Townhouse Spa Review: Green Tea Glo Facial

Townhouse Spa was my favorite places to unwind during New York Fashion Week, with services including manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, hair styling and makeup application. 

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years since I've been at Townhouse Spa so I was definitely overdue for a beauty treatment there! After changing into a luxe spa robe, I was ready for my customized facial - the Green Tea Glo, which is similar to the 60-minute VerryBerry Glo. My 30-minute treatment included Sonya Dakar skin care products, starting with the Mud Lavender Wash followed by the Aromasol Mist toner with lavender and tea tree. The ultra luxe green tea acid peel for normal skin was then applied to my face. My treatment also included a relaxing shoulder, neck and arm massage. My facial ended with Epicuren's Facial Emulsion Enzyme Moisturizer and Sonya Dakar's Omega-3 Repair Complex to help with discoloration. 

As you can see, I immediately had glowing, brighter skin! My face felt hydrated, moisturized and super soft. Since I had my facial in the evening there was no need to apply my nightly skin care regimen. I was able to just let all those nutrients from my facial sink in!

Thank you to Townhouse Spa for the customized facial experience! Townhouse Spa is the perfect place to indulge in a spa treatment, especially if you don't have a chance to enjoy a summer getaway.

Global Wellness Day Celebration at Red Door Spa NYC 5th Avenue Flagship

Red Door Spa’s Global Wellness Day Celebration is coming up on Saturday, June 13th on the rooftop terrace at their 5th Avenue Flagship location. Global Wellness Day is a not-for-profit day, a social platform created by volunteers dedicated to living well. Wellness Day, which brings together exercise, healthy eating and spiritual teachings, is a social movement that aims to raise awareness of living well throughout the world. The main goal of Global Wellness Day is simple, to spread awareness of living well, and to be instrumental in developing people’s perspective on health.

Spring Spa Week at Skin Spa NYC

To celebrate Spring Spa Week, Skin Spa hosted a kickoff celebration on April 9th with complimentary laser genesis, oxygen facials and express manicures at their 119 West 57th Street location. I decided on trying the OxyTrio, which focuses on hydrating your skin and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles with the stimulating power of Oxygen. It's the perfect treatment for environmentally damaged or dehydrated skin. 

Skin Spa's specialty serum infused, 30-minute oxygen treatment boosts skin's vitality and increases absorption of vitamins A,C E and other nutrients. Like plumping the skin's surface, expression lines are hydrated and sallow skin glows. 

During the OxyTrio, an activator (step 1), detoxifier (step 2) and Oxygenator (step 3) is applied, followed by a moisturizer. During my OxyTrio treatment, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my face but soon after my skin felt rejuvenated and refreshed. My skin was immediately glowing and super hydrated. This is the perfect, instant treatment for a special event, and will keep your skin hydrated for the next 7 days. 

During Spa Week, the OxyTrio treatment, regularly $100, is only $50. A package of 6 treatments at $500 is available for $300. There's still time to book the OxyTrio or indulge in other Spa Week $50 treatments! Spa Week ends on April 19th! Go to spaweek.com to check out treatments and book appointments.
