Spas, like judges' chambers, are filled with dignified-looking robes and are often visited by people wrought with tension from grand-piano heists gone wrong. Let theft regret melt away with today’s Groupon: for $47, you get a classic facial and a hand massage at Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Aurora (a $94.95 value).

Hand & Stone satiates attention-hungry minds and bodies with a potpourri of therapeutic services, including skin-stimulating facials and relaxing massages. When not french braiding eyelashes while blindfolded, licensed aestheticians utilize their dexterous digits to lavish clients' visages with treatments such as a classic facial (an $84.95 value). The dermal skinscaping summons the vigour of natural ingredients to purge complexions of deep-seated debris with a thorough pore cleansing and to evict lingering surface dirt with gentle exfoliation and extraction treatments. Basking in the glow of a dewy canvas, refurbished guests then surrender their shoulders to a soothing massage before a custom mask and moisturizer seal the hydrating regimen.

Hand & Stone's skin therapists also pamper ivory ticklers with tantalizing hand massages and inaugurate the 10-minute kneading treatment by swaddling fingers in hot towels. The application of a sugar-scrub exfoliant and deep spa moisturizer follows (a $10 value), leaving hands soft enough to raise a healthy brood of balloon animals.
