A face can both hide and reveal a person’s age, just as a hand can both hide and reveal a child’s nose after an uncle has mysteriously removed it. Let radiant skin dazzle onlookers with today’s Groupon at Laya’s Skin Care, located in Lacru Salon in Flowood. Choose between the following options:

• For $42, you get a deluxe facial (an $85 value).
• For $58, you get a 24-karat gold collagen mask with signature facial ($140 value).
  
  

Licensed aesthetician Laya Parisi gilds patrons’ guises with a suite of beautifying facials that has earned Laya’s Skin Care the title of Third Best Day Spa in the 2011 Jackson Free Press Best of Jackson awards. Before each treatment, Laya meets with the client for an in-depth discussion of skincare concerns and competitive cribbage stats. To begin the deluxe facial, Laya uses a gentle hydropeptide cleansing to lift away dead skin cells, which also allows younger and brighter skin to absorb nutrients and steady streams of compliments. A fruit mask aids the skin in its natural healing process, continuing to moisturize faces after Laya gently removes it to reveal newly supple skin.

Alternatively, each 24-karat gold treatment works to imbue visages with a healthy shimmer more easily than donning a Egyptian pharaoh’s golden hockey mask. After a brief massage to loosen up the epidermis, Laya applies a warm towel to her client’s face to open pores, and then applies a formulated gold serum that aims to nourish younger cells. Finally, her skillful hands massage gleaming sheets of 24-karat gold into skin and leave them there for 30 minutes, or whenever the client starts to resemble tinsel from a holiday wreath. By working to regenerate cells and stimulate collagen production, the refreshing treatment can help skin to look smoother and tighter. Opt to combine today’s Groupon options to redouble each treatment’s skin-smoothing effects or purchase either treatment as a holiday gift for a friend, loved one, or wannabe dolphin.
