Without a facial after every president's birthday, human skin will begin to show the ravages of repeated pie-strikes, attacks by hostile volleyballs, and nights spent accidentally sleeping on pet porcupines. Undo the marks caused by Pokey's desire to snuggle with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $85 worth of facials from Skincare by Stephanie at The Refuge Day Spa in Rocklin. This deal is only good for work with Stephanie, and not with any other staff members at Refuge Day Spa. This deal must be redeemed in one visit.

The Refuge's resident rejuvenator, Stephanie can cleanse and massage weary flesh-emoticons with thorough skin-polishing facials. For a treatment tailored to your skincare desires, the Refuge Signature Facial ($70) combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, possible extractions, and a stress-melting neck and shoulder massage. The Clear Complexion treatment ($75) delivers a one-two punch of deep enzymatic action and fruit acids topped with a snazzy anti-bacterial mask, transforming your face into a polished mirror that causes beautiful headaches if you try to look at it in a real mirror. Even dudes can look less like island castaways with the dapper-making GQ Men's Facial ($60), which double-cleanses, exfoliates, extracts (if needed), massages, and moisturizes sir-skin. In the process, evict dead, unwanted skin from your pores' apartment complex by adding a microdermabrasion ($25) to any facial.

After experiencing Stephanie's expertise on skull exteriors and careful custom touches, your skin will shimmer like the surface of a lake at twilight, but without skinny-dipping lovebirds constantly frolicking in it. Call The Refuge Day Spa to schedule an appointment with Stephanie.
