Diary

Another new experience. Today I went to a beautician for the very first time. My friends have been going on for months about epilating my eyebrows. The eyebrows make a great difference in you female appearance. But I won't fumble around with my brows myself. It is so easy to make mistakes and get a poor result. So I wanted a professional to do it. Anyway my skin could do with a treatment as well, so I decided to go for a complete facial.

I have to admit I was very nervous, because I had no idea about what to expect. But fortunately she was very friendly and patient. So I sat down in the white dentist's chair where I was to be treated like a brave girl...
Too soon! I still had to remove my earrings, my necklace and my blouse. I was allowed to keep on my bra though. After sitting down again and being covered with a blanket, my skin was first treated with a rotating brush. It felt quite good actually and I began to feel much more comfortable. I felt I could trust her and decided to let everything come over me the way she deemed necessary.
After the brushing she started epilating. People had told me this would be painful, but it was not a big deal at all. If you are used to laser hair removals, you can take this without even blinking you eyes. (I kept my eyes comfortably closed and let her go ahead.) It took her quite a lot of time and that is no surprise, because there is a lot of hair growing above my eyes and she had to get the shape right for the first time.
Then my face got a steam-bath. A beam of steam is coming out of a machine and it is directed at your face, while you are comfortably seated in the chair. The steam makes the pores open up, thus making easier to remove blackheads and whiteheads. I thought my face was completely covered with those, but she say it wasn't so very bad at all. And indeed, I have seen my skin improve since I've been using Androcur. Testosterone stimulates the growth of whiteheads or even acne.
The third step was a facial massage. Very relaxing! Again she took ample time to do this and I started to dream away. It is so nice to completely submit yourself to something and just let it happen...
Finally a mask was applied. The mask needs some time to do its work, so she left me alone for a while. The light went off and Sky Radio provided some relaxing music. Now I was completely dozing off and I really started to dream, I nearly fell asleep and I lost all sense of time. I was able to count the number of songs that were played: About five, so I must have waited for about fifteen minutes. The mask was removed with a cleansing milk and finally a rather fatty cream was applied. That was the end of the facial, so I could dress myself again and come downstairs for a cup of tea and to pay the bill. For 25 Euro ($30) she had been working with me intensively for an hour and a half, so I think that is a pretty good deal! I liked all this very much and I am planning on having such a treatment more often in the future...
