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. Fight back with today’s Groupon: for $39, you get a hydrating facial (an $85 value) at Vivianna Day Spa in downtown Ottawa.

Vivianna Day Spa is a bastion of beauty that's dedicated to aiding and abetting any and all dermal vigilantes who walk through the doors with a vendetta against dryness, sun damage, and the appearance of wrinkles. The professional staff of beauty experts approaches each spa treatment with an onslaught of acquired skills, high-quality products, and personalized attention to the client's needs. The 75-minute hydrating facial, which is safe for any skin type, commences with a gentle cleanse using world-renowned Juvena products. A feather-light exfoliating treatment banishes skin cells that have been loitering a little too long past countenance curfew, followed by a soothing mask designed to aid in the long-term fight against dryness. After the mask makes a dramatic exit with fabulous flair, a rich lotion smoothes over visage surfaces, sealing in moisture and causing tiny cells to test their newfound confidence with a series of cheekbone catwalks.

The newly renovated Vivianna Day Spa boasts a variety of lounging options around the facility for relaxing before or after treatment. Face enhancers can take advantage of the sanctuary’s quiet ambience before heading back out into the world, being careful to avoid thirsty hummingbirds bent on drinking the dew-like moisture from newly freshened façades.
