As part of my quest to pamper myself during pregnancy, I went for a 'Deep Cleansing Facial' at the Spa this morning. An hour and a half of total torture, why do we put ourselves through it? The steps involved in this 1.5 hrs of hell were as follows.
1. Cleanser
2. Peeling mask
3. Exfoliating Scrub Cream
4. Belt Sander used to rub it in
5. 15 mins of VERY HOT STEAM blasted in to my face leaving me unable to breathe.
6. 30 mins of squeezing EVERY SINGLE BLACKHEAD out of my face - of which apparently I have (had) ZILLIONS.
7. Mini vaccum cleaner sucking out anything that was left
8. ELECTRIC SHOCKS applied liberally to my face to 'sterlize' it.
9. Facial Massage (this bit was actually quite nice)
10. 10 min 'firming mask'
11. Toner
12. Moisturiser
13. AT LAST - HOME!!
I am also under strict instructions to not touch my face for the rest of the day, which of course is now the one thing I am absolutely desperate to do.
Feels good though :-)
This afternoon - 1 hr massage ....ahhh the life of Riley (although G would disagree as he is 'working from home' and D is off school with a cough so he's been left babysitting, lol).

At least, despite the steam and belt sander and squeezing and electroshock therapy, you feel good now. So was it all worth it?
