Nobody made April Fools joke to me, thank God,
because I so do not like jokes and picking on people on April 1st.
Instead I spent my April Fools day pampering myself.
I was cleaning my apartment and I came across this Dermalogica facial treatment discount coupon from Ulta.
I realized the coupon was going to expire on April 2nd and I couldn't miss it,
it was a 50% off if you purchase a Dermalogica product coupon,
and if you get a MicroZone (20mintues for $20) the second MicroZone was free!
So, I immediately called Ulta in my neighborhood, but they were booked for both days, then I called the other Ulta and they had an opening for 7:15pm.
I never have facials so late, but that was the only time they had.
Then I checked to see how far it is from my place.
I was thinking it's 10 minutes away,
but I was so wrong!
It was almost 20 miles away,
but hey when you have a deal for a facial you cannot miss it!
So, my experience...
It was not my first Dermalogica experience.
I always get Dermalogica facials when I am home,
so my expectations were high.
It's been so long since I had a facial,
because I do not trust the salons in where I live.
It's my face, no joke.
If they are not experienced enough they can burn my skin or cause break outs with the products they use.
I take care of my skin, but it's not the same,
plus I really relax when someone else is working on my face.
So, she suggested me to get MediBac facial treatment, because regular facial does not involve extracting.
To me, this is just a scam to get more money.
When I get facials in Europe they involve everything except (apple acid) exfoliation, because it's something you don't need every time you get a facial,
especially if you have sensitive skin like mine.
When I am taking care of my skin myself I use Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.
It's the only thing that keeps black heads away and doesn't hurt my skin at all.
So, at the end it turned out that I didn't really need extracting.
My skin is mostly irritated, because of Dermalogica acne clearing kit that I used,
and I didn't really have black heads, and the ones that I had she couldn't get them.
So, I paid extra for no reason.
It was good getting a facial, but the towel they give you to wrap yourself up had hair on, and it was smelly.
The relaxation music was too loud, and not relaxing at all.
Last, but not least she had no idea how to massage.
She couldn't press the right spots on my face or head and she wasn't applying enough pressure, and the light in the room was too bright.
You don't really need a well lighted room,
the facial specialist only needs a lamp when she's extracting that's all.
When I came home I saw that she left a chunk of mask in my hair, on my scalp and inside my ears, and had eye cream particules under my eye and all over my eye lashes.
Overall, sorry Ulta but your specialist sucked at Dermalogica facial.
The Dermalogica salon I go at home has nice smelling smudge sticks and candles, a dim lighted room and a real relaxing music, and a half body massage included that I fell asleep almost completely for the last two times.
As far as MicroZone treatment...
I got the eye treatment.
Although I am too young to get wrinkles, my eyes were extremely tired and when I am tired I get saggy eyelids not puffy eyes like the rest of the population. So, I told MicroZone could save my eyes.
Beautician first said she doesn't have time for a facial and a MicroZone treatment, but then she figured that while she's working on my face she can also work on my eyes.
What a smart woman, huh?
My opinion on MicroZone eye treatment:
My eyes felt awake and looked bright, but eye lids were almost saggier than before.
Figure out yourself...
