Saving Face

Renee Rouleau’s Essential 5 Facial

Putting your best face forward isn’t always easy.

To wit: facing the hot UPS guy after your colleague informed him of your obsession with his biceps.

Or, for that matter, keeping up a rosy-cheeked appearance after the winter wind has its way with your skin. So take shelter in Renée Rouleau’s Essential 5 Facial. It’s specifically designed to eradicate the ravages of weather and age on the face, neck, and hands.

After your skin’s cleansed, a thin layer of lactic acid is spread on your hands and arms. Then a grape wine peel is applied to the face, followed by a short spray of steam.

Next comes a five-minute face, neck, and shoulder massage. Then the lips and eyes get full attention (including sunscreen). After 90 minutes, you can again face the world — and everyone in it.

Just about.
