It takes 17 muscles to smile, 43 to frown, and 60 to retract embarrassing dorsal fins. Relieve secret-keeping sacroiliacs with today's Groupon: for $79, you get a 50-minute massage, a 10-minute back-exfoliation treatment, and a 60-minute deep-hydrating facial (a $215 value) at Blue Ocean Spa in Scarborough. This deal does not include HST.

Blue Ocean Spa makes auras swoon with treatments to ease tension in more than 3,000 square feet of body bliss. Kneaders untie the knots of back stress with a massage, which incorporates elements of traditional Chinese Tui-Na massage to ease muscle tension, increase circulation, and induce relaxation ($75). Able hands run a scrub of blended Dead Sea salts, crushed thyme, and essential oils over placated trapezii to draw out toxins and impurities in a back-exfoliation treatment ($30), followed by a hot towel. Revitalize visages with a deep-hydrating facial ($110) customized for a variety of skin types to cleanse, exfoliate, and rebalance. Dry, dehydrated skin receives a regenerating and quenching boost with a Hydroptimale THI3 mask. The result is a magnificent mug that exudes elasticity and softness, like a Gumby covered in fur.

Though Blue Ocean Spa sometimes features discounted prices online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
