The world's first day spa owner invited clients to "experience the healing powers of this here tar pit," which was bad news for their clientele but invaluable for modern-day archeologists. Preserve well-being without becoming permanently preserved with today's Groupon for skincare services at Aesthetics by Irina in Long Beach. Choose between two options:

• For $20, you get a 30-minute oxygen therapy facial (a $40 value).
• For $25, you get $50 worth of sugaring and waxing services.

Aesthetics by Irina restores a downtrodden dermis with an extensive menu of skincare services. An oxygen therapy facial can undo the damage from living inside a sandstorm by supplying oxygen beneath the skin to cleanse its pores and induce rejuvenated circulation. You can also discipline stubborn furry parts with waxing and sugaring services. Sugaring, a procedure that’s been in vogue since several centuries before Vogue, uses a pasty salve of all-natural, non-allergenic sugar, lemon, and herbs to gently remove hair without burning the skin or scales.

Reviews

Yelpers give Aesthetics by Irina a four-star average. Nine SpaFinders and six Citysearchers give it an average of five stars:

• The sugar is great because it sticks to the hair - not the skin, therefore there is less iritation [sic] and swelling and redness compared to regular hot wax products. – davidkerry, Citysearch
• The facial was top notch. Irena is very professional and very good at what she does. – Canidae, SpaFinder
