La Arrogancia De La Niña

Read Posts 1-3 titled Betty, My Betty to catch up to the character analysis that I will be talking about here.

A little background: After Armando dropped Betty off he went to Marcela's apartment. He seemed indecisive if he wanted to stay or leave as he walked towards the dining table and then towards the elevator, spun and went back to the dining room while we heard Betty's monologue.

At first glance I did think Armando pulled away from Marcela because he had just been kissing with Betty. Though we know that he has been able to kiss Marcela even when he's snuck off with his models, so it's not guilt. When he goes to brush his teeth he says that he can't be kissing Marcela after kissing Betty, that if she found out she'd kill him.

From the very few interviews that I have seen about the characters I remember Jorge Enrique saying that Armando is obsessed with perfection, especially in women and because of that he is very impatient with Betty because she doesn't fit that vision of his.

Armando isn't physically attracted to Betty, that's a fact and the reason why he lives in such denial but he still acts with deliberation.

Just because he is in denial about his feelings it doesn't excuse the things he does knowing exactly what he feels about them.

Armando earases Betty's trace from him in this scene and after that he no longer feels guilty, he stares at Marcela and admires her beauty. He kisses her telling her how he needed to see her, how badly he needed her to help him forget the horrors of the day.

In this scene what caught my attention was that he makes eye contact with her like nothing. With Betty at the office he struggled to make eye contact with her or hold it. The only time he managed to was when the topic was only about work but when the conversation was over he couldn't look at her or make eye contact for longer than a second with her.

With Marcela he's able to hold eye contact, conversation, touch her, kiss her, tell her how he needs her. This parallels allows us to understand the reason being that one relationship is only based on physicality while the other one is based on person/human connection.

When their scene for that night comes to a closing Armando and Marcela are kissing and he has his eyes open and the exact same expression he had with Betty. He closes his eyes for a second and they pull away and hug. He looks confused and then rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Here he is now feeling the effects of the kiss with Betty. He kissed her sober. He felt something again and unlike before he can't excuse it for being drunk so when he now kisses Marcela and he realizes that he feels off or not like before, he chucks it for guilt and dismisses the topic from his mind.

Now that we've got this background let's proceed to the scene at hand.

Mario and Armando go to have a briefing about the previous night.

When you're writing dialogue(if it comes naturally to you) you don't pick and choose every word used and think about the impact it holds. That is why it's so important to know your characters and understand them before you start writing. It's important to understand their role, who they are, everything inside and out, and then writing comes naturally. Once you've learned to distinguish their voice, their tone in writing your conscious becomes invisible and everything comes from your subconscious. In the first draft you go unfiltered. You pour out your tears, your blood, you whole heart into it, and when you rewrite it to polish it you go into detail. You remove the bits that don't really make an impact and you find the words that really push your point across.

Writing is truthfully, in my humble opinion, the art that truthfully transfers you and evokes emotion like no other. I paint, I write songs, I draw and I do all these other artistical things but writing, the gift that I rejected for years, is the most comforting and the most beautiful of all arts. When done right you don't only make people travel among space and dimensions but you cause a huge impact in their intelectual person. A pen and paper are the most dangerous weapons.

You might be wondering why I'm even talking about this on this post but it's important to understand and credit the true mastermind behind this story as he wrote it by himself, be it at a rush with no time, with all the time in the world, money or no money, he wrote something that impacted an entire world and inspired change.

A ruthless man falls in love with a beautiful woman.

You can say "but Betty isn't beautiful." and that's where the message is lost. Betty is beautiful. Beauty, people often think is based on the physical appearance of something or someone but Beauty is the essences of something or someone. We don't look at the sunset and think it's only beautiful because of it' colors. We look at it and think it's beautiful because of its power, of it's essences, and it's presens. We are in awe of its magnificence and that makes it beautiful.

So Betty is beautiful.

Betty is deserving of love, kindness, respect, faithfulness, loyalty, and so so much more because she is utterly beautiful.

Fernando's intention was to teach us that. That beauty is not skin deep. Beauty is the heart of someone and their impact in the people around them.

Armando isn't beautiful at the start of this. He is an ugly human being but with qualities that make him passible. To find his beauty you have to really dig into him.

The true monster here is Mario, but Armando is guilty for simply allowing Mario to continue this way.

Mario asks him if they kissed and Armando tells him that he kissed her twice.

Let's start.

"Well you know what I ended up not liking? Come over here that I'm gonna tell you more" Armando stands up and walks to the double doors and stands under the door frame of his office and the meeting room. Mario follows him.

"Imagine that this woman last night got hooked on that I couldn't be crazy about her. That I couldn't be obsessed for her. That she doesn't have enough qualities for me to fall in love with her."

What does Armando's body language tell us? Like last night, it truly boggles or frustrates him that Betty says things. It's almost like if he found it an insult for Betty to insinuate these things. Here his hand is moving vastly in the air making points of what Betty told him, his is speaking fast and his tone is frustrating all of this indicates he is offended or angry that Betty would think that of him.

in short translation: How could Betty think that I wouldn't be attracted to her? Crazy about her? Why, am I just a stupid superficial man? Who only cares about women's bodies and not who they are as a person? That she doesn't have any qualities that would drive me crazy and be obsessed with her?

Obviously he isn't going to tell this to Mario or really himself either.

"Well she isn't naive. She's seen herself in a mirror." Mario jokes.

"Of course but I had to name a bunch of qualities to convince her."

"Qualities?" he whispers.

"Yes." he whispers aggressively.

"Tell me, that imagination and creativity of yours; What qualities did you have to tell her?"

Armando shrugs and starts to mumble incoherently and Mario interrupts him.

"And did they[she] believe you?"

"Well I hope so."

"Did you kiss her?"

"I said yes. I kissed her twice." He whispers annoyed.

"What did she say? Are you both dating? Did she accept that she's crazy for you?" Mario sounds too excited with the last questions which gives the impression that he likes to hear all of this which is just gross.

Armando gives us a micro expression of confusion, it seems like his hands are inside his pockets and he shrugs and shakes his head.

"Well man that's what's weird about it. I did tell her I was obsessed with her, that I'm dying for her, but she's not of me." Mario gasps, shocked. "That she thinks I'm a very interesting man, that she admires me a lot, that I've been real special with her for a lifetime but that no, that's the only thing she finds attractive of me." Armando's quick pace but without stutters or word fillers allows us to know that he is confident in what he is saying(he's thought about this a lot) but nervous about what it means.

Mario gasps again and tells him "Do me the favor. The arrogance of that girl. You almost don't convince her, you have to kiss her two times and after that she tells you, Hey, I admire you." Between this cluster of words we see Armando thinking hard. He really is bothered or worried about Betty not really showing an interest in him.

Our egos are a huge part of who we are. We want to be liked by people and accepted, it's part of our genetic makeup. We are sociable beings. Now, if I told my boss that I admired them and that they always treated be respectfully and respected my job I think my boss would feel pretty happy about that. It would boost his ego.

Armando however isn't acting like that. If he was truly unbothered by Betty and her feelings towards him(it isn't because of the plan) than he'd just chuck it in a bin and say he'll work on it. He's literally spent two days with Betty since the kiss, he wants Betty to be fawning over him now?

His ego is hurt, his man ego. He wants Betty to like him, to like him as a man and not her boss and it isn't because of the plan because if it were than the man would understand that steady wins the race but he's an impatient man who wants Betty on the same page he's in.

"Yeah, yeah, see I think she still has that guy Nicolas stuck in her head." (ARMANDO IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS, THREE DAYS! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?)

"No." Mario whispers.

"Yeah and I don't like it at all. Look at what she left on my desk this morning."

Now they turn their backs to the office and face the meeting room. While Mario holds the chocolate bar in his hand he tells a worried Armando:

"Aw but how sweet. Now, see this is a good sign."

"Really? Is it? You think so?" he says hopeful.

"Aw, man, please."

"Really?It is?" he looks at the chocolate bar in Mario's hand and then stares off, concentrated, in what Mario is saying.

"Look this means she accepts the relationship?"

"Really?" he whispers hopeful.

"Now you have to consecrate-" Armando shifts, now he rest his hand on Mario's shoulder and starts to bite his thumb nail as he listens closely to Mario, the love guru. "You have to eradicate from her head and heart that guy Nicolas Mora, want some?" he asks after taking a piece of chocolate out.

"Yeah, keep going." he takes a piece out too. "keep going that I like what you're saying."

Here the opportunity he's been waiting for presents itself. Betty accepting the relationship gives room for him to remove Nicolas from her love life, therefore leaves him in the center of it.

"These ugly[women] like Betty are very romantic." Armando nods. "So then you have to create a routine of a boyfriend." Armando nods, agreeing. "You have to feed the illusion, you have to maintain the relationship alive." once again Armando nods in agreement and with his hands gestures that he wants to hear more. "because starting from this point on my dear sir you are now the boyfriend of Beatriz Pinzon Solano." Armando's eyes are wide, lips pursed together(could be because he has chocolate in his mouth) and hands in pickets, he turns to his left, away from Mario for a brief second and has a face of "Are you for real?"

"But but how will-what kind of gifts, things do you mean?"

"Look brother, romance is like a bonfire. If you don't feed it the passion extinguishes. It's that simple. We shouldn't call this a win. I think Betty isn't sure about how serious your are[about your feelings]. You have to work on her more, make her fall in love and you have to show her that this is something very serious, you understand me?"

"But what kind of job that I have to do?"

That's the end of that scene.

Later when Mario and him are talking how to go about with the gifts and romantic details we get confirmation(post Thank You...) that when it comes to the physical of it, Armando pictures AA instead of Betty.

From here once again we do get a clear understanding that Armando is confused and when he's not confused(very different emotions) he is in denial of it. He is worried about the company. Mario only ever brings it up when he sees that emotions aren't motivating Armando enough to continue with the plan.

I think it's very important to understand the intention of what we are being shown here. The writing is meant to help us understand what they are saying. Words, speed of speech, gestures, expressions, and body language help us determine what is actually being said.

When Mario suggest that he take Betty to some tavern or club instead of restaurants Armando says that he doesn't think Betty will like those.

I think we've all established that Armando does care about Betty and therefore I don't need to breakdown his behavior so much. We understand that he is going along with this plan because he wants to keep Eco Moda and Betty all to himself.

Mario, The Love Guru, Calderon takes advantage of Armando's ego and his confused state of mind as of late to play him like a fidel and for some reason still when Armando finally confesses his real feelings for Betty to him he acts surprised.

Armando isn't a saint. He still willinging went along with the plan to make Betty fall in love so when Betty asked him "what about me?" he showed his true colors of selfishness because he dismissed her feelings. He dismissed the potential heartbreak and downfall of a woman who has been exceptional with him, who he recognizes as exceptional and yet for his ego and his company he used her like a pawn, even if it was his favorite one, he didn't care.

For him right now Betty is just an object that he likes a lot and these scene show us that.

[EDIT: While yes I still think Armando still views Betty as an object, this next scene shows us that that is starting to change.]

As the scene continues Mario tries to downplay Armando's guilt by saying that he's basically doing charity work because no man, especially one like him[Armando] would ever be interested in, muchless court, a woman like Betty.

Armando goes to clarify what he's trying to saying.

"You don't understand what I'm trying to say. I'm going to end up causing her harm. See I can tell it's really easy to get her to fall in love. " Now we hear from that man of the hour, how he feels about Betty's kiss though he only describes the way she kisses him, his expressions and his tone of voices allows us to see that he likes her kisses and how they make him feel, however because he thinks she's "ugly" it's hard for him to understand this.

"Everytime she kisses me it's with such a tenderness, a sweetness, where she holds my face and stares at me with such an admiration, like if I were her idol." While he says he speaks of it with fondness and I must admit, lovingly.

He doesn't hate her kisses and he doesn't hate the way he feels about them. So he didn't wipe away Betty's kisses and brush his mouth because of Betty's kisses because he was disgusted. He did it for Marcela and her ego and his guilt because the kisses meant more to him than any other kisses he's ever given, that's why the first kiss was strange. That's why he is so confused about it but what stops him again from understanding the significance of these feelings is Betty's outer appearance.

This is now trekking away from the objectification of Betty to a more sentimental route where he no longer just views her as his possession but an actual person.

The moment Calderon jokes "It's because you are her idol." Armando shuts off, he stops trying to explain himself or his feelings and annoyed asks Mario what does he think of the whole thing then?

"When we recover Eco Moda, pay off our debts, and recover our money, what then? What happens to her? What happens with that relationship?"

"Well you do what you do with every girlfriend that becomes a burden. You fire her, you get rid of her."

Remember that Armando was willing to fire Claudia, until Mario made him feel guilty for the lecture he gave him about Aura Maria. Even then after Marcela asked for her head he didn't hesitate to talk to Hugo about it, who gave him a lecture about it.

However he was hesitant to fire Betty, even before there was any romance involved. He didn't want to get rid of her so now that Mario says that once she gives them back everything they can get rid of her Armando looks at him in disbelief and angry.

Armando really doesn't want to ever have Betty outside of his life and he can't imagine his life without her in it in someway or form.

Now, Patty goes in yelling, Armando shows up, kindly speaks to Betty while aggressively speaks to Patty.

Again this display's Armando's guilt but also his desire to make Betty happy by treating her well.

Blue Velvet - Chapter II

Title: Blue Velvet Genre: Fanfiction Pairing: General Hux x oc Rating: teen | up Word count: 1671 Chapter (s): 2/10 Warnings: implied sexual content, making out, non explicit sex, some sort of emotional manipulation ???

Additional tags: original planet, original food, original alien characters

Symbols: ✔ | ➕ | ▶ Read the previous chapters here: Chapter 1

Chapter II - Remarkable

I surprised myself by catching the attentions of a mysterious man in the front row. When the show was over, I didn't want to stay and face the people of the audience, so I tried to leave the place before anyone noticed, but my plans ended up frustrated by the intriguing man, who introduced himself as a General of the First Order.

"Your name is for your life what a lightsaber is for a Jedi"

(Proverb from Odbeei)

He was in the front row, at my left. I’ve never seen him before; I had no idea of who he must be. The only thing I knew for sure is that he was someone with a considerable level of importance, by the fact that he was there. However, something made me concentrate my attention on his figure, and under the appropriate limits, I started to observe him.

He certainly was not from Odbeei. His posture, the color of his skin and stuff like that made it clear he was a foreigner. Besides, his clothing style didn’t follow the planet’s fashion: unlike the vibrant tones we used to wear, they were black from head to toe, made with heavy fabric, accompanied by leather gloves and boots, like what we see in the closet of any inhabitant of cold regions.

I don’t know how long I’ve been looking, but I was sure it was for just a few seconds. Maybe time had deceived me, because someone at his side touched his arm, and his eyes turned to the stage, finding my own with the celerity of a blaster shot. I lowered my eyes at this, aware that my face must got as red as fire. For some kind of miracle, I managed to keep singing without messing up a single note after that.

At some point when the end of the night was approaching, I had the audacity of look at his direction again. I confirmed my suspicions: he had his gaze on me, and I also noticed that, while trying not to turn it away, he leaned toward a man sitting by his side (and who must have come with him, for he followed the same dress code) and whispered something; the man gave him a quick answer and he nodded, returning to his original posture and dedicating all his attention to the stage.

***

The people responsible for the financial matters of the club had the code of my bank account, so there was no need to discuss about the cache. I have to say that I used to find it quite an unpleasentness when I dealt with less prominent clubs, but with houses like that I’d have nothing to worry about.

I walked back to the room that was reserved for me as soon as I could. I removed my makeup, changed my clothes and prepared to leave the place, without questioning if it wasn’t appropriate to stay and socialize with the people of the audience. You see, I received no instructions on this matter, as well as I had no interest in playing this part. There was not much that people like that could say or do to keep me entertained, for their behavior would always lead them to one of these three lines of action: they would talk between them and treat me like I was a part of the scenario, or they would try to flatter me (though I can’t see what they could get from that) or – the worst of all – they would try to get certain services from me that I had neither the need or the intention to offer.

Outside the dressing room, I asked a woman of the staff for the less crowded exit corridor, and after her instructions, I followed toward there. It was a long corridor, as illuminated as much as the other places, and its floor was covered by a soft carpet.

This detail didn’t let me notice I was not alone there.

- Is the mysterious vanishing a part of the show?

Though I still didn’t know his voice and my ears got a bit surprised by his foreign accent, there were no doubts about who had spoken.

I turned to find him in the middle of the corridor. I must've let a considerable astonishment show, because he smiled at the possibility of seeing me run away without answering his question, and started to walk toward me, his steps unhurried, his hands behind his back. However, like something in his way were attracting my eyes to his spot in the audience, now the same thing, trait – I don’t know how to call it – didn’t let my feet move.

It was only when he stopped before me that I noticed how young he was; it was strange that even being able to do a good examination of his appearance, I didn’t have connected his person to something like youth until now. Perhaps because of his seriousness, or the unusual black clothing, or something else. Something that had nothing to do with the superficial, but with the inner self. He was a head taller than me; shaping his face there was an impressive jawline; his rosy lips didn’t seem to be used to spontaneous smiles, which didn’t make them any less pleasing to look at; the blue shade of his eyes was almost transparent, if compared to the natives’ eyes; his hair had an exotic orange tone, and his skin was pale like the skin of someone who spent several months of the year away from direct sunlight. None of these were common to the people of Odbeei.

Finally, I could speak.

- The mysterious vanishing is just... a mysterious vanishing, Sir.

His smile widened.

- I see. Social demands scare you.

- No. They just wear me out.

The counterpoint didn't make him lose his temper.

- However, it would be a shame if you left without hearing a single word about your performance, Miss. Allow me to say that it was... Remarkable.

I know I blushed, and I couldn’t do anything about it.

- Thank you, Sir... – that was when I noticed we didn’t introduce ourselves; I saw a strange badge on his coat, right upon his forearm: the same symbol I saw on the holonews early that day – I suppose you are a member of the First Order?

He soon offered to respond.

- You are right. My apologies for not introducing myself in an appropriate way. I am General Armitage Hux – he offered me his gloved hand – I hope you don’t mind telling me your name, Miss.

I touched his palm with the points of my fingers; I couldn’t help thinking of it as trap when his hand clenched around them. But the grip wasn’t strong, and I saw no reasons to untie it.

- I believe they announced my name before my entrance, General. It’s Lilly.

Then he held my hand a little more firmly.

- No. What I’m asking for is your real name, Miss.

For a moment, I was unable to move or speak. I don’t know if what startled me was the question itself or the fact that he was aware of the name culture that existed among our artistic scene. Today I understand that this rule was never exclusive of Odbeei, but for some reason I didn’t think someone like him would care about these matters. Well, at least he must had not understand how unusual it was to ask an artist their real name.

But the question was not rhetorical, and I heard myself revealing my name to him, something I’ve never done since I came to that city.

- Lorna – I whispered.

After a long time not using it, the name my parents gave to me sounded weird to my own ears. I thought I wasn’t convincing, so I repeated it, more for myself and less for him.

- My name is Lorna – and added – It’s not the most charming name you’ll hear in your life, Sir. Now you understand why I don’t use it openly.

He smiled. He didn’t hurry to answer; instead, he lowered his eyes to our hands, united, and took mine to his lips. They were warm – not cold as one part of me insisted to imagine as soon as I could see him so close. I believe he took a bit longer than what’s usual for greetings of that kind, but the discovery of that detail about his lips suffocated any discomfort.

When he straightened up, his answer was just like his kiss.

- I understand that no name can be charming if the owner is not. Whether it is the name you were given, or the one you have chosen for yourself.

I didn’t know what to say to that. I didn’t know what to think, neither about what he was saying or what he was doing; that was such an unusual man, and I think he would be in any planet he would put his feet on. I found it better to end the conversation and say goodbye.

- If you excuse me, Sir, I need to go now. I’m really tired.

That was true, but I’m not sure if my justification convinced him. Anyway, I was determined to go away at that moment, and it didn’t go unnoticed by him. The General let me remove my hand from his and put his own behind his back, taking a step behind and nodding.

- Go. A time for rest is more than deserved after an exciting night like this.

He said this more calmly than it was conceivable, or maybe I was so tired as I wanted to look and thus unable to judge his tone with precision. I nodded and turned my back to him, hurrying to reach the exit door. When I first breathed the fresh air of the night, my heart calmed down and the strange sensation in my throat was gone. There were still some people of the public lingering at the club’s surroundings – probably those ones who exceeded themselves with alcohol – but I did my best to avoid them and ran to the nearest public transport station.

For the rest of the night, after spending hours awake, lying on my bed, I kept thinking about how strange that he showed no hurry in his treating. But it was only a few days after that the reason for that became clear.

He was expecting to meet me again.

New Generation Chemical Peel in Singapore Review

Trying out New Generation Chemical peels from Ekseption Medical

Chemical Peel, a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. If used correctly, chemical peels could even work better than laser treatments. Recently, I was invited by Xmedicimports to the aesthetic chemical peel training event held for aestheticians in Singapore to try out I was excited to attend the event, having the privilege to try out and experience the new generation peels from Ekseption medical.

Ekseption products are pharmaceutical grade and made in Spain. They are ISO certified and products are free from endotoxins which most products contain. Their strict filtration process are among the top in the industry where only 2 other manufacturers in the world match. These make Ekseption products a staple in many clinics internationally, even in leading beauty market like Korea. The chemical peel course was conducted by Xmedicimports Training Academy, the only authorised training academy for Ekseption medical in asia.

During the event, I met two lovely bloggers featured in the photo - Serene of Xavvy-licious and Sowmya of My Fusion World.

Aesthetic Chemical Peel Training Event by Xmedicimports | eKseption Aesthetics Training Asia

Aestheticians from various clinics and salon were trained to perform a detailed patient assessment, to understand the history and lifestyle of the patient and to examine their skin condition and to understand their concern. The group that I was assigned to was from Spa esprit.

The aestheticians were also taught in-depth on chemical peel types, the skin anatomy, the characteristic and strength of various acids, stages of skin wounding, proper patient evaluation and the proper selection of peels for different patient.

Chemical Peel Course Training Session

The training session continues with a demonstration from the trainer, she taught on the proper applicator tools to use for different consistency of the chemical acids and how to properly condition the skin for the peel. The application method and technique were also meticulously explained. She also touched on the pH for acids, neutralizer and products that are so important when performing a good chemical peel procedure. The aesthetician also learned on the techniques to perform different peels like oil-based, water-based, or alcohol-based peels which requires much different approach.

There are so many different types of chemical peel suitable for people of different skin types. It is interesting to learn about most of them.

Types of chemical peel from Ekseption Medical

Retinol peel - acne / sun damage /rough texture

White-up peptide peel - pigmentation and dark spots

Ageless peptide peel - fine and deep lines

Water infusion peel - dry skin

Couperix peel - rosacea , broken capillaries

Caviar peptide peel - rejuvenation

Pure skin peel - acne / oily skin with open pores

Ferulic peel - brightening and glow

Soft touch peel - sensitive skin

Cleansing our faces with Ekseption Salicylic Powder

After the demonstration, it’s time for the aestheticians to practice on performing the peels

We had prepared our face cleansing with Ekseption Salicylic Powder cleanser. This facial foaming powder helps cleanse and exfoliate the skin at the same time, removing the dirt and grime and leaving the skin osft and breathable. It is also preservative, sulphate and PEG free, and have an excellent ecological profile.

This botanical-based brightening exfoliator without harsh ingredients helps brighten and even skin tone without chemical abrasives. The natural papaya enzymes work to eliminate dry, dull surface cells and toxins to reveal a soft and smooth complexion. This mild cleanser suits especially oily acne prone skin or skin that is prone to black and whiteheads. By using this cleanser, it improves the penetration of other treatment products due to the removal of dead surface cells.

Ekseption Salicylic Powder Cleanser

To use this, wet both hands and pour a dime size of powder in a hand. Rub hands together to transform it into a rich and creamy foam in your hands. Massage gently over face and neck for 30-60 seconds. Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry with a soft towel. This cleanser is scentless and it helps stimulates cellular renewal, for brighter skin; Reduces skin pigmentation and; enlighten the skin tone.

I like how the cleanser is scentless and helps thoroughly remove my mild makeup from my sensitive skin without any skin irritation.

Ferulic Acid Peptide Peel

The ferulic acid peptide peel was performed on my sensitive skin. This superficial peel is used to treat skin ageing and neutralize free radicals. The peel was left for 3 minutes before it was neutralised with an Ekseption Hyaluronic carboxy neutraliser. It was a new experience for me. My skin reached a BOHR effect where I feel a fresh oxygenated sensation. After the peel, the Ekseption ice cream repair cream was applied to hydrate, repair and balance my skin.

The unique thing about the Ferulic acid peptide peel is that although it is a strong anti-oxidant peel, it is gentle and non-drying, giving an immediate glow to the skin. Plus, Ferulic acid has photoprotective properties that help everyone including those that have pigmented skin.

Chemical Peel Review - Ferulic Acid Peptide Peel

At first, I was worried about how the chemical peel would irritate my sensitive skin but it did not. The aestheticians from Spa Esprit Group have over 8 years of experience and they pick up the training fast from the trainer, a skin patch test was done to test for any immediate reaction prior to the actual peel. Overall the peel was very comfortable, it has no irritation or pain. We were also advised on the proper post peel care and the importance of sun protection post peel.

Chemical Peel Before

Before the chemical peel process, my skin felt tight, looked dull and have slight redness on my cheeks.

Chemical Peel After

After the chemical peel process, my skin looks hydrated it was glowing. I look so much healthier in general. The redness on my cheeks has also diminished. I do feel very moisturised afterwards.

Chemical Peel Before After

You can see the obvious difference before and after the Ferulic Acid Peptide Peel. My skin not only look fairer and feel smoother but it was also glowing. I enjoyed the process.

Certificate giving ceremony

At the end of the course, the trainees that have passed the exams are certified at the certificate giving ceremony. You can check out the interview on Xmedicimports Facebook page where I interviewed some of these participants on their thoughts before and after the exam.

It was an eye opener for aestheticians to improve their knowledge and handling on chemical peels. Clinics and salons should really explore these new general peels out.
