A Woman's World

by Cecile Cinco

Last month I have experienced for the first time to undergo a diamond peel facial treatment by Enhancements Skin & Cosmetic Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa. I wouldn’t have undergone it on my own. It just so happened that my friend Levy of Levyousa could not go herself. That is what I call opportunity! Levy posted it on FB and the first commenter will have it. I was there!

Actually, I printed out the coupon that I should bring. It’s worth P1,800. Levy also called the clinic who will be going instead of her. The time was scheduled as well. I had my youngest with me than. We left the house and was already 10 minutes away (in a jeepney) when I realized I forgot to bring the printout! Daughter suggested we go back home. I said we could not because we will get late and I hate to get late. I said we’re going to look for an internet shop. Good thing there was one when we got off the jeepney.

We arrived at the clinic and were immediately entertained. I felt pampered. At the end of the session, I was told my face was relatively clean. Not much white or black heads (compared to others who go for the treatment also, that is). Maybe it was due also to my makeup-less lifestyle. I easily get allergies since I was a kid so makeup did not really appeal much to me.

In the middle of the treatment I asked if she can include under my chin. My daughter retorted, “Ma, that’s no longer called ‘facial’ because it’s already part of the neck.” Duh!

It was a refreshing experience!
