New Subject Area...Skincare

Class Location:The Face Shop

It's a shame that I've been in the UAE for almost 3 years, have seen this store whenever I come to the city but completely ignored it. Well that was until earlier this week but let's rewind. I've struggled with my oily acne prone skin for well over 15 years now. In the past few months I've been becoming more and more consistent with my skincare regimen but the cleanser I was using was harsh(even though I didn't realize it) and the other products were eh ok. Now I'm also youtube obsessed-learning people, learning. I stumbled across this video below by The Island Beauty. In this video she talks about some Asian skincare products and how she incorporates them to keep her skin healthy. She also mentioned her skin was similar to mine! So I decided I would give the masks she talks about a try the next time I saw them.

Well as fate would have it I went to Abu Dhabi Mall in search of a new battery for my Dell. Sadly I could not find the battery but I ran across The Face Shop. For the first time I stepped in and my skincare life will never be the same! The sales lady, though initially a bit standoffish warmed up and was so sweet, explained my options and recommended two masks to me-Mung Bean and Rice. After trying the Mung Bean Mask  and a few of the samples I was sold! I went back and dropped probably more than I should have on skincare products. However these should last me a good 2-3months so I feel justified.

After I told her I was leaving the UAE she also gave me more samples! And who doesn't love free samples. I told her how I loved the Papaya mask so she gave me a 6week supply! I can't wait to share some of these goodies with my Mom, sister and cousin when I go home for a short visit!
