How we got mud on our faces

Contrary to what the title is suggesting, we didn’t get caught in any nasty situation. In fact, it was quite a pleasant experience, as we only got down and dirty in the name of beauty.

Below is the Fango mud treatment that Creative Director Alvin Chia was subjected to in order to write a review for a magazine, in his very early days as a freelance writer.

Beauty treatment review published in CREAM magazine, Singapore in 2000.

P.S. The abbreviation “NS” in the first paragraph refers to National Service, the compulsory military enlistment that all 18 year old Singaporean males are subjected to for a period of at least 2 years.
