Though best known for expanding the limits of human thought, the great philosophers were also ardent proponents of skin treatments—rarely furrowing their brows without first applying a de-furrowing cucumber mask. Today’s Groupon will wipe out your own philosophical furrows: for $59, you get either an exfoliating body scrub or a slimming body wrap from Suzie's Skin and Beauty Centre (up to a $159 value). Either package will unfold in Suzie's immaculate, tastefully minimalist spa in Willow Glen.
For those going the body-scrub route (a $159 value), there are four available options from which to choose: the gentle aloe and chamomile-citrus sugar scrub, the refreshing lavender scrub, the deeply exfoliating white-chocolate scrub, or the shea-butter-infused chocolate salt scrub. Whichever scrub you pick, it will be followed by a hydrating body mask and a chance to live out the fantasy of becoming a piece of broccoli in the spa's hydrotherapy steam chamber. The pampering concludes with a mini facial.
Should you choose to do some freestyle wrapping, prepare to lay back and enjoy the enrapturing of warm cloth bands soaked in a natural blend of essential oils that enhance circulation, metabolism, and the body's innate ability to detoxify (a $135 value). This Oleaslim wrap contains all natural ingredients that work together to relieve stress and send fat the way of the dinosaur—back to outer space. Best of all, the pine and lavender extracts mercilessly attack subcutaneous cellulite, diminishing its appearance and size.
Reviews
Citysearchers give Suzie's Skin and Beauty Centre five stars, and four Yelpers give it 4.5:
- i have been going to suzie for many years. i have found no one to be as caring and concerned about her customers. – jomara, Citysearch
- With their warm, welcoming and clean environment, Suzie's Skin Center might as well be called a "clinic". I've witnessed Suzie personally clean all her counters and equipment with alcohol between clients so I know I can trust the high-level quality care I get - hands down. – DianeCustomer, Citysearch
- [Suzie's] beauty salon offers an elegant and upscale ambience, and her staff is gracious and talented. – rlinquist, Citysearch
Groupon Says
Wrap It Up!
Having your movement constricted by a beauty wrap can actually be quite liberating. By relinquishing the usage of your limbs, you also absolve yourself of all responsibilities in our shrieking modern world. Wrapped things are infamously unhelpful to those around them. Does a Christmas present help you to open it? Does a burrito dip itself in chipotle-infused peanut butter? If you answered "yes" to any of these rhetorical queries, phone the Remarkable Police and tell them to arrest you for being an accessory to something extraordinary.
It's not laziness—most tightly wrapped objects are simply unable to fend for themselves, just like on your high-school marching-band camping trip when the snooty oboe clique stapled over the mouth of your sleeping bag and rolled you into the creek. Take back self-constriction from the Janine Oboes of the world and find the right wrap for your daily life, be it industrial plastic sheeting, pounded turkey breast, or the many cardboard mailing tubes resultant from your addiction to the online purchasing of didgeridoos.
