Studies show that modulating one's facial expression instantly builds camaraderie, whether by laughing at a joke, frowning at a sad story, or making empathetic fish lips at an unemployed merman. Prep your kisser for many roles with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a microcurrent lift and an age-defying facial at Skinplicity LaNeese in Tempe (a $140 value).
Skinplicity LaNeese's aesthetic artists work to enhance epidermal panache with a nonsurgical microcurrent lift designed to diminish skin crinkles and discoloration. During treatment, a staffer will brandish a wand that emits gentle electrical pulses into facial surfaces, which aims to bolster collagen fibers for greater firmness and a smoother texture. Skinplicity claims that results, which may include tauter skin and increased instances of being handed kids' menus at cocktail lounges, may become apparent after one treatment and last up to 10 days. The clinic recommends customers undergo five to eight microlift treatments over a five-month period to yield long-term results.
After the microcurrent lift, the age-defying facial commences by exfoliating mugs with a concoction of amino acids and enzymes. Steam then helps to purge pores and moisturize skin before a galvanic current works to minimize breakouts and increase elasticity. A regenerating mask concludes the service, feeding epidermises with aphrodisiac minerals to encourage cell courtship and reproduction. Although additional treatments are not included with this Groupon, the clinic recommends supplementing the microcurrent lift and facial with a dermaplaning treatment for an additional $15 fee. This procedure utilizes a dermal blade to remove dull skin cells, fine hair, and evidence of Stooge-level pie fights from the face.

The Groupon Guide to: Temperature Scales
To determine whether a soft drink is cool enough to put out a small mouth fire or hot enough to melt restrictive pants into billowing shorts, scientists turn to one of their many temperature scales. Here's a look at the most popular hierarchies of heating:
Fahrenheit: The only temperature scale grand enough for the wide-open land of freedom we call the U.S. of A. Using this commonsense scale, water boils at 212 degrees—212 being the exact number of minutes you can stick your hand in boiling water for before it starts to hurt.
Celsius: Named after St. Celsion, patron saint of apocryphal headache remedies, this illogical scale has water freeze at 0 degrees and boil at 100 degrees, even though 100 has twice as many zeroes in it as the number 0 does, so if anything, 100 degrees should be twice as cold as 0 degrees.
Kelvin: In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero refers to the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases. The only thing that can withstand this extreme temperature is the cold heart of a man whose will to live has been extinguished by a lifetime of regret and sadness, a.k.a. all men.
McKinley: Named after President William McKinley, who routinely governed with such musings as "I'm too hot to president today," and "I'm cold. Let's invade my fireplace with an army of grahamed crackers and marshed mallows." On this scale, 100 degrees is the temperature at which the Spanish-American War breaks out.
