Ready, Set, Glow

Skin Bootcamp at Cleise Brazilian Day Spa

Mirror, mirror on the bed, why’s my face so cracked and red?

Perk up, princess. Here’s a plan that’ll whip your skin into shape.

First you’ll consult with Cleise Gomes of Cleise Brazilian Day Spa. She’ll design a six-month regimen specific to your needs.

To start, you’ll get a series of detoxifying treatments, from facials (glycolic peels and microdermabrasion) to waxing, using natural, enzyme-based products. Three months later, choose from Cleise’s signature facial (face, eyes, neck, decollete, hands), firming facial (corrects and soothes), or back facial. And learn which products to use back at the castle.

Five months in: tension relief and rejuvenation treatments. Finally, during the last week, you’ll get a final full-body treatment, facial, and back facial. Your hands will get a deeply hydrating Brazil-fusion manicure. Then it’s wax off, Mr. Miyagi style.

It’s all topped with an exfoliating shower and destressing massage that’ll leave you over the moon.

And certainly the fairest of them all.
