A neglected face will rebel by scowling during your wedding vows or sprouting a five o'clock shadow at precisely four. Soothe volatile visages with today's Groupon: for $37, you get a Valentine's Day–themed aromatherapy facial at Refresh Center for Wellness & Cosmetic Therapy (a $75 value).
The licensed aestheticians at Refresh Center for Wellness & Cosmetic Therapy nurture complexions back to radiant health with aromatic botanical skin tonics. To begin, a lavender steam treatment calms the face by opening pores, dissolving anxiety, and obscuring approaching in-laws in clouds of fragrant vapor. Gentle hands then swab skin clear of excess oil with a pH-balancing rose-water toner, and buff away dull, dead tissue with a natural strawberry scrub. Congested skin finds physical and spiritual clarity via an organic Ayurvedic chocolate mask, reconnecting with its dewy, youthful self by embracing an ensuing moisturizer. The treatment closes with pampering service for the hands, using a strawberry-yogurt salve to soften rough skin without busting its diet.
Refresh Center for Wellness & Cosmetic Therapy
At Refresh Center for Wellness & Cosmetic Therapy, there’s an on-staff specialist for almost every aesthetic need. Two registered nurses perform Botox and dermal-filler injections, and two Xtreme Lashes stylists apply extensions to peepers. The staff also includes licensed massage therapists and makeup artists, all of whom make use of green products free of parabens, artificial dyes, sulfates, and cooties. At the helm of the ship is Dr. Afser Shariff, a board-certified surgeon tasked with overseeing all noninvasive cosmetic procedures.
