Been At Home For Quite A While? It's Important Now More Than Ever To Take Care Of Your Skin

"Take good care of your skin as it is going to represent you for a very long time." Lockdown has been an uphill climb for mothers. Quarantining ourselves at home with the children with fear of the spread of COVID-19 has depleted most of our energy. If we are working from home, the task may prove almost impossible. No one taught us how to handle cries for mommy and calls from the boss simultaneously! Ladies, it is OK to yearn for a sweet escape, even if it is away from your child(ren). Investing in me-time is crucial, especially when you feel like you are pouring from an empty cup. But how? How about a relaxing and rejuvenating facial that will encourage great skin health? Photo Credit: Freepik Now that we are on a recovery stage of the Movement Control Order (MCO), skincare salons are allowed to operate under strict standard operating procedures (SOP). Companies and stores in every state in Malaysia are lifting their shutters – hoping that businesses will go back to normal. Unfortunately, the normal we expect will not happen anytime soon. Eh? So, what about the suggestion for a ‘relaxing and rejuvenating facial’? We still recommend you to go for it, but be sure your skincare salon and their beauticians practice the needed safety measures to keep you safe from contracting any virus. SOPs of Skincare Salons Ensuring the safety of everyone is not just the responsibility of the business outlets, it is also the duty of each person to patronise salons that adhere to the SOPs put out by the government. As a professional skincare salon, AsterSpring has upped their safety measures to help put an end to potential virus transmission and bring peace of mind to its customers. They have looked into ways to adhere to the strict SOPs issued by the Malaysian government and are conducting New Safety Preventative Protocol.

Here is what you can expect when you arrive for your much-needed facial: Screening and safety checks: Before entering the premise, everyone will have to fill up an AsterSpring Health Declaration or scan the QR code to fill in needed particulars. If you have symptoms of a cough, cold or fever, your appointment will have to be rescheduled. Pre-screening is also compulsory for all AsterSpring staff members. Social distancing: Only two customers are allowed entry at any one time, and everyone is required to wear a face mask. Personalisation: Your skin therapist will be in full Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when attending to you during facial. All treatment beds will be laid with disposable non-woven sheets with bed towels changed and washed after each treatment. All pieces of equipment used during your facial session are disposable to reduce the risk of contamination Infection control and sterilisation: Each centre is sanitised daily with the Steriliser Spray Machine. The non-disposable tools and machines are also frequently sterilised. Dermalogica Clean Touch Certified: Skin therapists at AsterSpring are trained to uphold the professional-grade standards of safety and sanitation.

The AsterSpring Experience During the ‘New Normal’ Photo Credit: AsterSpring After months being cooped up at home, Intan Ezreena, the gorgeous TV3 journalist, news presenter, influencer, and mother of 1 was ready to head out for some me-time. She admitted that it was quite a nerve-wracking adventure as she was excited to be pampered but nervous about the possible encounter with the invisible enemy. However, when she arrived, she felt rather safe because of the necessary precautions and steps taken by AsterSpring to ensure she was stepping into a clean and safe zone. She tried AsterSpring’s New Intense Facelift Therapy with HIFU. Join her on her retreat! https://youtu.be/zH7gm1XjAsQ About AsterSpring AsterSpring has been a premier brand name and the leading chain of professional skincare salons and kiosks in ASEAN and Hong Kong since 1984.

AsterSpring’s New Intense Facelift Therapy with HIFU Always innovating, expanding, and improving, it comes to no surprise when AsterSpring introduced their state-of-the-art New Intense Facelift Therapy with HIFU. It is a new treatment using advanced technology that tackles fine lines; allowing you to age gracefully. It also looks to clearly define the jawline, neckline, and face structure; making them look more youthful, reversing signs of ageing. So, What is HIFU? Photo Credit: AsterSpring HIFU is short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It treats specific skin tissues; resulting in firmer and tighter skin. It is a non-invasive, focused ultrasound treatment that targets deep layers of the skin – naturally stimulating the production of more collagen. If you did not know, collagen is a protein that gives your skin structure. As we age, our collagen supply slowly depletes but, with the help of HIFU, the collagen factories are open to manufacturing more collagen for our skin; making it plump, hydrated, and youthful! If you have heard of HIFU before, you might flinch at the sound of it as this treatment can be quite painful. But hold up, we have got news for you! Unlike previous versions of painful HIFU treatments, AsterSpring is using the latest version of HIFU technology developed in Korea and further curated by the company to deliver amazing results that are highly effective with minimal discomfort. Coupled with AsterSpring’s expertise, the New Intense Facelift Therapy with HIFU is customisable to your skin type; there is no one-treatment-fits-all for them. The result you get is intense lifting and firming and defined facial contour – all using the latest HIFU technology that is fast, effective, and safe with zero downtime.
