Christine Chin Spa

Brace yourself—but just a little. After a mild glycolic peel, a specialist uses a machine with a diamond tip to remove the top layer of skin (the spa is fond of saying that it feels like a cat’s tongue) revealing clear, glowy skin. They recommend following up with a true facial—that means extractions—to clean out every last pore, followed by soothing serums and masks. It may not be quite as relaxing as you’re hoping, but the lit-from-within look you'll have for weeks afterward is totally worth it—just ask salon regular Gisele Bündchen.
