Great Lengths for Great Looks

Was gallivanting alone around some Night Market in Taipei and came across this. The hostess told me that they were doing 'lai min' supposed to be very common and clears your pores. Had an hour to kill and nowhere to go. So RM50 later, I plopped myself on a chair and waited for the 'treatment'. Worst 'facial ordeal' ever. Felt like I was being pinched at the face repeatedly! The strings they pull make a crisscross at the pores they wanna clear and scrapes off the facial hair as well. Why in the logical sense this gives you beautiful skin baffles me. Sorry, it's gonna take a lot more than vanity for me to ever EVER do this again.
