Every time dead skin cells are removed from your body, a new layer of skin is revealed, until finally, all that remains is a Russian matryoshka doll painted to resemble your spirit animal. Reveal the radiance that lies beneath with today's Groupon: for $79, you get a SilkPeel Dermalinfusion treatment and makeup application (a $224 value) at Outshine Salon & Spa, located on Esquimalt Road.

This salon and spa lavishes its clients with a full-service beauty menu, polishing every pore as it dotes on customers from head to toe. With a newly renovated aesthetics sanctuary, Outshine's spa specialists are primed to pamper epidermises with noninvasive treatments such as the SilkPeel Dermalinfusion, a 45–60 minute exfoliation procedure that smoothes skin and reduces rosacea. Using handheld treatment heads, the staff manipulates the pressure and depth in order to accommodate different skin types, conditions, and psyches. In conjunction with a topical skin-lightening agent called Lumixyl, this cellular-rejuvenation system can restore elasticity, facilitate lympathic drainage, and infuse visage vestments with hydrating nutrients, all without the side effects of alternative exfoliation procedures, such as lingering ghosts of exterminated skin cells.

After a revitalizing mug buffing, customers are free to cosset their canvases with a professional Colorescience makeup application from one of Outshine's cosmetic mavens. This pure-mineral face-paint line enlists high-quality ingredients and an assertive attitude to polish visages with colour-rich products such as sunforgettable mineral blush. Dermatologists recommend this medical aesthetic brand as it enriches its pigment primers with high levels of SPF in order to shield skin from the sun's envious glare.

Though SilkPeel patrons tout a postpamper glow after their first visit, Outshine recommends a series of three to six sessions for more substantial results. Groupon customers yearning for reoccurring coddling or looking to expand their memorabilia collection can upgrade their salon certificates: purchase two more treatments and get an additional 10 per cent off. Primping patrons also receive 20 per cent off purchases during their visit.
