The face carries a lot of responsibility, as it's always the first body part asked to model for milk-carton photos and bob for keys dropped in the lobster tank. Say thanks to nautical navigators with today's Groupon: for $80, you can get a Bio-Lite facial, a microdermabrasion facial with your choice of chemical peel, or a microdermabrasion facial with a collagen mask at Advanced Skin Solutions in Burlingame (up to a $165 value).

Experienced epidermis soothers at Advanced Skin Solutions target fine lines, blemishes, and uneven pigmentation during rejuvenating facial treatments. The 75-minute Bio-Lite facial uses a combination of microcurrent technology and LED-light therapy to regenerate healthy tissue, plunging deep into protoplasmic surfaces to tighten skin, reduce pore size, and smooth fine lines to a level conducive to games of freckle hockey.

During the 75-minute microdermabrasion facial, a mug mason can supplement mechanical resurfacing with a 30- to 40-minute chemical peel, such as the Beta Complexion peel, which balances uneven pigmentation and can treat rosacea, or the no-burn peel, designed for delicate skin with broken capillaries. Spa-goers can alternatively opt to add a collagen mask to the microdermabrasion treatment. The collagen mask endeavors to infuse skin with a sprightly plumpness while moisturizing dry spots, preventing parched cheeks from pulling their host into the neighbor's koi pond.
