I think they use fillers but be careful. I know of someone who had fillers injected to her eyes and had a botched up job where the gel hardened or something causing a lump.

Hi… to me facials are nice and relaxing if you happen to have a good beautician. From my experience, dont do too much extractions, will cause your pores to be big. Just do basic and probably 1 extra treatment like whitening or mositurising or deep cleansing etc. That should be enough.

But i have another problem that probably anyone can recommend me. I have quite bad fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes. Was thinking of doing botox, but kind of afraid to go with it. Any other recommendation for a more instant eye lift to look fresh?

Facials irritate your skin? Hmm…I guess you have rather sensitive skin then.

i personally don’t like facials, they always irritate my skin, no matter what the beautician does or uses. i prefer to use my money on good products for prevention and will probably prefer to use the dermatologist for more aggresive treatments like removal of milia when i find it necessary.

Yes, I agree. There are expensive facials that deliver and cheap ones that deliver too. I know facials using guasa are kind good in improving complexion and those home-based facials cost less than $100 per session.

You’re right about daily routines. Some pple have a false security because they think they can rely on facials and also beauty treatments to take care of their skin. But the reality is, they have to take of it themselves and improve their lifestyles too.
