JAKARTA - The work area can be a reflection of how a semi-permanent makeup artist works as well as provides comfort for customers. beauty services that include semi-permanent makeup include eyebrows embroidery, lip embroidery and hairline repairs.

Chairman of the Indonesian Semipermanent Association of Procedures (PERTASPI) Anggie Rassly in a media statement received by VOI, Monday, February 20, said there were three things that had to be prepared before, during and after the semi-permanent makeup work.

First, prepare a semipermanent makeup work area. PERTASPI recommends separating semipermanent makeup equipment in three categories, namely high, medium and low categories.

High categories contain sharp tools that penetrate the skin, such as digital needles and microblading knives. Every expert must pay close attention to the level of safety and hygiene by ensuring that the needle or knife is used only once, and carry out routine sterilization on the handle or handle.

Semipermanent makeup equipment that is in the moderate category is a tool that comes into contact with the skin indirectly and does not stab or penetrate the skin, including pens, gloves, aluminum displays, pigment containers and plastic covering tools and cables. PERTASPI recommends makeup artists use plastic wrap and barriers on each of those tools' surfaces.

The low category is a tool that touches the skin directly, but, does not puncture or penetrate the skin such as an eyebrow or lip pencil, scissors, tweezers, eyebrow ruler, tables and benches. Moderate category tools should be placed separate from high categories and only taken when needed.

Second, PERTASPI assesses the importance of packaging tools and sanitation. A semi-permanent makeup artist must differentiate between pre-work and panning at work so that she can find out which tools to clean and wrap.

According to the organization, planning well before starting work can help save time and efficiency in the use of tools, especially in the use of medium and low category tools. As for the sanitation process, every expert should have a fairly large supply of cleaning products and a functioning machine or sterilization tool.

Third, semi-permanent makeup artists must clean and tidy up the equipment after work. PERTASPI advises makeup artists to use two types of disinfectants, namely disinfectants specifically for hard surfaces, such as metals, ceramics and wood, for sterilization of the area used for a long time, namely work areas, chairs and sinks.

Meanwhile, for rapid sterilization of the area, makeup artists can use general disinfectants such as alcohol swabs.

Sterilization must also be in accordance with the category of tools. In moderate and low category tools, sterilization can be done by spraying it or wiping it with disinfectants for hard surfaces. Meanwhile, for high category equipment, immediately throw it in a special trash can for sharp objects because it is only disposable and at risk of contamination.

The cleaning order of the equipment should start from the least contaminated surface to the most contaminated surface. To avoid afternoon contamination, always use gloves when cleaning the tool and when necessary, replace it with new gloves.
