While we long for the day that we break out of our social-distancing shells, there are still a couple of things that we can do including what we miss, and possibly need, the most: a little TLC to get us through. The power of a rejuvenating facial, properly manicured set of nails, or deep tissue massage to knead out the stiff muscles has never been so apparent. Serving the desperate calls of beauty-stripped Hongkongers are mobile spas that bring their services to the comfort of your own home. You may not be able to physically step foot in a spa, but you can indulge in pampering that comes to your door.
