Young friends who launched their skincare company in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis have seen sales equalling $100,000 in a week – and have put it down to the clever use of a hashtag.

Yamco Skin founders Tony Yammine, 22, and Daniel Saad, 28, raked in the incredible sum after labelling their beloved clay mask and hydrating moisturiser #NoFilter, and using it as a hashtag on Instagram.

It’s a commonly used phrase 267million reposts on the social media app alone, meaning the men would find themselves garnering followers – and customers – who were also searching through that tag. 

‘Our idea was to launch a brand that represented inner beauty and being comfortable within your own skin,’ Mr Yammine, who is from Cronulla, south of Sydney, told FEMAIL.

‘The idea and promise is that by using Yamco, there is no need for social media edits or filters.’

After a year of research, liaising with dermatologists and learning about the skincare industry, Yamco Skin offered its first products within the #NoFilter range – a Detoxifying Clay Mask ($59.99) and Hydrating Moisturiser ($49.99).

The mask contains kaolin clay to remove impurities, matcha green tea extract to stimulate microcirculation and allantoin for the healing of acne scars.

While the moisturiser contains anti-inflammatory shea butter, jojoba oils for promoting softness of the skin and cacao for relieving dryness. 

‘We have combined creative marketing using the #NoFilter hashtag with a product that truly works and delivers on its promise,’ he continued.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
