As far as my research on organic facials has yields, the number of beauty centres offering such treatments are relatively low in the city. My Beauty Cottage is one of the few renowned salons in KL that uses organic products in its treatment. Down with limited choices, I decided to give it a try at its pioneer outlet in SohoKL, Solaris Mont’ Kiara.
Eminence, an organic skin care made in Hungary has a wide range of fruit-based products targeting at different skin conditions of both males and females. In fact, it’s well known and popular among celebrities such as Paula Abdul, Megan Fox, Maggie Q, Katherine Heigl, Peter Facinelli, Lance Armstrong and more.
When I stepped into the store, I was greeted by the strong fruity smell in the air. As its name suggests, the interior of the store assimilates a classic European cottage home with an evident flower theme that reflects not only on the expensive furniture but also some accessories in the W.C. and treatment room.
The reception area.
The reception/waiting area was lavishly decorated with expensive furniture, floor timber, modern lighting and cute teddy bears which I was inwardly urged to purchase *hehe*.
The beautician was extremely polite as she extended her greetings in her best professional manner. For a start, I was introduced the Citrus-C Refreshing Treatment that claims to restore hydration level, tone, balance, heals and prevent blemishes, tighten and firm skin. After changing into a rose-printed robe before the treatment, I was given a warm footbath for relaxation. It did me good since I was pretty worried of the beautician’s skills especially the extraction part!
As per standard procedure, the treatment started off with cleansing, exfoliating, extraction, eyebrow trimming, massaging and mask.
While I love the fruity smell of the products, I find the exfoliator too rough for my skin and the extraction was damn painful! Perhaps it is just me who couldn’t bear that kind of sharp painful feeling of being squeezed and pricked. Other than that, everything else was excellent. I also like their facial massage as the technique is milder and more gentle. 🙂
At My Beauty Cottage, beauticians don’t use steamer before extraction. It’s not a bad idea though because othwerwise the heat of the steamer might stimulate highly sensitive skin like mine.
The treatment took about 2 hours. I came out from the room with an ugly face full of “post-torture” marks and spots. Back to the reception area, the marketing talk began. I listened to the beautician while enjoying a cup of warm tea and chewing grapes (at other saloons, clients are given only sweets. Price difference hmmm..) as she explained about my skin condition before subtly introducing the packages they have.
Their facial service ranges from RM288 to RM388 per session. Definitely higher than other centres in the current market but if you’re looking for highly pampering treatment and services especially organic products, it’s one that’s worth signing up for. While the products have been receiving numerous compliments and recommendations, no one product is perfect for all. So, do go for its trial before investing in this high end beauty service.
Anyway, living on moderation, I guess I won’t spend RM2,000 for a total of less than 10 treatments. As the saying goes, Beauty always promises, but never gives anything. ~Simone Weil

It’s rather expensive for a facial treatment~ Probably it’s organic facial… I thought they would have pricing promo for 1st timer? ^^
yeah, they do but still pricey. there are cheaper organic facials. This is expensive probably because of its exclusive range.
