Facial Review: Menard Facial Salon @ Plaza Damas

Its facial time again! How often you go for facial at the professional salon? Once a week, every forthnightly, once a month or never… Actually it will be good if you could go for facial once a week or at least every forthnightly. As for me I try to keep it every forthnightly. Last week I went to Menard Facial Salon at Plaza Damas for my facial. It’s my ‘me’ time for relaxation and pampering. The salon is tuck away in a quiet and serene level 1 at Plaza Damas.

Menard Facial Salon at Plaza Damas

I was greeted by the friendly and gentle Menard beauty advisor, Ms. Jasmine. First and foremost, we started with the skin consultation which skin care that would suitable for my skin type. 

My skin is suitable to use Lisciare range 

I am using Menard Lisciare range to give skin firmness and suppleness by increasing the moisture density of the skin cell. Lisciare with Love-in-a-Mist Extract makes the skin elastic by suppressing the increase of “firmness-reducing substances” and “12 varieties of oriental plant extracts” make the skin brighter and more radiant. Lisciare is an italian word means to polish up.

Menard Keep System product range and prices

Another unique feature of Menard facial salon is they are using regular packing product for all types of facial; unlike others using the salon packing products. In order to encourage customer to visit them regularly preferably 2 weeks once; they offer a unique package deal called “keep system” for customer to purchase products and keep them at the salon. They called the customers who keep products as “keep member”.  By keeping products at the salon customer will be more committed to visit facial salon on a regular basis and it would help beauty advisor to have a better follow-up to make sure customers getting better result.

Menard facial steps

The uniqueness of Menard facial steps standard course is 50 minutes. They studied on how aesthetic can work on our blood, lymph structure and muscles. Base on the human body structure, the movement of lymph vessel and lymph node movement; the facial session is to promote our blood flow and the metabolism.  As we all know we need 28 days to renew our skin cell which we called skin turnover period; during this period we need to remove the dead skin cell, promote the growth of new skin cell and replenish nutrient to the cell in order to have a luminous and radiant skin condition.

After Facial

My experience at Menard Facial Salon, I really love the massage steps. The pressure is not too strong or light, it is just perfect for me. Oh yes, at there is no extraction because extraction will caused damage to the skin. So in order to extract out the impurities, blackheads or whiteheads they use vibration and vacuum equipment. I actually fall asleep during my facial because it’s so comfortable and relaxing. After the facial I can see that my skin is more supple, smoother, brighter and glowing, especially the area around my nose feels smoother.
