SKINC Supplement Bar, Regent Square @ Kiulap

Although Food Hungry has always been known as a food blog but I've always wanted to blog bout other stuffs..... something which is more towards lifestyle and traveling. But sadly to say, this would require more funds and currently I do not have the ability to afford it. Thus, if there is anyone who is generous enough to sponsor us, we'll be more than happy to do it! :P

Anyways, weeks ago I was invited by Brenda, the person in charge of SKINC to attend their award winning party at their outlet located at Kiulap Regent Square. It was a private party for their clients thus I felt very honored to be invited!

Just in case you don't know, SKINC is the world's first skin supplement bar which originates from Japan and honestly speaking, I was quite shocked to find out that there was a bar opening in Brunei during the first week of its establishment. Later then I found out that it was a 'skin supplement' bar and not the bar that sells alcoholic beverages, lol! In addition, SKINC has also received numerous awards and consistently being covered in several renowned magazines like Harper Bazaar, Nu You, Her World and so on.

I must say it is a very new concept and their product range is pretty different from other skin care brands as SKINC focuses more on pure and active serum and aims at bringing convenience to its clients. I know that not everyone is hardworking in maintaining daily facial regime. There are people that I know who don't use skin care products at all, not even facial cleanser. There are also people that I know who only use cleanser, toner and moisturizer. As for me, I guess I belong to the hardworking category because my daily skin care routine consists of at least 6 steps. Yes, at least 6 steps! Cleanser + toner + emulsion + moisturizer + pore minimizing essence + eye gel + sunblock (optional). And I have to repeat these steps at night and replace the last step with night mask.

It's tough and troublesome to be a female but like the Chinese proverb always says,
"There is no ugly woman in this world but lazy woman"

Therefore, I die die also have to be the hardworking woman lah!

But with SKINC bringing its new concept in town, things can change. Woman no longer have to endure those fussy steps in maintaining their daily skin care routine. With wide range of products available in SKINC, you can customize your own skin care serum that suits your skin with maximum results shown on your skin after using it. Instead of having different bottles of skin care products, you can have them all mixed in a bottle and just apply it twice per day. Now you get why is it called a bar! By mixing different serum into a bottle for your daily dose is just like a cocktail blend. If you're a person who travels a lot, this is definitely for you as it save lots of space in your luggage.

Upon arrival, I was welcomed by Brenda and given a brief tour. I was very impressed with SKINC's interior design. It's very minimalistic and with white as the base color of the theme, it allowed those colorful supplement bottles to stand out and this combination turn out to be pretty interesting and artistic. There is even a lounge area with circular couch where clients are able to sit there and relax.

There were few rooms available for the facial treatment and one of it was meant for two. In other words, if you wanna have facial treatment done with your mom or daughter or friend, you're able to do it. Just remember to make a appointment with SKINC in advanced to avoid disappointment as there is only one 2-beds room available.

After touring the outlet and being briefed on SKINC products, immediately I made an appointment for their signature facial treatment and had it done last Saturday. Before the facial treatment started, I was asked to fill in a questionnaire which the questions were all regarding the condition of my skin. After answering the questions, the system would analyse my current skin condition and several recommendations were listed. As the maximum number for combination of serums is three, I choosed to have the combination of Hyaluronic Acid serum + Placenta serum + Vitamin C serum.

I must say it was sooooooo awesome! After the facial I felt that my skin revived and started to breathe again! The reason why I felt that is because I don't have the habit of pampering myself with facial service even though I am pretty hard working in keeping my daily facial routine and I do know that this is not enough. Another reason is also because every time after facial, my face would turn red due to the extraction step (it's like squeezing to remove black heads, pimples and etc) and it was really painful. But this time I didn't find it pain at all and Vivian (the beautician who served me) even praised me for my level of endurance haha! Well, I would say that's probably Vivian has a pair of magic hands ;)

Similar to normal facial, the facial treatment in SKINC also consists of steps like cleansing, extraction, moisturizing and etc. But what makes it different from others are the two important steps which are Oxy Miracle Peel and Oxy Miracle Infusion. These are something which you can't possibly get it from other beauty saloons. It basically unclogs the skin pores, exfoliates the dead skin and letting the skin breathe again. Not only this, it also helps in hydrating the skin and brighten it by keeping its radiance so that it won't look dull. The outcome was amazingly good and I was really satisfied! Face didn't look red at all and it was much cleaner than before. Other than these, Vivian also helped me in trimming my eyebrows and she even gave me a head and shoulder massage after the treatment. The whole process for the facial treatment lasted for 1 hr and 45minutes.

I might not be good in describing and also explaining the full process but I sincerely think that this is really worth trying. It is always necessary to pamper yourself once in awhile to make yourself happy and relax after a hard time in playing each role in your life. Life is short, so enjoy while you still can!

Wow....I really want to try this! I love the coloured bottles. I love the minimalsm! This just shows that they've got standards! But I'm worried. Is it affordable? How much did your facial cost?

It cost $138 but they do have different price for students if not mistaken. And they also have promotions from time to time so do check out their outlet at Kiulap Regent Square or ring them up for more information! I personally think it's worth the money cause it is a treatment with hi-technology machine used plus their service and it's a well known brand in many places :D
