So many friends, so few weeknights. And who wants to waste a Thursday waiting for your skin to settle after a visit to the facialist?

Even so, summer is almost here, and you need to pretty up. So slip into Lavinia Borcau Skin Care and get yourself some organic facials and peels that are gentle as can be.

Lavinia, a former rock-climbing champion in her native Romania, now focuses her attention on your surfaces (and not some mountain’s). She recently traveled back home to acquire the recipes for her fruit- and vegetable-based remedies, but you only have to sashay over to Brookline Village.

While your face is shedding its winter dust, Lavinia might tell you why her mom claimed to always have a peach or a tomato on her face. (If she doesn’t, ask.)

And speaking of tomatoes, don’t worry. You won’t look like one when you leave.

Though you will look fresh as a summer peach.

Lavinia Borcau Skin Care, 29 Harvard Street, Brookline (617-734-5523).
