What to expect from a Glycolic Facial & Diamond Peel from Aesthetic Science Clinic

Every month, I try to visit the dermatologist at least once. If I am super busy, and do not have time for weekly visits, I make sure I visit at least once a month for a routine cleaning and treatment. In this blog post, I will highlight what to expect from a Glycolic Facial and Diamond Peel from Aesthetic Science Clinic.

Since I turned 40 years old, I suddenly became more conscious about the decisions I was making to not only live a healthier life by changing my diet, but also by caring for my skin routinely as well.

#TheStruggleIsReal

One of the treatments that I enjoy regularly from Aesthetic Science Clinic in Alabang is the Glycolic Acid Cleaning with an added Diamond Peel. This non-invasive treatment cleans up the possibility of blemishes, and leaves my skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. 

I have written about the first time I ever experienced a Diamond Peel before, and I felt like the results were amazing.

But to be able to avail of this treatment once a month keeps my skin looking so much more hydrated, exfoliated, and over all, healthier and more supple.

Whenever I start this treatment with Jenny, she always begins with a foaming cleanser to remove any dirt and impurities that might be on the surface of my skin. 

After she removes the foaming cleanser, we dive into the exfoliation by way of a Neostrata Glycolic Acid Solution application. The percentage and strength of this solution depends on what Doc Yanee recommends after examining my skin during our consultation.

Jenny uses a little fan to keep the areas where Doc Yanee applies the acid peel cool, and pain free.

After Doc applies the solution, it feels a little itchy with a slight sting, depending on the percentage and strength.

On this particular day, she applied a 35% solution. At 35% I don’t even flinch. In fact, it didn’t even feel like very much. 

When the solution has set on the face for a few minutes, Jenny then sponges off the solution and I get to sit under the steamer.

The steamer opens up the pores and gets my skin ready for the next step of this routine cleaning. It’s not too hot and because I’m usually very quick to get cold, I look forward to this part of the facial. (Mabilis ako lamigan.)

With cotton pads on my eyes, and my relaxing music in my earphones, I take the time to enjoy the warm steam which readies my skin for the next part of the treatment.

Once my pores are open, it makes it easier for Jenny to clean up the superficial blemishes, blackheads, and pimples with the vacuum and the extraction tools. 

This is usually the time in the facial that is not the favorite of many.

It is also when all the hard work is done. This is also the time that I wish I had one of those close up cameras to see all the good stuff that Jenny pulls out of my pores.

Gross.

I know.

And yes, I am one of the people that likes watching this kind of stuff on YouTube.

Hahahahaha.

Once the skin is clean, devoid of blackheads, clogged pores, and all that other stuff that gives us problems, Jenny brings out a part the facial that I find completely amusing, by way of Star Wars Wand. 

Ok. I’m totally joking. It’s not a Star Wars Wand. It’s an electronic frequency laser, that helps sanitize the skin, and prevent infection after all that poking and prodding and cleaning. 

When the laser is all put away, it’s time to bring out the Diamond Tipped cleaning tool which not only successfully removes unnecessary  layers of dead skin by way of exfoliation, it also vacuums it away from the face without leaving any dirt behind.

Jenny is careful not to come too close to my eyes, but is thorough in making sure that everything has been exfoliated carefully and properly.

As we are nearing the end of my facial, Jenny is now taking the time to make sure there is no risk for any future infection by applying Betmathasone cream on all the red parts of my face that were picked.

And before I stand up from the treatment bed, she also makes sure to apply sunblock before I walk out the door to start my day. 

This treatment leaves me feeling clean and fresh. It unclogs all my pores, removes the dirt and dead layers of skin from the surface, and leaves my skin moisturized without feeling oily or heavy. It’s something I look forward to with Doc Yanee, as regular maintenance.

If have been very lazy and harsh in the treatment of my skin, I have notice that I need this treatment twice a month.

But for the most part, I enjoy this thorough cleaning once a month for maintenance.

It takes care of my oily t-zone without drying out the rest of my face, and leaves me feeling more confident in going without make up for a few days afterwards.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
