Haven Help Us

Skinhaven Spa

Who can forget Robert Burns’s immortal words: O my luve’s like a red, red rose …

What do you suppose was wrong with her? Broken capillaries? Sun damage? Rosacea?

Age-related skin issues aren’t anything new. But these days there’s something you can do about it. Check out one of L.A.’s best-kept secrets: Skin Haven. It’s a private pampering bungalow that offers what a girl needs most to salvage the soft, supple skin of her youth. Owner and aesthetician Sharon (come on, say it with us: Sha-RONE) Ronen, a refugee exec from the music biz, can guide you back to those days when sun, pollution, stress, cigarettes, caffeine, and hard living hadn’t yet taken their toll.

Unlike at other places, you won’t see anyone coming in or going out. Ronen focuses only on you and the job of restoring some dermal virginity.

So when someone decides to write a poem about you, you’ll be immortalized for something other than your redness.

Skin Haven (323-782-5500 or skinhaven.com). By appointment only.
