Though inner beauty is important, the fact remains that outer beauty is still often used to determine SAT scores and income-tax rates. Get a leg up on life with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a 30-minute Swedish massage (a $45 value) and 30-minute express facial (a $45 value) at The Look Salon & Day Spa in Chesapeake (a $90 total value).

The Look regales vertebrae and visages with a fleet of spa services and was named a 2011 Best of the Chesapeake salon by the Virginia-Pilot. A professional massage therapist will untangle muscles and cat's cradles during the 30-minute Swedish massage session, soothing surly deltoids and adductors with an array of sliding and rhythmic strokes. Harnessing a horde of brand-name products, The Look's aestheticians take faces in hand for a florid 30-minute facial, cleansing, toning, masking, and moisturizing faces in preparation for a stirring strut down the cat walk or a leap into a dog race, which is when two people sprint a lap around a track while eating a hot dog.
