Spa treatments of the strange

One of the nice things about getting a facial is that the treatment is fairly standardized. Sure, the order of the process might differ along with the products, but you can pretty much bet the farm that a facial in any spa around in the world will include cleansing, exfoliation, steaming and a mask.

For the wild-at-heart spa goer, the New York Times Style Section highlighted a few new treatments out there that are sure to feel more unpredictable than your typical European facial. There's the champagne and caviar facial, which blends the enzymes of bubbly with the benefits of caviar extract for a truly luxe experience. Offered at Verabella Skin Therapy in Beverly Hills, the spa claims the treatment offers a firming, hydrating effect for the face. Then there's the Beer Pedicure at Exsalonce Salon and Day Spa in Chicago, which uses the enzymes of the brew to help soften calluses and exfoliate the feet. And for the truly adventurous, there's the Boyzilian Wax at the Nickel Spa in San Francisco. Boyzilian being a Brazilian for boys. Any takers on that one?

Thank you Lori, I will definately check out your website.
Joan #2 GET A LIFE, Joan. People don't have medical insurance because most feel that they don't need it. Which is very debateable. I think I know something about this as I am a licensed insurance agent. As far as "THEY" flaunting people spending money on stupid stuff, obviously you have never had a facial before. Maybe you should--Maybe your attitude would get better. They really are wonderful, refreshing and relaxing. I'm also a licensed aesthetician.
P.S.
Joan, you are wrong--- this country needs ONE LESS REBELLION. Relax
and get a facial. You'll LOVE IT.
