Spa Week Pampers On a Budget, Nationally!

By Chrissy Callahan

Do you ever find yourself at the spa, mid-treatment, all of a sudden realizing how much this relaxing experience is costing you? Well, hopefully you have a good enough aesthetician or masseuse that you forget all your monetary troubles for a while, but it’s a sad truth that spa services don’t come cheap. And the cheap ones aren’t necessarily the best (or cleanest) ones, so you’re inevitably stuck in a sticky, expensive conundrum when it comes time for some spa-laxation.

But we’ve got some good news for you pampering princesses, because this April, pampering gets a bit cheaper for one, blissful week: Spa Week. For this one spa-mazing week, you can get a plethora of spa services for $50. Yep, you read that correctly, ladies, $50! During the week of April 11-17, spas, fitness centers and other wellness facilities across the country are offering 2-3 of their most exclusive services for only $50. This is Spa Week’s 14^th season and they’re expanding to even more cities.

To help you all get excited for Spa Week, we previewed a special Spa Week Microaquatic Facial at Smile & Skin Aesthetics in Waltham, MA and let’s just say that we’re pumped to go back again sometime soon. This 70-minute facial uses Sue Devitt’s Microaquatic products to help firm and smooth skin, leaving it feeling and looking more youthful.

As our aesthetician Stacey worked her magic on our skin, massaging lotions and masks onto our skin, we fell into a deep state of relaxation. She explained that the Sue Devitt products she was using would leave our normally dry skin feeling quenched with moisture. And she didn’t lie. After 70 minutes of skin hydration, exfoliation, and some massaging thrown in, we left Smile & Skin Aesthetics feeling completely refreshed.  And we learned a thing or two about how to care for our acne-prone skin.

The best part? We discovered a new place to get a facial! And that’s what we love so much about Spa Week: For one week, you can test-drive one or a bunch of spas at a discounted price, and possibly find a new favorite in the process.  So, get going, lovelies, and book some services. In the world of spas, as in fashion, it’s a jungle out there – and these $50 treatments are selling out fast!
