Celebrate Spring Spa Week with an At-Home Facial that Utilizes Brightening & Tightening Formulations


It's one of those good news, bad news days. The bad news: Today marks the IRS deadline to file your taxes. The good news: Spa Week starts, so seize the day and soothe your soul--after you file your taxes, of course. 

Spas across the country now offer massages, scrubs and facials at a discounted rate of $50 until April 21. This means you can spend the day sampling various services at a participating facility or stretch out your favorite treatments throughout the entire week. Either way, it's the perfect opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in a tranquil setting at a significantly reduced rate.

Still, you may not have the ability to work a Spa Week treatment into your busy schedule. If this is the case, consider an at-home facial. It allows you to enjoy some much needed me time while also addressing concerns such as dull, dehydrated or sagging skin. The formulations below serve to brighten and tighten your complexion for a more youthful and radiant look. They contain results-oriented ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and anti-aging antioxidants, which restore and revitalize your skin.

Feel free to play some soothing music and light up a couple of candles. Spa Week awaits in the privacy of your own home.
