Though inner beauty is important, the fact remains that outer beauty is still often used to determine SAT scores and income-tax rates. Get a leg up on life with today's Groupon: for $39, you get a massage-and-facial package at Massage Essence.

The package includes:

• A one-hour Swedish, prenatal, reflexology, sports, or trigger-point massage (a $58 value).
• One rose-petal, stonecrop-and-honey, carrot-and-vanilla, or rosehip-and-peppermint facial (a $58 value).

The experienced staff at Massage Essence enhance each massage and skin-renewing facial with organic Hungarian products. Customers can select from a variety of massage modalities, including Swedish massage—an amalgamation of gentle effleurage designed to warm up muscles before deeper, flowing strokes eradicate muscle tension, boost blood flow, and transform stressed-out sinew into the most chillaxed of silly putty. Sports massage helps bring relief to old athletic injuries for better performance and enhanced flexibility, and massage therapists can also knead away toxins and stress in a prenatal massage, designed to target areas smarting from increased pressure and baby’s first tap dance.

Facials utilize organic Hungarian products with ingredients that include ultraconcentrated pulps, delivering each botanical’s natural-healing properties in a bear hug of concentrated gel. The aromatic-rose-petal facial hydrates and polishes skin to foster more glowing complexions, and the vanilla-and-carrot gel nourishes sensitive skin reeling from cold weather, sun damage, or a recent apple-bobbing accident.
