This unseasonably cold, foggy summer has our skin looking as dull and gray as the sky.

Give your face a pick-me-up with a signature treatment from Lara Ballis of Splendente Skin Care.

Ballis, a licensed medical aesthetician, combines her medical expertise with traditional techniques, tailoring each 75-minute session to the client. After a detailed analysis, Ballis might start with a tingly lactic acid peel and diamond microdermabrasion (done with a vacuum-like wand that’s surprisingly soothing). Extractions, a mask, and a light face and shoulder massage leave you as relaxed as you are glowing.

A bonus: Ballis cleans up your brows — so you’re ready to face the day, fog or more fog.

Splendente Skin Care, 1640 Bush Street, between Gough and Franklin Streets (650-814-2534 or splendenteskincare.com), $99 for first-time clients.
