We had the pleasure of an exclusive interview with DeeniseGlitz when she came down for our Beauness Purifying Facial.
Can you tell us more about yourself?
My name is Deenise aka DeeniseGlitz. I am an eco-conscious blogger, so my passion lies in sustainable living, healthy eating and green beauty.
What is your favourite category to review on your blog on DeeniseGlitz?
My favourite category for my DeeniseGlitz blog is organic products. I believe in natural ingredients and their impact on the skin. For example, they help our skin regenerate cells and keep it healthy. Therefore, I think that organic products are the cleanest form of a product.
What triggered you to advocate for green living?
I started by eating healthily, so I learned more about veganism and the vegetarian lifestyle. From there, I realised that besides having compassion for animals, we should have compassion for the environment. This way, I think it will be more wholesome in that when you think about green living, it is all about balance, eating clean, and choosing biodegradable and eco-friendly products. Green living is something I truly believe in.
In your aspect, how important is skincare to you?
Skincare is very important to me because I often have breakouts and my pores are huge. Hence, I always make it a point to go for regular facials and use the right products. I have learnt about the products that suit my skin type and become very particular. I try to minimise the number of products used because I realise that if I pile on too many products, it defeats the purpose. Hence, I keep it minimal to stick to using toner, moisturiser, serum, mask, and sunblock, which are important aspects.
What would you recommend for organic skincare brands and what works for you?
I have two favourite brands. The more affordable one is Alba Botanica, which you can get at any drugstore in Singapore. The other brand is Botáni. Although it is a bit pricey, I like the product because it does not contain parabens or any form of preservatives. Of course, the best kind of organic beauty product is to make your own, but you have to know what suits your skin.
Do you mind sharing your usual skincare routine with us?
My usual morning skincare routine starts with cleansing, toner, moisturiser, and sunblock. During the day, I put on a thin layer of skincare product and have no makeup on to keep it simple.
Towards the evening, I cleanse my skin, and after that, I apply toner and moisturiser followed by a serum, or sometimes, an alternative would be facial oils.
Deenise Tried Our Beauness Purifying Facial and Hinoki Sento Onsen.
When you first entered Ikeda Spa, how do you feel about us?
Ikeda Spa reminded me of when I visited Onsen in Japan, which was very similar. I think I like the decoration and everything. Also, I just now realized that the therapist would do every step in detail during the facial. She was very attentive and thorough.
How was your overall facial experience?
Overall, I think it is very comfortable. Performing a facial in this kind of environment is very attractive, and the nice background music keeps you very calm and soothes you. The therapist was polite, too, asking me at every step if I was feeling comfortable. The product used has a nice natural sense to it, too.
How will you rate our facial services?
I think about 8.5.
How will you rate the overall ambience and experience of Ikeda Spa?
10, definitely.
