Skin problem and Kiehl’s

Noticed che-che’s has a terrible breakout since the last few weeks, which is rare. Told her to find a salon and go facial. Talked but she didn’t do anything, so it means her mother has to do it right? 

Facial services
Now the question is where? Bring her back to my beautician which I haven’t gone back since before covid? Other salons? Where? And I really hate those hard selling packages. Which is why I haven’t been back to my beautician coz they keep wanting to sell products if not new packages. Then I remembered Kiehl’s has a (new?) facial service in Singapore. Not sure when they had that in SIN but I was surprised when I came across a pamphlet when I was in NYC and thought it’ll be nice if we have it here. It’s not easy to make appointment with them, a lot of days even weekdays are fully booked. Finally managed to book her appointment at the end of September. I should book one for myself for another day to try it out. At least if Kiehl’s wanted to hard selling any products, we might have them. 

Possible cause(s)
I believe she is under a lot of stress at work, yet during today’s lunch I saw her scratching her arms and asked if it’s allergic reaction itchy. This girl is mono-syllabic and hardly answers us unless it’s something that she’s interested in, answered me “dunno”. Dr Teo thinks it could also be (1) dry skin coz she never puts any moisturiser + sleeping in aircon room. (2) never use her Cetaphil. She has been using the normal body wash. Lil’ one chipped in “but it’s goat milk” thinking it’s pure. I don’t study the ingredients of both Cetaphil and goat milk but I’m sure there’ll be some ingredients that people with sensitive skin shouldn’t be touching. The price difference tells it all right? Cetaphil is so expensive, Aveda and Kiehl’s is so expensive. I will have to monitor her, worst come to worst bring her back to Dr Chu. 

Honestly I don’t baby the two of them to make sure they follow the facial cleansing regime. Please lah! 23 and 19 still expect me to nag and pull them into the toilet and slap the lotion on them meh? Past few days I notice she was slapping masque almost on a daily basis. But somehow the a-little-smart-me suspected that she shouldn’t be using the Rare Earth Deep Pore mask at this time, I couldn’t tell her coz she wouldn’t believe me and I may be wrong. Anyway, decided that since she’s working today we should drop by Kiehl’s in TMall to check which products to use.

@ Kiehl’s 
Haven’t been shopping in Kiehl’s since a year ago. Officially downgraded to Ruby 😂. I might be downgraded again after Sep 2025? 🤣




It must be a blessing in disguise, I actually have a $20 voucher that will expire on 1st Sep. Just nice I can use it. 

Brought items to recycle. They do accept bottles and containers of items that is only available in the US as well. Yah! I just brought that hugeass bottle of Calendula facial cleanser. 




Recommended some items which we don’t have and to use what I have at home. And 我猜对咯, she shouldn’t use that mask. 

Took pic at home on these products I have at home related to acne usage

Bought 4 items 


Have 4 travel size to choose from 

How is it I’ve never seen the soft cream before? I use the rich & nourishing cream for my going to age anytime soon skin.  


Needed to know the difference between the two



The samples. We have lots at home. lol 

Since on the topic on Kiehl’s, decided to dig up whatever I have posted on FB before. All for my memory sake.
