Remember when I mentioned in my Modbox post I would have a recap of my facial session with New York Skin Solutions? While typing this there's just about one tune stuck in my head and it's the extremely annoying "New York Skin Solutions" tune that 988 FM plays at the end of the commercial New York Skin Solutions airs. No offense but the tune is plain irritating but at the same time really gets to your head which irritated me further.

Coming back to the point, I finally went ahead for my complimentary first trial facial with New York Skin Solutions on Tuesday (13/08/2013) after postponing it for a week due to the Raya Holidays. Speaking of which, everyone had a good break? I had registered for it when Sarah (I think?) posted it out on her Facebook timeline that we could try and see if we were the first 100 participants who wants to have a go with the facial they had to offer. And the Chinese in me was completely excited because...EXCUSE ME FREE FACIAL OKAY?

They called me up about a week later when I was on a random day out with Steven who wanted to look for the right clothes to go clubbing to fix for an appointment and I just shot a date to them completely forgetting the fact that it was the Hari Raya week. So when they called again to remind me that I had an appointment for the 6th of August, I panicked and switched it to the 13th instead because I knew the traffic in the "golden triangle" of The Curve, IKEA and Tesco would be havoc. They seemed pretty nice on the phone though, allowing me to just throw off my appointment to another day without going all, "Ohhhhh okay laaaaaa," or any of that crap.

I had picked out the branch at The Curve to do my facial because it was closest to home but they have branches elsewhere such as Midvalley, Empire Subang and The Mines just to name a few. It was placed on the 2nd floor of The Curve and there were a few girls who happily greeted me when I walked in. Settling in a room aptly called "Manhattan", I was served by a really nice lady called Jasmine (or was it Annie?) who gave my skin an initial scan to see how it really was. It turns out that my 101 worries of oily skin and clogged pores were...true.


My pores were seriously congested and I had tons of little plugged out holes even deep within my skin. The scan was thorough but non-intrusive because they had this weird scanner that really just resembles the scanner from supermarkets to take "photographs" of your skin condition. I thought it was cool and cleanliness is definitely top in New York Skin Solutions because I noticed how Jasmine cleaned off the scanner with an alcohol swab before scanning my face.
