An over-the-top spa experience might be the most appreciated, least-expected gift of the season. Even better if it comes with a pair of airline tickets and a hotel reservation. If you’re thinking of ditching the digital shopping cart and instead opting for a day, or weekend of healthy decadence, here are some of the most excellent ways to splurge.
Caesars Palace Go Facial, Caesars Palace (Las Vegas)
Launched to celebrate Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace’s five-year anniversary, the 100-minute Nobu Go Facial combines five luxury spa experiences. Meaning “five” in Japanese, the Go Facial starts with an immersive virtual reality meditation. From there, skin undergoes a “Cinderella Lift”, a hydrating facial featuring a topical version of Botox applied to face and décolletage. Detoxifying masks are placed on the feet, followed by paraffin masks on hands and feet and a gold mask applied to the face. The treatment is completed with a full-body moisturizer application.
Ultra-Fractional Treatment, Skin Laundry (Multiple Locations)
Best known for a signature, no-down-time laser and light facial that takes just 15 minutes, Skin Laundry has recently launched a higher octane Ultra Fractional Treatment. The new laser facial is a non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser that targets pigmentation, reverses sun-damage and improves texture through stimulating collagen. Post-laser, a hydrating, pressurized oxygen is applied to deliver hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides into the skin for deep infusion of anti-aging ingredients and lasting hydration.
