shop front. Spot the beautiful floral wall and I’m sure no one will miss it if they ever walked past the shop!
As usual, all new customers to the beauty salon will have to complete a two-page questionnaire for the beauticians to understand our needs and expectations correctly.
Further to the two-page questionnaire, they will also be doing a skin analysis with a scanner apparatus on our face. If you have struggled long enough with skin problems, you will know that there is no one-method-fits-all solution. Asian Skin Solution know the importance of treating a problem at its root hence going through such detailed skin analysis is really essential!
After scanning, I’m rather surprised to see the results of my in-depth analysis. The results showed I have clean pores and sufficient moisture on my skin but because I have super thin keratin, fine lines have started appearing. Super thin keratin also means thin skin hence my skin is subjected to sensitivity & lost of moisture really easily.
THE TREATMENT
Time to get changed into their signature grey tube wrap and welcome to the cosy treatment room of mine. I really like the major color of sleek piano-white throughout the salon, so classy! Asian Skin Solution even put duvet on the treatment bed and it is so comfortable that I felt like I was floating on a cloud throughout the treatment!
With my areas of concern diagnosed, my beautician introduced their LLLT (Low Level Laser Treatment) with Omega Light to me. This treatment is targeted to strengthen the skin, brighten my complexion & lighten pigmentations from brownish acne scars – with the use of different colored lights alongside facial procedures. This treatment sounds really scientific and I’m excited about it! 🌈
LLLT is a painless process to rejuvenate the skin by emitting different wavelengths of light energy deep into the skin layer, promoting cell growth & improving skin conditions for cosmetic effects. This treatment is great because it can be effective yet gentle enough even on the most sensitive skin. My skin is feeling calmed & relaxed throughout the treatment, not even a bit of irritation!
There are 6 types of colored light energy with LLLT, and each of them carries a different function to target on the areas of concern. My beautician chosen red & blue light energy for me because I need better blood circulation, relieving of my fine lines while repairing my acne scars.
LLLT is a 7-steps procedure and will start is with a pre-cleansing & then double cleansing – even on the neck and shoulder area! The thorough cleanse is to ensure no dirt and oil is left on the skin surface so that extraction of impurities can be done easily after softening the face with gentle steam.
Life is the sum of all your choices, so please make good ones always!
Blogged about my first experience with Tokyo Bust Express previously, I’m happy to be back & checked on their Serenity Treatment this round.
Most of us are curious about Tokyo Bust Express’s services after seeing their advertisements, but how many really tried? I’m thankful to myself for visiting them because this is one of the wise choices I’ve made in life. The experience this round is just as pleasurable as previous, where I also get to clear my queries on myths & issues with my therapist. Everyone at Tokyo Bust Express is so knowledgeable!
When comes to Tokyo Bust Express, most of us will think this is a bust salon that focuses on enhancement & enlargement only. This is only partially right because Tokyo Bust Express also focuses on Bust Care such as enhancing its firmness, tuning irregular shaped breasts to be more balanced, as well as detoxifying from clogged lymphatic nodes with massages and machines. Sadly, many of us did not or do not know how to take good care of ourselves during puberty, after weight lost and child birth, resulting to great damages to our precious peaks!
Tokyo Bust Express is one of the most reputable bust treatment salons in Singapore with strong support from media & customers, and also has great wins of numerous awards throughout the years.
Besides using up-to-date technologies alongside age-old techniques from Japan, Tokyo Bust Express also uses products with herbaceous extracts that aid in bust improvements without any surgeries or pills. These products are especially useful when used with massages and machines – for greater & longer lasting effects.
THE LOCATION
I love the outlet at NEX Serangoon since it is the nearest to my home & there are many shops for me to shop and eat after my treatment! Located at level 3 of NEX, this cosy salon is really comfortable & gives me sense of privacy.
Very much in love with their pink & gold interior always, even the tree for christmas is in pink! This place is just so gorgeous, every corner of it!
All new customer to the salon will have to complete a two-page questionnaire in order for the therapist to understand your needs deeper. I’m skipping this since I’m a returning customer where they already know I’m looking for a recharge for my boobs since I have been feeling really unhealthy & lethargic from my festive eats & late nights.
No longer feeling shy or nervous, Tokyo Bust Express made me feel at home right after my first treatment with them previously – this is how good & professional they are.
Changed into their signature silk kimono with bra off, I’m all ready for my Serenity Treatment!
Serenity Treatment at Tokyo Bust Express
Serenity Treatment is a package with different segments put together to give a perk for our peaks! This package consists of a Scrub, Massage, Suction, & Mask. Seriously this is equivalent to a spa package to me, but focusing on the bust instead of body. Loving this idea!
THE TREATMENT
In my cosy private room for treatment and the bed is so comfortable that I am sleeping in it most of the time.
Serenity Treatment took me around an hour where the treatment started off with gentle massage on acupuncture points of my chest and neck. This is to calm me while relaxes my muscles – so that I can enjoy the benefits from the treatment better!
A gel scrub is applied on my breasts to remove dirt & dead skin with gentle rubbing action by the therapist. This segment is quite quick & fuss-free but is essential to prep the bust for better absorption on the products used later.
A professional Japanese hand massage technique working on the lymphatic nodes & breasts to detox follows after the scrub. In my opinion, I feel that this signature segment of Tokyo Bust Express is really good, where no machine can be comparable. The massage is effective because accumulated fats & toxin stored at the armpit areas & bust caused by bad diet & unhealthy lifestyle, need impactful pressure on them to be expelled from the clogged lymph nodes. Machines can be strong but not accurate to the points. This is why most customers prefer Tokyo Bust Express as the therapists are well versed in the massaging techniques, giving us the right amount of pressure for the massage skillfully.
During the massage, you will experience little discomfort, especially when the therapist is exerting force on the clogged lymphatic nodes. However, you should not be worried & must persist on. The tension will be eased with you getting used to it eventually. Throughout this process, the therapist will also check for your comfort level so let her know if the pain is unbearable for you to handle.
Next up, the therapist applied a thick layer of gel onto my breasts & cupped on two suction cups from a machine. The suction cups cling on to my bust securely where the therapist started adjusting the level of suction. The pressure must be high enough to be effective yet comfortable without hurting. This process is totally painless with the purpose to firm & lift breasts using vacuum pressure. My bust gotten a good lift from this while its shape is enhanced to be more centre focused. I’m loving the result and such effect can be permanent if I’m attending to the treatment diligently.
The final touch for the treatment involves collagen gel mask lusciously applied onto my bust, followed by a gentle wrapping on the area with a cling wrap. This mask is to fortify the skin structure while giving a beautifying plumping effect for a healthier looking bust-line.
AFTER TREATMENT
There is no after treatment care needed for this but it will be great to showlove to your bust always. Bust products can be purchased at Tokyo Bust Express according to your needs and they are essential to maintain a healthy looking bust line – just like how we take care of our face with care products.
ON FINAL THOUGHTS
Tokyo Bust Express is really not about bust enhancement or enlargement only. Their Serenity Treatment gave me spa-like pampering session where blood circulation is improved and unwanted toxin from my armpits area is removed with massage. This can reduce or prevent the formation of ‘second breast’ at the area effectively and my experience with them is always satisfying & pleasant throughout.
In 2020, I learnt that our well-being matters the most since everything can be really unpredictable because of the pandemic situation. I will not hold back to love myself and will be at my best whenever I can. I will also be getting my Serenity Treatment regularly if schedule allows since this I’m into bust care. When you are feeling great & healthy, your appearance and self-confidence improved. I will always stay true to my belief in life – that is to love ourselves always.
