Wisdom of Africa Treatments

Note to self: When your aesthetician calls you “wise beyond your years,” do not take it as a compliment.

Especially if she says it while examining your crow’s-feet under her NASA-strength looking glass. Instead, get a new facialist. Try someone who works at Soma Spa, since they’ve just introduced African skin care line Wisdom of Africa to the U.S.

It’s an intelligent little product line packed with indigenous African plants, essential oils, and grape seed extracts. The pros at Soma use it in a range of bodywork and facial services and stress that the experience will not be just another skin-picking, in-and-out session. Instead, they’re all about leaving you feeling ludicrously relaxed.

The grape elements, especially, add to the stupor you might walk out with. Just give yourself some time to recover before you get behind the wheel.

Because we know you’re smarter than that.

Available at Soma the Spa at Bosse Sports, 141 Boston Post Road, Sudbury (978-443-7006 or somadayspa.com).
