Without regular care, skin will begin to show the ravages of repeated pie strikes, attacks by hostile volleyballs, and nights spent accidentally sleeping on pet porcupines. Protect and pamper your pelt with today's Groupon: for $40, you get a classic european facial at Vallon MediSpa (an $85 value) in Northampton.

Vallon MediSpa's classic european facial, a customized treatment, is a time-tested method of purifying pores, evening tone, and softening skin. During the 60-minute facial, a dermal doyen will cleanse the surface of the skin before sloughing off defunct cells with gentle exfoliation and subliminal insults.

Next, a stream of steam will softly blast the face to extract dirt and half-eaten jellybeans from pores. Mugs, necks, and shoulder districts receive a relaxing, muscle-melting massage. The beauty treatment concludes with a customized mask and a nourishing moisturizer. Vallon MediSpa uses the Skinceuticals skincare line for its services, which is packed with vitamin C and alpha hydroxy to treat skin damage and leave faces feeling as smooth as if they had been licked by an angel or Barry White's pet dolphin.
