The air in Malaysia is electric with the coming of Chinese New Year. It’s a season of profound meaning—a time for family reunions, forgiving old grievances, and welcoming new beginnings with hope and abundance. This spirit of renewal extends to our homes, our hearts, and, for many, our personal appearance. Presenting your best self, symbolized by vibrant, healthy, and luminous skin, is a cherished part of the celebration. It reflects inner well-being and outward joy. This year, transcend basic skincare. Embark on a transformative Facial PJ (Pre-CNY Journey) that combines professional expertise with a scientifically backed home regimen. We guide you through this process using the clinic-trusted, results-oriented formulations of Dermique.

Part 1: The Strategic Reset – The Why and What of Your Pre-CNY Facial

The weeks before CNY are often a beautiful chaos, but this hectic pace—characterized by year-end deadlines, rich reunion dinner preparations, and altered sleep patterns—can be your skin’s nemesis. Common concerns include dehydration from air-conditioned spaces, dullness from stress, and breakouts from festive dietary indulgences. An at-home routine, while essential, often isn’t enough to counteract these compounded effects.

This is where a professional facial, ideally scheduled 10-14 days before New Year’s Eve, becomes non-negotiable. It is a strategic investment that acts as a deep systemic reset for your skin. Performed by a trained aesthetician, it provides a level of cleansing, analysis, and targeted treatment that is impossible to replicate yourself. The goal is to address underlying issues—like deep-seated congestion, uneven texture, or dehydration—thereby creating a perfectly prepped “canvas.” This allows the high-performance Dermique products you use at home to penetrate more effectively and work in synergy with your treatment, maximizing your results for the big day.

Choosing Your Professional Treatment:

• For Dull, Tired-Looking Skin: Opt for a HydraFacial or Oxygen Infusion Facial. These treatments deeply hydrate and flood the skin with antioxidants, delivering an instant “lit-from-within” glow without downtime. It’s the perfect primer for Dermique’s brightening serums.
• For Congestion and Blemishes: A Deep Cleansing or Purifying Facial with meticulous extraction is key. It clears blockages, reduces active inflammation, and helps prevent the dreaded festive breakout, setting the stage for a clear complexion.
• For Sensitivity and Redness: Choose a Soothing, Barrier-Repair Facial with calming ingredients like chamomile or ceramides. This strengthens your skin’s defense system, ensuring it can handle the excitement ahead.

Part 2: The Homecoming Ritual – Your Daily Dermique Regimen for Lasting Radiance

Post-facial, the real work begins at home with consistency. Here is your dedicated daily ritual using Dermique to maintain, enhance, and protect your professional treatment results.
