Its almost a year and a half since my previous facial at Glomax Aesthetics . Previously, i did a hydrabrasion facial with them, if you like you can read about my experience then.
This time round I was invited back to this SOHO unit for an Instant Calm Facial, which is suitable for my skin. Since my eczema face was still giving me problems, I had to remind myself and the beautician to avoid facials and scrubs that are too harsh for my skin.
It is always a good habit to check with the facial salons what they will be doing on your skin regardless or not you are paying for the facial as you won't want to risk a breakout later.

About Instant Calm Facial (60 minutes)

-Your face will be first cleansed and your make-up will be removed. This is typical to any facials.
The beautician then proceeds with pimple extraction using a metal tool. The obvious white heads on the surface of your face are removed using this tool so that it will be less painful during the extraction. This tool is so cool.

I was told by my beautician Stephie, that this tool comes in really handy for people who are afraid of the painful extraction process. I was quite disgusted when she showed me my whiteheads but at the same time pleased to know that they were all removed. I can't remember when I had a facial with pimple extraction already. Perhaps more than 2 months ago?

The pimple extraction that followed after this extraction tool was used, was quite painful because there were many stubborn pimples that was deep in my skin. She did warn me before hand but what to do, I prefer my skin to be clean.

Stephie then proceed with eyebrow trimming and shaping. She was very nice to check with me if I preferred my brows thick or thin and that she would balance them out so when it grows, it will appear nicely.
Calming ampoules were applied on my skin and she was very careful not to "touch my eczema areas". She then followed through by applying a soothing mask sheet on my face, and ended the facial with a shoulder massage while I had the mask on my face.
This facial is suitable for people with sensitive skin like me to calm the redness and improves your skin complexion.



The facial room is really small and is shared with 2 other persons separated by curtains so that they can serve more customers at a time but you will still get he privacy you require so no worries for that.



Overall, I am satisfied with the facial experience except for the pimple extraction which was quite painful as there were some really deep whiteheads and somehow I wished that I can be put in a bigger room. I also wished that the massage was longer.... (wishful thinking I know).



Its only about 1 week+ post facial with minimal make-up on, taken at the end of the day after a movie date. It was about 11pm and I think 3/4 of my make-up was already gone. My skin is looking so much healthier. I am so so so glad, that the 2 major pimple extractions had since subsided and my skin is no longer looking flaky now thanks to this timely instant calm facial. My skin had since calm down and I am glad I can now go out confidently again. Good bye nasty pimples and ugly skin.

Thanks to the invitation from GLOMAX Aesthetics, I get the opportunity to experience a homely facial, somewhere where I wouldn't imagine myself going, due to its location.

After struggling for awhile to locate the address, I finally found my way to GLOMAX Aesthetics. Most of their facials are by appointments due to the strict security at the building.


I can never imagine a facial salon to be hiding in this building.



After settling myself down with my beautician Yvonne, she did a skin consultation with me and check my skin before she proposed a suitable treatment for my face. Through her, I also found that people with asthma issues are more likely to develop dark eye circles. This could be due to lack of rest? No scientific evidence but 8 out of 10 of her customers have the same issue.



Took some photographs of my face before the facial and treatment commenced. I only used lipstick, basic skincare and sunscreen. I did not apply any foundation on my skin. So, this is my natural skin under the salon's lighting. 

Yvonne settled me down in my facial room and proceeded with the facial treatment.

I was recommended with the Microdermabrasion & Hyaluronic Acid Therapy. This treatment is also known as the Hydrabrasion Facial. This treatment promise to give me a clear, crystal skin.

Using an upgraded microdermabrasion that vacuums and washes the skin simultaneously so every pore of my skin is deeply cleaned and decongested. My skin is exfoliated with the diamond microdermabrasion that vacuums out the dirt, combines with an irrigation system that washes out dirt in the pores at one go. No extraction is needed, how convenient.

To maximize the softness and radiance of my delicate skin, the upgraded microdermabrasion wand uses hyaluronic acid at high speed to hydrate and plump up the skin at every pore. My skin feels cooling and clean during the exfoliation process. The whole process is painless and this treatment is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin like mine (tested & proven).

The results last for weeks.

The Hydrabrasion Facial last for 45 minutes and cost $120, read on to find out how you can pay only $68 for this facial.

Benefits: Smooth skin, anti-aging, pore-clearing, skin tightening, plumping effect.
Like most facials, the first step was to remove all the skincare and make-up from the customer's face. She then proceeded with the skin treatment, pimple extraction and offered to touch up my brows before applying a mask to my face.

You can see the glow and radiance from my face almost immediately during the facial and I could feel my face plumped up with moisture. My skin is always thirsty, I don't know why?

Like most facials nowadays, there was no steaming done before pimple extraction. It was really painful as she extracted the bigger pimples and my chin areas. You can see the redness from my face.


Yvonne was very friendly, chatting with me, putting me at ease and making me feel at home. She checked with me throughout to ensure that I was enduring the pain well, and let me know when she had to leave the room. It was a very pleasant facial experience.



This is the room that I had my facial in. Decently sized and with proper doors, but you still can hear people chatting next door.
Don't be little this small little "home-styled" salon, they have won multiple awards for their facial.

I would recommend this place to my readers because the environment is cozy, the beautician is knowledgeable and friendly. GLOMAX will also do a consultation for you before they recommend you with any facial that is suitable, so you won't end up wasting your money for something that you probably would not require. 


Look at my glowing face 2 weeks post facial.
