The world's first day-spa owner invited clients to "experience the healing powers of this here tar pit," which was bad news for his clientele but invaluable for modern-day archeologists. Preserve well-being without becoming permanently preserved with today's Groupon to Turquoise Medical Spa, located on Post Road in Fairfield. Choose from three options:

• $70 for a facial microdermabrasion (a $175 value)
• $80 for a SkinMedica facial peel (a $165 value)
• $100 for 10 units of botox (a $150 value)

Turquoise Medical Spa combines professional skincare services and a tranquil spa emporium to create a skin-transforming, bliss-saturated beauty experience. The microdermabrasion treatment makes faces silky smooth by stealing away past-ripe skin cells, erasing pigmentation mistakes, and controlling the oil that's naturally secreted whenever you reminisce about Reading Rainbow. The SkinMedica facial peel, on the other face, evacuates dead dermis cells in order to treat hyperpigmented, aging, or sun-damaged areas. You can also choose to let one of the medical spa's specialists adjust your frown lines with 10 units of botox, a purified protein solution that temporarily relaxes muscles, exiling fine lines and creating a smoother frontispiece. Results are visible within days and can last up to six months.
