When I heard that there was a treatment at the Exhale Spa in Santa Monica known as the Magic facial, I was running not walking to achieve what promised to be a miraculous experience. Exhale’s commitment to combining the best of ancient traditions with advanced scientific approaches to health and well-being are evident the minute you cross their portal into total wellness.
Admittedly, the Magic facial is costly ““ weighing in at a hefty $375, but it is worth every penny. After experiencing most of what this city has to offer in spa treatments, this is the most thorough facial I have ever had.
Every conceivable concern is addressed during the 90 minutes of decadent skin rapture. The facialist Jill really focused on every area of concern – eyes, lips, neck and décolleté ““ giving me a clear assessment of what I needed. I was apparently in, “desperate need of a deep cleaning.” Translation: my skin was dry, dehydrated, pore-clogged and in need of serious TLC.
The Magic facial is a sweet gift for any skin fanatic, as it’s anything but ordinary. The session includes an enzyme peel with a magic mushroom formula, high-energy sound waves to liberate skin congestion and super-antioxidants pushed deep into the dermal matrix ““ plus some good old fashion extractions, if needed.
This therapy superbly combines the latest technological modalities that truly achieve visible age-defying results. I left there feeling and looking ten years”¦ok maybe 5 years younger.
