$40 for a Showerless Body Wrap at Shelly’s Salon and Spa in Itasca ($95 Value)

Unlike trips to lion dens, human-cannonball camp, or The Museum of Upcoming Deadlines, trips to the spa leave bodies relaxed and stress-free. Revel in a tension-taming treatment with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get a lotus-touch seaweed-gel showerless body wrap at Shelly’s Salon and Spa in Itasca (a $95 value).

Tired torsos can seek refuge in the relaxing confines of Shelly’s Salon and Spa, where pampering pros work to rejuvenate and detoxify bone bags during one-hour body wraps laced with lavender oil and aloe. Brush-wielding aestheticians first paint frazzled physiques from top hat to toe skirt with a rich concoction of metabolism-hotwiring sea kelp, moisturizing klamath blue-green algae, and healing rose-hip seed oil. Warm towels are used to gently wipe away the wrap and coax bodies out of their fragrant cocoons, then revivified backs are kneaded and stroked with a finishing lotion as smooth as a silkworm's tongue.

For an additional $10, clients can opt for a custom wrap tailored to address individual dermatological difficulties with hydrating, tightening, or aromatherapy add-ons. Regardless of the chosen swaddling service, wrapees leave Shelly’s glowing bright enough to convert their living rooms into radiant blanket-fort villages.
