[Beauty x Event] Panasonic Beauty Workshop with Bryan Gan
What is important when you blog?
"Truth and Accurate"
This is what beauty guru Byran Gan shared with us during the beauty workshop I had the opportunity to attend recently.
Bryan Gan is a top health & beauty guru, natural therapist, and is a regular on 3 seasons of the popular variety talk show "Lady's First" (女人我最大).
During the workshop Bryan taught us a lot on TCM and also beauty tips for younger skin and I'll share with you a few and introduce you the awesome Panasonic products!
Health & Beauty Advice from Bryan
4-7-8 breathing exercise - Breathing exercise is important because it helps activate the skin cells which begins to fall asleep from when you're 19!!! By practicing the breathing exercise, it will help wake the skin cells up.
It's quite simple! All you do is...
First to exhale from your mouth and don't forget to make the 'shhhhhhh' sound
breath through your nose for 4 counts
hold your breath for 7 counts
and exhale through your mouth for 8 counts
Repeat this 3-4 times in the morning & night and it helps detox the negative Qi from the body. You might feel out of breath after 8 counts but it's important to expand your lung capacity and to take care of your lungs because it governs your hair and skin!
White Fungus - promotes youthful skin, strengthens the respiratory system (lungs) and stops coughing,
Corn Silk - Great to detox the eye and body.

Corn Silk can be used to make tea! All you just have to do is boil the corn silk for 10 minutes, let it cool and drink it up! You'll probably feel the effect in 2 hours and it's recommended to drink it once or twice a week.
Ju Hua Chrysanthemum - great to disperse wind, clears heat, headache, and fever. Boil 6 flowers and sip it! It's supposedly very cooling!
At the start of the workshop Bryan kept saying how he wants us to use Meipai for filter but honestly...HIS SKIN IS WAAAY BETTER THAN MINE!!
Left is without Meipai and right is with Meipai. You can def see a difference on my face but look at Bryan!!! Still in disbelief that he's in his 40's!!!
Near the end of the workshop he asked who in the workshop has a sore throat, and since I just recovered from a flu... I raised my hand up. Then he called me to the front and gave me a spoonful of this Chinese herbal medicine. I was going to take the spoon but he was nice to spoon feed me and it was my first time doing はい、あーん in front of a crowd. (｡>﹏<｡)恥ずかしい～！
He gave me the spoon and told me to throw it away LOL!!!

The Products
So now let me introduce you the awesome Panasonic products we got to play around with!
With this entire range of Panasonic products, achieving flawless, youthful skin will become a reality!
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Panasonic Eye Warming Massager EH-SW50
(RRP S$249)
This massager helps improve the blood circulation around the eye area by emitting a warm steam that moisturizes the eye area. There's a low/high temperature & vibration option too!
Although there's a strap that allows you to sit up and enjoy the massage, Bryan recommended to lie down so that the blood can return to the liver (which also governs the eyes).
The massager is compact and rechargeable with a rotary power cord so you can bring it along when you travel or stay-con!
He also mentioned to splash some cold water to your face to assist the blood circulation.
Cool Putter EH-SQ10 Special Price S$109
(usual RRP S$129)
(usual RRP S$129)
The Cool Putter is able to reach to about 15°C INSTANTLY to cool & tighten your skin. You can use this together with the Compact Facial Steamer to do hot/cold treatment to cleanse and tighten your pores. Steam for 3 minutes, cool for 2 minutes, steam for 3 minutes, and cool for 1 minute!
Bryan also mentioned that IF you get botox or fillers, using this to massage your skin will help with the recovery process.

Facial Roller EH-SP32 Special Price S$159
(usual RRP S$189)
(usual RRP S$189)
Massaging is important because it helps activate the skin cells!
This massager with a heating element comes with two detachable heads and can be used for both the face and body. You might think that there's no point of doing a massage because the effects will last only for a day or so, but if you massage your face the collagen that becomes activated will remember and begin to produce it without the massager!
Before/after the massage, apply rose or lavender water to prep your skin. It's not recommended to use moisturizer before using the massager, you can apply TINY BIT of cream if you have REALLY thin skin. After using the massager, just wipe it clean with baby wipes! DO NOT USE ALCOHOL TO CLEAN IT!!
The flat roller - face, lymphatic system, and forehead
The round roller - jaw, neck, legs, and arms (or as Bryan said 'butterfly arms').
The flat roller can be used for the the face and the sensitive eye area for anti-aging/lifting effect.
Just use the massager in an upward motion from the jaw area, cheeks, and forehead for 10-15 times. Follow up by an outward motion for the under eye area for 5 times.
Besides the face, you can use this flat roller to tone your stomach! Roll it in an upward motion for 30-50 times and it'll help reduce the water retention and bloatedness in your tummy!
The round roller has a unique diamond cut that grabs and gently kneads your skin to activate the collagen. It's very easy to use - roll the massager in an upward motion from the chin to the area below your ear for 3 - 5 times. The jaw area, especially the muscle that protrudes out when you put your teeth together, needs to be massaged to release the tension and for anti-aging.
Besides your face, you can use the roller to massage your neck, legs, and shoulder to release the tension. For the legs make sure to go ONLY in an upward motion. For your arms it can be up and downwards.
Bryan was showing us a few accupressure points. Directly below the middle of the ring and pinky finger is supposedly called the 'point of sleep' which helps anyone suffering from insomnia! Just press the point for 1-3 minutes and POOF! Off to dream land. ( ∩ˇωˇ∩)
Below the thumb is the lung area. Press it for 1 minute to help clear up your lung area.

Compact Facial Steamer EH-SA31 Special Price S$174
(including delivery & GST - usual RRP S$199)
Bryan has been an advocate of facial steaming since 2005! Steaming is a great way to open and thoroughly cleanse your pores. In his blog he explains that you will need to place your face 20cm above boiling water for 5-6 minutes for once or twice a week.
In ancient times, essential oils were added into the water but the machines in the market do not recommend adding essential oils in the machine. So Bryan came up with an idea of adding 1-2 drops of essential oils onto a cotton bad and taping it on the top part of the steamer!
When Bryan shared that he's certified in aromatherapy, I was like 'OOOH!! ME TOOOO!!’
(but I got mine in Japan and it has to be renewed every year T_T)
If you're wondering which essential oil to use, here's a few suggestions!
Frankincense is great for boosting the immune system
Rose is great for anti-aging
Lavender & Grapefruit is great for whitening
Selfie with Bryan! The natural filter from the steamer = best!
Photoshoot time with Bryan!
(I was sitting right behind him so I took a photo of what it looks like from his view LOL)
