IA SALON once again treated its customers with free monthly workshops where they organised a free Skin Care Workshop yesterday attended by a total of 18 participants, held at IA Salon’s VIP room at The Mall, Gadong.
Woon, a beautician from Aesthetic Beauty Spa was invited by IA Salon to conduct the skin scanning and consultation for the participants, in which they organised their professional-use scanning machine and introduced their best-selling Gua Sha treatment, a traditional Chinese therapy which works in principle with acupressure and finger massage by employing the power of touch with a guasa board.
Gua Sha practitioners believed that this practice can reverse ageing, enrich skin with fineness, increase elasticity, improves skin tone and works well on firming and uplifting the skin from aging.
Moreover, Aesthetic specialists also stressed out that this therapy results in softer and youthful glow of skin, lightens pigmentation and freckles, tightens open pores, prevents wrinkles and helps best on restoring or reconstructing skin.
Gua Sha therapy with appropriate skills and practice also pose internal body benefits such as aiding for detoxification, improving blood circulation, and thus relaxes muscles.
Also on hand was Cecilia Lee of IA Salon, who highlighted the basic skin care from washing the face, understanding skin care products, homecare massage for better skin and face features, and the common misconceptions towards skin care.

The objective of the workshop is to help the participants understand proper and safe skin care guidelines; skin conditions and problems; healthy homecare practices, as well as skin care product awareness and its application techniques.
Cecilia began with differentiating cleanser types which are normally used for face, and according to Cecilia, the market offers thousands of cleansing brands but differ from its texture, functions, cleansing powers, and suitability to skin type and conditions, with the likes of cleansing water, cleansing milk, oil and cream are the common types of products available to purchase.
Also stressed on during the workshop was the common misconceptions towards skin care practices such as washing the face, applying moisturisers, using facial masks and how to choose skin products that best suit your needs and skin conditions, sharing basic home massage to improve sagging cheeks, nose dirt areas, eye puffiness and under eye circles by just using a stainless steel tablespoon.
A few other beauty tips from Cecilia were to improve eye puffiness through placing used green tea bags on both eyes closed for 15 minutes and then rinsing, and should be done regularly for better results; to cure and prevent pimples and acne through adding a small amount of sea salt in a water basin when washing the face; adding a small amount of green tea in water when washing the face to achieve smoother and shiny skin; and using green tea water to help tighten skin pores and whiten skin.
IA Salon’s next free workshop will be themed ‘Scalp and Hair Care Workshop’ on September 2, where registration is open for public with free admission.
