Today I got myself a facial treatment at one of Dr. Murad's beauty facial salon in Da:Men mall in USJ, Subang Jaya.

It was not easy to get a reservation as it is fully booked, however, I manage to get a slot just in time before Christmas.

I wanted to try the Vitamin-C facial treatment, but after doing a quick skin test, I actually require a soothing and hydration treatment for my skin instead. This was also because the beauty consultant, Elly, was really good at explaining to me about my skin condition and which treatment that will be best suited and recommended for my skin type.

To be honest, I was really happy with my skin result and I know it's going to get way better because I did a test in August and I remembered the facial salon then, told me I had lots of wrinkle and fine lines all over my face, my pores on my nose was alarming and I had alot of oils stuck in my pores which causes frequent breakouts and scars. The only product I bought after that was one specific product that I am using once in awhile to remove makeup or to just cleanse my face when I'm not too lazy which I'll share later.

Fine Lines (90% improvement from the last time I scanned in August at another facial saloon)

So this was my skin result test at Murad, and I left with only very few fine lines but if compared to August back then, it was a huge 90% improvement! I told Elly, that my skin used to be worst than this! It was also because I recovered from Shingles earlier this year. So I knew my skin health is deteriorating and I had to do something about it!

Pores, much much smaller especially at my nose area, there was lots of big huge pores at my nose area and near the nose too back in August 2018, but now it has improved so so much!

My skin was still dry at some parts and oily at some parts, I admit I skip alot on masking my face frequently as I should (as advised before this).

The inflammation area, sensitive area is not so prominent anymore! Means great improvement for me and in fact, nothing major to highlight because it's not too serious. My skin health definitely improved!

It was about an hour or so for the facial treatment and it was quite pleasant too! Although, it was kind of painful at some parts especially when Elly attempted to remove the head from my acne. But I like it because it did not swell or scar badly after the treatment, in fact my face felt smooth afterwards.

I must also note that during the facial treatment, there was a steam heat air that is directed at your face to help open the pores and feels really relaxing on your skin. It's like having a facial sauna.

It was a good facial treatment to have! Especially if you need to get those stubborn heads off those stubborn acne.

And after the treatment, you also have a choice to purchase a set of the products back home to use daily. The only thing different is there isn't anyone that can do it for you at home.

This combination is perfect for my skin type for "Day Use"

So if you're really looking for a good facial salon to do a deep thorough cleansing of your face once then you should check Murad out.

When you have been working day-to-night around-the-clock everyday, sometimes you need to rejuvenate, relax and refresh yourself to have neutralize negative energy into a positive one! Even in parenting and motherhood, it's good to unwind and just take yourself out for a good pamper session.

Today, I had the opportunity to unwind and relax my body, mind and soul in Eco-Wellness Sanctuary at Bandar Botanic, Klang.

It was truly an experience fit for a queen! I was really treated with care during my session and the place is really spacious and just have that feel good factor! Upon entering the main entrance, I was amazed at it's wide interiors and welcoming aura. 

We were given slippers to change and a bucket to place our shoes in a bag.

Then we were led into the massage area where they had different segments, upon entry was for the male for foot soak, hand spa, body massage, body scrub; 

There was another door inside that led to the female section for the same spa services. 

It was my first time seeing an establishment such as this with different section split up for different genders. This makes it safer for us females and also its a plus point for the males because very rare you will find a wellness spa centre that caters a section just for gents. However, rest assured, everything in this establishment is completely 110% clean! No hanky panky k...

If you wanted to be treated like pure royalty, they even have an exclusive VIP room with built-in audio and TV for your leisure while relaxing your body as the masseur massages your tired body.

That's not all, we were led upstairs to the massage area and sauna.

Because we were there at late evening, it felt like we booked the whole place for ourselves.

So we were guided to remove our attires to change to a towel wrap and spa robes.

I sat inside the Far Infrared Ray Sauna for 45 minutes-full body (worth RM128), it was my first time experiencing this and the logic behind this, was to warm the body up, to allow for smoother blood flow and also to dispel and toxic from the body through our sweat, at the same time it opens up our pores so that the next Organic Aromatherapy massage session; our body can dispel more wind and toxins, at the same time absorb the goodness of the massage oil. 

In fact, this technology helps to eliminate 7 times more toxins than traditional saunas and burns up to 900 calories in one session. 45 minutes inside the sauna passed quickly because me and my friend chatted away and just enjoy each others company.

After that, we were advised to take a quick bath to feel refreshed for the aromatherapy massage. I had some fun selfie moments with the hairdryer at their dressing room with the huge mirror!

We then got to enjoy another 60 minutes (worth RM88) of Organic Aromatherapy massage. I could choose Lavender oil or Peppermint oil, so I chose Peppermint because I'd love to get those wind out of my body.

The masseur was really good! She did try to control her strength and told me to tell her if I want it softer or harder. I just went with the flow instead, because she was doing a good job. 

Especially targeting my back area near my neck, she said I have a stiff neck and my arms and hands frequently hurt due to my back too. So she helped to relax the muscles abit and prior to the massage session, the whole morning, my right side at the back was aching like I sprained it or overstretched it. But after the massage session it felt better again!

After the massage, we were treated with their Green Tea and we could put our attire back to head home.

It was truly relaxing and welcoming to be here. I may even go back again with my husband. Apparently you can bring your partner along and enjoy your spa session together but the only thing is, it will be done at the male section of the centre because they prohibit any male from entering the female area due to personal privacy. Or just opt. for the VIP section, it's sufficient enough!

Their price range is pretty good too! 

Now they are having a promotion for the following :
