[UPDATED, March 13]

FREE FACIAL MASKS FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS

In these busy times for healthcare workers, they deserve some pampering too.

In a show of support for Singapore's "unsung heroes", SkinLab The Medical Spa is offering healthcare workers two pieces of its Stem Cell facial mask each. 

Said a statement from the beauty chain: "While it is important that we cheer our heroes on during these tough times, it is also vital that they make time to take care of themselves. This is why with the complimentary Stem Cell mask, we hope that these medical staff can rest and rejuvenate their overworked skin to continue the fight for the long run."

The free masks can be redeemed in the month of March at all seven SkinLab The Medical Spa outlets with a valid medical staff ID pass. Appointments are not necessary but stocks are subject to availability.

Those who are eligible to claim the free masks are encouraged to call the outlets beforehand to check on stock availability.
