East Norriton, PA Spa and Massage

Flickering candles don't necessarily mean the power is out. At Total Serenity Day Spa, they signify relaxation, respite, and holistic healing. The menu of services includes six different types of massage, ten facials, and waxing services, as well as a variety of couples offerings—each of which can be augmented with aromatic chocolate oils to make for a romantic experience. The spa is open until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, making it a great spot for an after work facial or a massage to prepare yourself for a busy weekend of hiding from Mondays in the closet.

Lux Spa and Fitness relaxes and rejuvenates corpuses within its clean, 6,500-square-foot confines, where employees perform a survey of services that harness the botanical power of high-end Aveda products to cleanse, hydrate, and imbue skin with youthful oomph. Quench pre-pampering thirsts with lemon-lime water in the waiting room before undergoing a two-pronged facial package. The custom facial incorporates a treatment mask and massage, as well as aromatherapy and a combination of products tailored for each client's individual skin type and tendency to trip face-first into vats of butter. Next, one of the spa's staffers will conduct an eye-zone treatment employing flower-based formulas and gentle massage to cool and replenish the thin skin that surrounds peepers. Together, both services last a scant 50 minutes, freeing up the rest of the day to coyly wink at yourself in the mirror.

The owners of Spa Bavu take their business' name from a Swahili word meaning "inner strength and power". This idea permeates the atmosphere of their small, private spa, where African décor mingles with internationally inspired treatments. Therapists combat aches with six massage modalities, using the long, gliding strokes of the Swedish technique or the heated basalt rocks that ply muscles during hot-stone massages. To exfoliate skin and melt tension, they perform body treatments— aromatic steam baths, Israeli mineral mud and warm French seaweed wraps, and chocolate-infused scrubs. They also help clients ease off stuck Halloween masks with six facials using lavender and green tea blends and oil-balancing formulas.

Ellen Ehrlich's 30-minute Clinical Facial incorporates cleansing and a milia removal, leaving skin with that warm, just-lit glow ($70). The Clinical Facial Deluxe ($90) offers the same features of the Clinical Facial, but adds a specialized mask treatment into the mix. A wheatgrass and sage purifying mask sooths blemished skin and renews the balance of oils, calming a stormy face-sea. Sufferers of parched pores can indulge in the Norwegian blueberry and honey mask to restore moisture and Valhallan luminescence. To combat the effects of aging brought on by J.J. Abrams plots, consult one of the medical aestheticians to determine which peel is right for your skin. Available in 30% ($70) or 70% ($80) varieties, the glycolic-acid peel reduces the appearance of fine lines, evens out skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and makes your face shine like Ken Jennings at trivia night. Other areas of treatment include neck, arms, décolleté, back, and legs.

After emerging from the wrap's detoxifying magic with a pair of paper-thin, beautifully-colored wings, masterful manual manipulators will relieve exhausted extremities with a lavish hand and foot massage before dousing them in a warm paraffin dip. A complimentary cuppa from the adjoining tea room will likewise warm insides.

Oversized black pedicure chairs stand in a row as guests kick back and a technician tops their toes in vibrant polish colors. Customers can also opt for hot-stone massages, which help melt away tension in muscles after playing catch with a stockless anchor, and a pumpkin exfoliating facial that helps refresh skin.
