Contrary to popular belief, achieving smooth skin needn’t involve using a sandpaper washcloth or eskimo-kissing mannequins made out of nail files. Achieve a stress-free sheen with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a one-hour deep-cleansing facial (a $65 value) plus brow (an $8 value) and lip (a $5 value) threading at Brow's Zone, at either the NoHo or Greenwich Village location.

At Brow's Zone, skilled aestheticians perform an array of services to revivify visages and smooth skin. During the deep-cleansing facial, a epidermis expert deftly eradicates pore-infringing congestion, employing exfoliation, steam, and extractions to clarify the complexion and ease the mind. A duo of penetrating and décolleté massages melts away tension and a refining mask provides natural camouflage in case of an impromptu masquerade ball. To achieve eyebrows that can fill St. Louis' Gateway Arch with envy and an upper lip silky enough to make a boyprince weep, a follicle wizard artfully removes excess hair using a special thread. Threading is a gentler alternative to tweezing or waxing, leaving skin sleek, soft, and ready to repel hot-sauce stains.
