Be Careful Of Facial in salons

A young beauty  has posted a shocking photo diary of what happened when she suffered a severe reaction to a salon facial.
Singaporean make-up fanatic Juli shared her experience online in a series of blog posts, documenting how the skin on her face became enraged by the treatment and then by medication she was given by a dermatologist in effort to calm it down.
Writing four days after her 'skin-ravaging facial', Juli warned readers with a caution: 'This post contains graphic images of a face inflamed with red, angry pimples filled with pus.'

She continued: 'You might feel itchy and want to vomit after seeing these images. I totally understand if you run away from me if you saw me. Reader discretion advised.'
She then posted a photograph of what she usually looks like, followed by a day-by-day photographic account of how her skin reacted to the facial, first breaking out in a small number of spots, which rapidly grew in number and filled with pus.

She visited a clinic to have the pus extracted, which only served tomake the condition worse. The spots were soon covering her entire face and neck, and were both painful and itchy.

Writing on the site, Juli commented: 'I'd sent images of my deteriorating skin condition to the people at the facial salon and they asked me to go down and have the pus extracted again, this time to their HQ, where their Director was around.

'I'd sent images of my deteriorating skin condition to the people at the facial salon and they asked me to go down and have the pus extracted again'

'I don't know how people who have been in the industry for THIRTY YEARS couldn't tell this was not your normal acne breakout or post-facial sensitivity.'
She continued: 'The facial people told me that "It has to get worse before it gets better". BULL***T. Anyone who tells you that about your skin is really just lying to you. I have friends who are aestheticians say there's no such thing. If it gets worse, it can only get worse.
'From the first round of extraction, they kept lying to me that "tomorrow your skin will be better". It never did. At home, my skin turned worse.'
Despite their advice, Juli chose not to reveal the name of the salon, believing they did not intend to cause the reaction.

The clusters of spots around Juli's chin continued to grow and grow

The skin on her forehead began to break out in a pus-filled rash as well

Juli visited a number of doctors, and the second one gave her pills and told her the skin allergy should not cause any scarring, but would leave her  with hyper-pigmentation for at least a few months.
She said: 'He also advised that I go back to my skincare regime before the facial because the new products given by the salon might be contributing to the allergy.'

Juli said the whole experience left her traumatised and depressed

After the photographs Juli wrote: 'I'm sorry if I scared you. I have goosebumps too. You can't imagine how difficult it was to look at these photos and not cry. I cry the most when I’m washing my face.

'I was at my lowest on Day 5. A small percentage of the pustules were starting to dry out, but more were forming, and they were MERGING'

'My self-confidence has plummeted to rock bottom. I cannot remember the last time I was so depressed over an external condition.
'I guess I could thank the heavens that I’m lucky to be alive, but can my life ever go back to normal? I don't know. It's a great fall to take for a person who is image-conscious and with an online personality.'
In a second blog post a few days later, she wrote: 'I was at my lowest on Day 5. A small percentage of the pustules were starting to dry out, but more were forming, and they were MERGING. They were spreading to my neck too, and were incredibly itchy.'
Juli added that she has not only lost out financially as a result of her reaction, but that when she attended the Singapore blogging awards as a finalist she was forced to wear a mask over her face because she was so embarrassed.

'I was at my lowest on day five'

The pustules showed no sign of abating on day five

On day six, after lots of medication, the spots began to dry up

The doctor told Juli she should expect to have discolouration of the skin for several months

Juli ends her post saying: 'I realize I have instilled panic and fear in many people regarding the effects of a facial.
'Many have asked me to advise on whether this salon is safe to go, whether the one I went to is the one they are going to, what to look out for in a facial, etc.

'I have been going for facials for the past ten years and as a beauty blogger tried a myriad of products on my skin, and NOTHING like that has ever happened'

'I wrote about my personal experience to share the risks involved in getting a facial. I do not know and cannot guarantee what will happen to anybody else.
'You may or may not be allergic to the products the salon uses, the treatment may or may not be right for you, your beauticians may or may not know what to do when they see you with uncommon pus on your face, facials may or may not work for you at all.
'I cannot speak for anyone and am not qualified to say whether or not a facial or a trip to a dermatologist is right for you.
'I have been going for facials for the past ten years and as a beauty blogger tried a myriad of products on my skin, and NOTHING like that has ever happened.'

Amber Rose displays her post-baby curves in short frock for shopping trip with fiancé Wiz Khalifa

She recently revealed she had already lost 30lbs of her pregnancy weight after giving birth three months ago.

And Amber Rose is determined to show off the results of her hard work.

The 29-year-old displayed her legs and post-pregnancy curves in a short pink dress while out shopping with her fiance Wiz Khalifa in Beverly Hills on Thursday.

After baby: Amber Rose showed off her post-baby curves in a short frock as she went shopping with fiance Wiz Khalifa in Beverly Hills on Thursday

Amber proudly strutted along in the bubblegum-pink frock, which featured chiffon-like material across the front.

The model paired the little number with white sandals and accessorised with matching hot pink retro round sunglasses.

Amber's multiple tattoos were prominently visible on her arms as she walked across the parking lot with her partner.

Colour coordination: The 29-year-old model wore matching bubblegum-pink sunglasses and lipstick to go with her dress

Street style: Wiz wore baggy black shorts and a colourful T-shirt paired with a thick gold necklace and watch

Wiz, meanwhile, was casual in black baggy shorts and a colourful T-shirt paired with black trainers and a baseball cap.

He too showed off his many tattoos, which spread all along the lower part of both his legs.

He seemed in good spirits as he flashed a peace sign for photographers as the pair left a Tom Ford store.

Nice wheels! Wiz was seen climbing out of the couple's blue Porsche after they pulled in at a Tom Ford boutique

Label girl: Amber carried a stylish black Chanel handbag that sported a gold chain handle

VIP access: The couple were led through a back door of the exclusive clothing store

Amber recently revealed that she had been working out for an hour and a half these days in an effort to lose weight after reaching 202lbs at the height of her pregnancy.

‘I have a really good personal trainer,’ she told E! News. ‘Her name is Jeanette Jenkins. Yeah, I work out every day.

‘It's hard to get off baby weight. It's a different kind of weight because for nine months you stretch your stomach out and then it's hard to get that back. I'm working on it. I lost like thirty-some pounds already.’

The blonde added that she gained more pounds than people think because of her good height.

She confessed: ‘I was 202 pounds when I had my son. But I'm tall, so it didn't look like it

Man wakes from rhinoplasty operation to find top surgeon removed his ENTIRE nose

A man woke up after getting a nose job to find that the plastic surgeon had removed his nose entirely.
Patient Vishal Thakkar went to Dr Angelo Cuzalina, the president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, for more than eight surgeries over the course of a half a dozen years.
Mr Thakkar told the local Fox affiliate that after he went through a divorce in 2006, he decided to 'do something selfish' and get a nose job.

Horrific outcome: Vishal Thakkar initially went in for one surgery for his nose, and then ended up going back for various fixes, based on breathing problems and infections from the original surgery

What he's stuck with: In the final surgery in 2011, Mr Thakkar woke up and found out that the doctor removed his nose entirely because there was an infection

Though he is originally from New York, Mr Thakkar was living in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the time and went to one of the leading plastic surgeons in the area, Dr. Cuzalina. 
Dr Cuzalina could not be reached for comment and his lawyers previously denied interview requests from Fox 23 on the grounds that they would not be able to speak about Mr Thakkar's medical history given doctor-patient confidentiality agreements.
Thakkar says that after the first surgery he suffered some relatively minor breathing problems that occurred when he slept or worked out. 

He went back to Dr Cuzalina eight times within the year to treat various fixes from the previous treatments.
Before one of the surgeries, Thakkar alleges that he specifically told one of Dr Cuzalina's nurses that he did not want them to take any cartilage from his ears should they need it for his nose during the surgery.
When he woke up a few hours later, he had pain behind his ears because they had done just that. Fox 23 says the doctor later emailed an apology to Mr Thakkar.

Repeat problems: During one surgery, the doctor took cartilage from Thakkar's ear, and another from above his rib cage when he told them explicitly that he did not want that done

Before the work: Mr Thakkar said that he initially decided to have surgery after his divorce, calling it 'something selfish'

Another similar situation came about when they removed cartilage from above his ribcage because they had run out of cartilage by his ear.
The final straw, however, came when he woke up from a surgery in 2011 after he went under the knife to treat several infections.
When he woke up, he had no nose.
'He told me that there was an infection in there and since I was on the operating table and unconscious he had to make the decision,' Mr Thakkar told Fox 23.
It appears that the doctor-patient relationship was contentious before the life-altering surgery, however, as the lawsuit filed by Mr Thakkar's attorney alleges that Dr. Cuzalina covertly recorded their conversations in the medical offices.

Man with the knife: Angelo Cuzalina is the president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and has no prior complaints listed against him in Oklahoma where his practice is located

Those recordings were then used as justification for Dr. Cuzalina's August 31, 2012 letter where he said that he would no longer operate on Mr Thakkar because of his 'ongoing threats and harassment against my staff, my practice, and me personally'.
As a part of Mr Thakkar's lawsuit, he went on to say that the plastic surgeon, who is the president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and has no prior complaints filed against him in the state of Oklahoma, gave him a dangerous mix of prescription medication.
The lawsuit says Mr Thakkar was 'prescribed an excessive amount of medication, enough to kill the patient, if taken, including but not limited to Loratab, Ambien, Valilum, and Oxycodone.'
This is far from the end of his plastic surgery nightmare, however, as he is determined to fix his face.'There is no way I am going to live like this. It is worse than being dead,' he said

the little girl who spent ten years of her life growing up in the African bush

Heart-warming pictures of the real life Mowgli, a girl who spent the first ten years of her life growing up in the African bush, have been released for the first time.

The magical images chronicle the life of Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degri, who was brought up with wild animals, just like Rudyard Kipling's hero did in The Jungle Book.

The images - in the relaunched book - 'Tippi: My Book of Africa' - show the young girl making friends with an elephant, who she calls her brother, and a leopard, her best friend.

Follow me: Tippi riding on Abu's neck as he leads his herd in Okavango Swamps, Botswana

Living with her French parents, wildlife photographers Sylvie Robert and Alain Degri, the three of them travelled extensively through Africa on a unique and incredible trip. The adventure started where Tippi was born in Namibia, and ended in her travelling through countries like Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
'Her everyday life was making sure monkeys did not steal her bottle,' said Sylvie.
'Or she would call me over and point to an elephant eating from a palm tree and say 'mummy, be quiet, we're going to frighten him.'
'She had so much freedom.

Unique start: Tippi, aged one and a half drinking from her bottle among an elephant herd in Okavango Swamps, Botswana

'It was like having the biggest playground. We lived in a tent, completely in the wild, but she always woke up with the sun shining and her parents around her. She was very lucky.'
And the incredible photos - from sitting on the back of an ostrich, lying peacefully with a young caracal, or dancing playfully with an elephant - show an unusual bond and tranquility between man and beast.
'She was so at ease with animals. She would talk to them with her eyes and her heart,' said Sylvie.
Using her innocence and imagination, the young 'Mowgli' befriended one of the giants of the animal kingdom, Abu the African elephant.

'She had no fear,' said Sylvie.

Time out:  Tippi rests on the trunk of  Abu the 34-year-old  elephant in Okavango Swamps, Botswana before leading him on a trip

Brother: The images show the young girl making friends with an elephant, who she calls her brother, and a leopard, her best friend

'She did not realise she was not the same size as Abu the elephant. She would just speak to him like she would speak to me. They used to call her 'the little girl who would talk with animals.'
Tippi was able to form strong bonds with some of the most dangerous beasts in the animal kingdom because they were used to humans.
Most of the animals had been orphaned and raised by farmers.
However, despite the apparent ease and comfort with which they interact, Sylvie always put Tippi's safety first.

'You can't just meet any of these animals and act like this with them,' explains Sylvie.
'Wild animals will either run away or attack you if they are either frightened, injured or need to protect their young. 

At one with nature: Tippi aged 6 with her arms stretched out on Sea Bird Island, Africa

Change: When Tippi returned to her parents' native country - France - at the age of ten, it was hard adjusting to city life in Paris

No fear: The young child cradles a rock python snake and plays with her favourite elephant

Relaxing: Cindy the baboon in Namibia is happily stroked by the child . Cindy attacked Tippi's hair and pulled out a handful

So always had to keep a special eye on her daughter.
'I had the least fear I wouldn't have let Tippi anywhere near them. The photo with Tippi next to the young lion cub Mufasa sucking her thumb is wonderful.
'The year after this photo we came back and we went to see him and he was huge.
'Mufasa came to Tippi and he friendly brushed her with his long tail, like a cat would do, and she almost fell down. I had to take her away - I was not at ease.
'But she was only ever bitten once on the nose by a Meerkat, only two bites!
'This is funny because Tippi's middle name is Okanti, meaning mongoose or meerkat. They were part of her family in Africa, so I wanted her to have something to take home with her.'
'The second incident was when she met with Cindy the baboon at a water point. Cindy attacked Tippi's hair and pulled out a handful, out of jealousy.
'That was terribly painful! Wild animals are unpredictable. We can't be sure of their reaction as we are not of the same species, we don't know all of
their behaviour codes.
'When we last went back to Africa in 2006 we went went to see some of the animals she met in the past, including Cindy the baboon.
'We found out that Cindy is a grandma now : my friend who has raised her like the baby of the family had twins. Cindy decided that she was in charge of them and, being older, became like a grandma for the kids.

'They met each other and Cindy went to Tippi and started playing with her hair, grooming her. It was quite beautiful.'

And it wasn't only the animals who were taken with the young Tippi, as Sylvie explains.
'When we came to a village with African children, within two minutes Tippi was the clown and people found her so cute,' she says.
'Africans love other children - especially white children and she was so much fun with her hair and so different.
'When we filmed the San Bushmen of northern Namibia (one of the most ancient people of Africa who live from hunting and gathering in the Kalahari desert) we would let Tippi spend the day with the group without us until she would fall asleep among. the kids.
'She was at ease with the children and would dress and play with them - she could never find the same when she came back to Europe.'
When Tippi returned to her parents' native country - France - at the age of ten, it was hard adjusting to city life in Paris.

'She missed the animals so much,' said her mother Sylvie.
'We didn't have room for a dog in our flat, so we got a budgie instead.
'It would go everywhere with her, even on the train, flying right by her side, sitting on her head or falling asleep on her shoulder.
'She loved that little bird so much. He was the only friend she had.'
Now aged 23 and studying her third year in a degree in cinema, Tippi is facing a different jungle ... the concrete one.
But the memories of her time in Africa - recorded in a series of interviews and written up into the book - will forever live on through its pages.
'She gave her heart and thoughts away in her book,' said Sylvie.
'It is like Mowgli's story, but for Tippi it's true.
