I've experienced and accomplished many things over the course of my lifetime, however I've also missed out on a few of life's great pleasures. Like many women, I don't always take the time (or money) to take proper care of myself, especially when it comes to spa treatments. Sure, I've given myself DIY facials, at home with a steamer and my favorite mask, but I had never received a professional treatment. That was, of course, until I went to the Wei Lang Spa for a treatment.
Going into the treatment, I had a couple of reservations, including the overwhelming fear of the pain of extractions (have I ever mentioned that I'm a total pansy?). What would the aesthetician tell me about my skin? After hearing about the wonderful treatment my gal Kristin of Fashion Style Beauty had at Wei Lang, I had to put any reservations or lingering questions aside. What's the worst that could happen?
The aesthetician who performed my Signature Facial ($130), Anna, was knowledgeable and gentle. After closely examining my skin, Anna shared a few insights and tips. We briefly chatted about products and routines - it was nice to discuss my current favorites with an expert! When she began the extractions I was nervous, however Anna put me at ease. Her technique was swift, gentle and not once did feel uncomfortable. After several rounds of creams, treatments and Anna's expertise, my skin (and my spirit) felt completely renewed, rehydrated and brilliant.
In addition to receiving the Signature Facial, I also experienced the Irresistible Eye Renovation ($50), which was the icing on the cake. I always have serious concerns about my eye area - I am terrified of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet in the surrounding area. This treatment rehydrated, toned and brightened my eye area.
Admittedly after my very first facial experience, I had to ask myself - what the heck was I waiting for? The experience was luxurious and the definition of being pampered. Why wouldn't I want to experience this more often? The Wei Lang Spa was the perfect spa for my first facial experience. The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff was professional and I absolutely cannot wait to return.
