Winter’s big chill can make our skin look less than perfect. To protect it from the elements, treat yourself to a spa day and de- stress from the wild year we’ve all experienced. Here are some of our favorite treatments at local venues for the solstice and beyond.
1. Jan Marini Glycolic Peel Treatment
We love the team led by Michael Hodges at Logan 14 Salon Spa. For winter, they recommend the glycolic peel. The treatments work to smooth texture, fade the appearance of discoloration and minimize wrinkles. For at-home skincare, maximize the effect of this treatment with some of the brand’s products like Bioglycolicface cleansers and C-ESTA face serums. 1314 14th St. NW, 202.506.6868, logan14salonspa.com
2. Dermaplane Pro Ageless Facials
Spa Logic near Dupont Circle has the cure with its selection of Dermaplane Pro facials and hydrojelly masks. Splurge on one of multiple 45- to 75-minute Dermaplane Pro facials that will scrape off the dry, dead skin that builds up year-round. 1721 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202.232.6475, spalogicdc.com
3. S + P Signature Facial
For 90 minutes, sit back and let your skin heal with an enzymatic steaming therapy, dermaplaning, a dermal infusion treatment, extractions, a soothing jelly mask and LED light therapy. Take a deep breath and release as the esthetician finishes the treatment with a facial and decollete massage. 2440 M St. NW, Ste. 505,202.810.7700, spmedspa.com
4. Winter Skin Care Package
Because everyone’s skin is different, INARI Salon & Spa puts clients’ individual needs first to determine the right course of treatment. To ensure that you’re quenching exactly what your skin thirsts, the spa offers a customizable winter skincare package that features options like designer peels, hydrating masks and LED therapy. Plus, master esthetician Mai Duong uses deep pore-cleansing and collagen- producing massage techniques, ensuring you leave looking and feeling your best. 1425 K St. NW, Ste. 102, 202.898.6350, inarisalon.com
5. Le Grand Classique Facial and Green Peel Herbal Peeling Treatment
After 38 years of experience, Luigi Parasmo was no stranger to the sight of dehydrated skin. To treat your tight, dull and reddening complexion, his spa has two soothing treatments on the menu. For those looking to exfoliate, tone and purify, the customizable 90-minute Le Grand Classique facial is best. If you’re looking for a bit more, try the Green Peel herbal peeling treatment. Created 60 years ago by a German doctor, Christine Schrammek, the peel treats various skin problems and achieves clean and even toning with herbal plant mixtures. The treatments promote skin regeneration, renewal and nourishment, as well as increased blood circulation. All of this is achieved in two visits over five days. 1510 Wisconsin Ave. NW, 202.333.2244, luigiparasmosalon.com
