Why do I have dead skin?

Unsightly, stubborn, hardened, dry dead skin appear again on my foot, strangely this condition mostly appear on the joint of my right big toe.  And when I was trying to find out the appropriate name for this part of my toe,

I learn from the net that the protruding part of my toe (as pictured) is actually a problem that can be treated. Now, I know it's called bunion. Cutting and clipping the dead skin away is not a solution as it will come back again, leaving a very rough surface.

I know those footcare shops can be answer to my condition. But, yucks! I can't stand the pungent smell of those shops and what if I am caught walking out of this kind of shop by someone I know?

Perhaps, it's time to visit my pedicurist.

Beauty does not come cheap

The only thing I don't like about visiting a beauty salon is you will end up with a lighter pocket and go back with a bagful of skincare products.

To solve my skin tag and pigmentation problems, I was advised to use more products.

Exfoliant

Power masque  for my skin tag problem

Hydrating booster to hydrate my dry skin

Barrier repair good for my pigmented skin

I only bought the exfoliant as I still have supply of booster and barrier repair (from free samples I got earlier) and it came in an offer package which has a small-sized hydrating booster.  I have no choice but to part with my money for the sake of a more youthful skin.  Otherwise, what I will get will be aging and dull-looking pigmented skin.

How to solve my skincare problems?

I have finally found help.  I have requested to transfer to another centre, hoping that I can get the advice and service I need from my previous beauty consultant.  You see, this beauty consultant who is the supervisor of the outlet has long been transferred to another outlet.  I will call her SF.  After some waiting, I was finally able to meet her for my first facial session at this centre at Ampang.

Although she wasn't able to attend to me personally, she had made sure that I was taken care of by an experienced beauty consultant. True enough.. This experienced consultant gave me a lengthy explanation of what skin tag is and why I have them. She also analysed my skin in detail and enlightened me of my problems and how to overcome them.  She made sure I understood them and gave me the necessary advice.

So, she had extracted all my so-called skin tags which the consultant at the previous outlet neglected to do.  They were not exactly skin tags but have the potential to turn into them if I don't take good care of them.  According to her, they were white heads which have hardened and were quite stubborn to be removed.  Only an old hand like her can handle these problems.

Whatever it was, I walked out of the salon, feeling satisfied that my skin problems are being attended to and that I will be undergoing a series of 'repair' sessions which this consultant promised.  She assured me that she would help me to solve my problems provided I heed her advice to go for regular facial session and adhere to  regular skincare regime.

Now, this is what I call service for the money that we part with.
