Like Hawaii, relaxation can be a challenging state to reach. Ensnare elusive serenity with today’s Groupon: for $65, you get a one-hour facelift massage at The Massage Center (a $130 value).

The muscle-soothing experts at The Massage Center use 27 different strokes to firm and tighten facial muscles with the one-hour toning massage session. Clients relax in well-appointed rooms as licensed therapists gently apply warm steam towels, then fortify weary faces, hands, feet, and arms with four rounds of vigorous kneading and thumb-wrestling matches. Available any day of the week, the facelift massage can yield tangible benefits after just one session.

The Massage Center hangs its hat in the recently renovated Dudley Square, which was formerly the Dudley School and was originally built in 1881. The location allows clients to seek serenity in a historical setting, minus the jet lag associated with time travel.
