Protecting yourself from the sun and eating right can help prevent wrinkles, but nothing can stop Mother Nature from smooshing your face together while you sleep. Reverse her wrinkly wrath with today's Groupon: for $69, you get microdermabrasion (a $100 value) and an age-defying facial (a $70 value) at The Skin Clinic, located in Tuscan Salon & Spa in North Smithfield (a $170 value).

The Skin Clinic's microdermabrasion facial exfoliates away the signs of aging, unearthing fresh layers of skin and leaving faces smooth, soft, and glowing with youth. Deputize a licensed aesthetician to evict lackluster skin cells with a microdermabrasion treatment, which abrades away dead skin, rough texture, and dullness with a stream of microcrystalline particles. The deep exfoliation polishes away fine lines and wrinkles, reduces acne scarring, and shrinks large pores. Unlike fermenting dinosaurs to increase the petroleum supply, the painless procedure produces results immediately.

The second act of the age-defying visit overhauls the epidermis with a lactic and glycolic acid wash to increase elasticity and collagen production and it's exfoliated under steam. Vitamin valedictorians A, C, and E then fold themselves into visages to nourish burgeoning young cells before a retinol mask softens any remaining fine lines and hydrates the skin.
