This Valentine’s Day treat your special someone (or yourself!) to a relaxing day at Equinox’s Full Service Spa in Highland Park, a well kept secret, in my opinion. For a limited time only they are offering a festive Strawberry Facial, perfect for banishing dry winter skin from your complexion. And with every amenity you could ever imagine in a health club, it is not surprising that their full service spa is the same caliber of excellence.
I was lucky enough to indulge in the Strawberry Facial early this week and let me tell you—I am still experiencing the youthful results! Brandi, my esthetician, explained that this limited time only facial is suitable for all skins types. Perfect for my sensitive skin. What is so great about the strawberry formula is the high level of vitamins found in them and the natural alpha hydroxyl acid, which aids in cell renewal a.k.a. smooth, youthful skin.
After a tingly 30 minutes of cleansing and exfoliation, punctuated with a relaxing upper body deep tissue massage, my face was rinsed and the highly anticipated strawberry mask was applied. The mask pulled toxins from my capillaries and gave my skin a final glow that was reminiscent of a post work out blush.
So, instead of gorging on conversation hearts and chocolates this holiday pamper yourself and your loved one with a gift that is genuinely good for you and your skin!
