The COVID-19 pandemic has been gripping the globe for more than a year, with evolving strains looking to continually test each nation’s resolve in coping with the epidemic. At the forefront of this battle are none other than our nurses in the public health sector, who face a daily battle against the virus whilst ensuring that they stay safe and protected.
With the nation slowly trying to regain a sense of normalcy during this Heightened Alert (Phase 3), nurses have been working hard to ensure that others receive the necessary medical attention despite the dangers of the pandemic. Walch® Singapore is showing our appreciation to the unwavering dedication that our nurses have exemplified over the past year and more whilst battling this pandemic – by sponsoring more than 20,000 units of Limited Edition Walch® Speed Foaming Automatic Hand Wash to nurses in our public health sector.
“The calling and passion of nurses has in many ways inspired us to face challenges in life head on, without wavering in our resolve despite the gravity of the situation. They are often overlooked within the healthcare industry, and we would like to remind them that we are extremely appreciative of what they have been doing thus far and are continuing to do,” said Ms. Alicia Liew, Head of Southeast Asia Whealthfields Lohmann. “This act of goodwill is our way of expressing our gratitude for all the hard work they have done thus far and are continuing to do in the fight against COVID-19.”
In this initiative, nurses from our public hospitals, such as Changi General Hospital (CGH), Sengkang General Hospital, Alexandra Hospital and Ng Teng Feng General Hospital have each received a Limited Edition Walch® Speed Foaming Automatic Hand Wash earlier in May, as a gesture of goodwill to commemorate their courage and effort to ensure the well-being of others. To continue showing our appreciation, Walch® Singapore has also recently handed out more Limited Edition Walch® Speed Foaming Automatic Hand Washes to nurses from Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the Institute of Mental Health.
With the uncertainty of the pandemic constantly hanging over our nurses, Walch® Singapore is happy to do our part in ensuring that they remain protected and healthy as they continue to battle the epidemic. The Limited Edition Walch® Speed Foaming Automatic Hand Wash is a new generation antibacterial hand wash that can protect users from 99.9% of unwanted germs and bacteria. It also boasts a 100% contactless system to reduce touchpoints between users, ensuring a healthier and safer environment

Do you know that emotional stress from job loss and financial strain as a result of the pandemic contributes to hair loss? According to experts, there are exactly two types of hair loss COVID-19 seems to be causing. The names to note are telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.
Telogen effluvium

The first type is termed as telogen effluvium. It is a condition where people lose more than the average amount of 50 to 100 hairs per day. Telogen effluvium usually begins several months after an individual goes through a stressful event.
Dr Shilpi Khetarpal, an associate professor of dermatology at the Cleveland Clinic, shares that with telogen effluvium, people are shedding more and growing less.
Alopecia areata

The other type of hair loss as a result of the pandemic is alopecia areata. Dr Mohammad Jafferany, a psychiatrist and dermatologist at Central Michigan University, notes that it’s a condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles. It typically starts with a patch of hair on the scalp or beard.
“It is known to be associated with or exacerbated by psychological stress,” Jafferany said. Serious cases may see hair loss all over the body including eyebrows and eyelashes.
While good nutrition, stress-reduction exercises like yoga and meditation might work, it is also important to pay extra attention to the scalp.

Gone are the days where makeup is only for women. While the mass market has tons of products for ladies, Chanel’s shaking things up with its Boy de Chanel makeup line. As rightly pointed out by the French brand, beauty knows no gender.
Did you know that Chanel’s makeup line for men first made its debut in September 2018? They started with only three products – a foundation, retractable brow pencil, and a hydrating lip balm. This July, they are adding new products to the collection. Here’s what to expect:
#1: FORTIFYING GEL MOISTURISER (144 SGD)
Image Credits: Chanel
This gel moisturiser contains a hyaluronic acid derivative combined with glycerin that prevents your skin from dehydration. Just like what a moisturiser does best, it keeps your skin moist for up to 24 hours and protects it against water loss for 8 hours.
You may use the product directly on your beard (in the direction of your hair growth) and after a shaving session to help reduce any irritations from the routine.
#2: BOY DE CHANEL CONCEALER (56 SGD)
Image Credits: Chanel
The Boy de Chanel Concealer is a life-saver for men with dark eye circles. If you need to attend an important business meeting, a good first impression is important. Conceal those dark spots or skin imperfections with the Boy de Chanel Concealer.
We love how it’s available in eight different shades so you’re bound to find one that matches your skin tone. In addition to that, the product is non-oily but at the same time, glides on smoothly during application. If you’re worried about having an extra layer on your skin, worry not about a thing. It’s so light on the skin that you won’t even be bothered by it.
#3: 3-IN-1 EYE PENCIL (53 SGD)
Image Credits: Chanel
And on days where you feel bold, confidently put on the 3-in-1 Eye Pencil. It comes in three shades – brown, navy, and black. For a day look, you can apply it on the inner corner of your eyes to define it. When the sun sets, blend it the way you want, like how you would do for eyeshadows.
#4: LE VERNIS MATTE NAIL POLISH (41 SGD)
Image Credits: Chanel
Too busy to hit the nail salon for a pampering session? The Le Vernis matte nail polish will be a good investment. More so than any other nail polish out there because according to Chanel, the nail polish dries in just 64 seconds. There are two shades available – natural and black.
The products will be available exclusively at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutiques (ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands, Raffles City, VivoCity, JEM) from 31 July.
