Egyptologists report that Cleopatra routinely bathed in goat's milk in order to beautify her skin and conserve ammunition for decisive water-balloon battles against the Romans. Adopt a hawkish approach to skincare with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get six chemical-peel sessions at Medispa di Tuscany (a $250 value).

Medispa di Tuscany’s medically trained staff of skin sparklers revamp facial surfaces with a sextet of refreshing chemical-peel sessions. Skincare specialists assess epidermal condition and tambourine-playing ability in a consultation before applying a glycolic peel to smooth over rough and ruddy facial terrain. Derived from sugar cane, glycolic alpha-hydroxy acid easily penetrates damaged outer layers of skin to slough off dead and dull cells, uncovering a fresh, radiant surface underneath. The procedure can reduce blemishes and age spots and regenerate collagen and elastin for firmer cheeks and an improved pinching experience for clients' great-aunts.
