Energizing Skin

Oh my, it has been ages since I last had my facial. If I remember correctly, the last time I had it was before my wedding. After that, I was just too busy and only managed to make do with mini facials at home. Well, I think it is about time that I indulged again. My face has been subjected to so many environmental factors that I am having nightmares just thinking about it. The last thing I would want is to succumb to wrinkles and pigmentation… eeek.

However, the one thing that is standing in my way of having facials is that I am unwilling to sacrifice quality time with my family during the weekends. A facial can take anything from an hour and a half to three, and with time being so precious, I have a hard time fitting this into my weekend schedule. I am contemplating taking a day off to get my facial done too, you know…but my pathetic annual leave balance stares blankly back at me.

Well, maybe I ought to consider converting my do-it-myself mini facials at home into a full-blown facial. I bet these fantastic products from ORIKI Cosmeceuticals would come in handy. They have got serums and masks aplenty. Since I love experimenting with new beauty products, this would be a good opportunity for me to do so. What caught my eye was the interesting kits they have on sale; some are specifically designed for whitening and some for revitalizing the skin. And with a sweet-sounding name like Oriki, which means “Weaving Life Energy into Your Skin”, I could tell that many have benefited from its all-natural ingredients, judging by the number of testimonials that can be seen on the site. Well, one of the things I look for when I use beauty products is the fact that it contains hypoallergenic properties, which I am happy that Oriki has. In addition, Oriki products boast that they do not contain hydroquinone, which is an ingredient that should be avoided by anyone with Asian, Mediterranean and Olive skin (AMO). That’s what makes Oriki special: all its products are formulated *for*AMO skins.

So what do you think, should I give this a shot in favor of going for a facial?  It would certainly enable me to spend more quality family time, that’s for sure.
