4:34:00 PM

Hello everybody!

I've been crazy busy the past few weeks that i only got the chance to sit down and share this Heart of the Ocean Facial Experience now. So on August 24th, i was one of the lucky ladies who were invited to an exclusive experience to try out Thalgo Indonesia's signature facial.

This is me with my sleepy face after the ultra relaxing Heart of the Ocean Facial, completely makeup free so please excuse the paleness :))

Have you ever heard about Thalgo before? I was not very familiar with the brand yet so i was very glad for this experience, not only i get to try out their wonderful facial (which i LOVE), i also got to learn about them more.

So Thalgo is actually been around for quite sometime, it was founded in 1964 by pharmacist, André Bouclet. What started as an algae-based products for the medical field, the company has grown and expand expotentially to become the leading Marine Cosmetology brand that is now a world leader in Marine Spa. They both supplies products for spas that can only be used and performed by professionals and also over the counter premium products. In Indonesia, their sole distributor is PT Auraluxe Indonesia.

In Surabaya, Thalgo counter can be found in Sogo Pakuwon Mall and there are also a few spas in Surabaya that uses Thalgo's products in their treatments.

Before we started the treatment, a spokesperson from Thalgo give me an introduction to Thalgo and their products. Thalgo believes that the ocean is the source of beauty and health without worry. All of their products are free parabens, mineral oil, GMO and Propylene Glycol, without animal testing and since all the ingredients are derived from the sea, they are totally HALAL

This is one of their super special products, a rubber mask (only available to be used by professional therapists) that i got to use later

After the explanation and introduction, we started the treatment.

Prepping for the treatment

The first product used was Thalgo Reviving Marine Mist, it's smells heavenly and the fine mist sprays evenly and effectively-instantly relaxes me and made me feel better haha. Thalgo Reviving Marine Mist is nourised with marine minerals to fights the effects of modern life like stress and pollution more effectively. It helps complexion to be fresh and radiant, as well as increases the effectiveness of skincare creams that follows. The active ingredients are Sève Bleue from the Oceans and Complex of 27 multi-revitalizing nutrients (8 minerals and trace elements, 18 amino acids and gluconate).

The second step is the usage of Thalgo Express Makeup Remover, also containing

You know i am not much of a massage person, but i have a new found apprieciation for head, neck and back massages-and the massage in the Heart of the Ocean Facial was da BOMB. I was so relaxed i almost fell asleep (this is very rare, only the best treatments can make me feel this way). Not only that, but my insomnia was gone after this and i can fall asleep very easily!

For the massage part, they used Thalgo Oligo-Marine Massage Cream. It's a A marine-based massage facial cream Features an ultra-soft, comfortable texture Formulated with sea water to re-mineralize & hydrate skin Contains macadamia nut oil & raspberry seed oil to condition skin Unveils a softer, smoother, relaxed & revitalized complexion.

Then it's time for mask!

The mask used is the Ultra Hydra Marine Mask. It has an instant replumping effect, smoothes and rehydrates in just 5 minutes. Containing 2 Hyaluronic Acids and Sève Bleue des Océans to offer your skin immediate hydration and an incredible plumping result. Active ingredients are Acide Hyaluronique that contains molecules able to immediately hold water reserves and high molecular Hyaluronic Acid that acts on the surface for an instant plumping effect.

After the mask was taken off, they applied Thalgo Collagen Eye Roll On that reduces puffiness and dark circles. Concentrated in Marine Collagen, it smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and instantly awakens and brightens the eyes.

And that's a wrap!

I thorougly enjoyed the luxurious treatment, my skin has been giving me so much troubles lately (mostly due to stress, i think) and this facial totally makes my skin look and feel so much better! I feel deeply moisturized and super relaxed afterwards ^^.
