Spending a day at a spa is a tranquil experience surpassed only by swimming in a pool filled with mashed potatoes or having a hand model slap you to sleep. Pamper yourself with today's Groupon: for $59, you get an 80-minute spa package that includes an aromatherapy facial, body-polish treatment, and a glass of champagne at Sanctuary Spa in Long Beach (a $175 value).

Inside the contempo-cozy boutique spa, Sanctuary's therapists help clients look and feel their best with an expansive menu of health and beauty services. A one-hour, customized aromatherapy facial (a $115 value) kicks off the 80-minute spa package better than a glass of Tang, and harnesses the subtle power of plant extracts to accommodate an array of skin types. Essential oils are gently massaged into the skin to encourage lymphatic drainage and to help alleviate muscle tension caused by frowning at too many poorly delivered knock-knock jokes. Bodies can shed last year's skin suits with a 20-minute body-polish treatment (a $45 value) in which an exfoliating coconut scrub wicks away dead surface cells and a slathering of rich shea-butter cream helps to give epidermises a soft, velvety finish. Clients are free to sip on a glass of champagne (a $15 value) during their pampering power hour.
