If, like a lot of us, you’re after youthful K-drama star skin, you’d know this — it’s the magic of regular facials. However, not all of us are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars on a facial every other week.
By now you would’ve also probably experienced or heard complaints from friends about ‘maskne’ — acne and skin issues resulting from wearing masks (especially in a hot and humid Singapore).
Here’s a list of eight beauty salons that can help keep your skin feeling fresh without breaking the bank. And everyone goes home happy with that youthful glow.

For first-time customers only, Estetica is offering deals on facials suited for every skin type. The BB dewy shine therapy is a semi-permanent make-up treatment using Nano Crystalline Therapy System to achieve instant skin brightening results.
The entire process is gentle, non-clogging, non-invasive, and requires no downtime. It’s, therefore, best for people who prefer not to step out of the salon with that post-facial redness.If you’re dealing with acne, look up Estica’s acne biotic facial.
With specialised treatment to control sebum production and treat acne-prone skin, you’ll be glowing in no time. But if you’re more inclined towards a more wallet-friendly option, the brand’s customised facial is only $68 a pop and designed to meet the needs of your skin.
