Paprika Facials

Remember the time your Hungarian boyfriend compared you to a bowl of chicken parikash? “So warm, so comforting, so aromatic.”

Yeah. He didn’t last long.

Be prepared to brave the comparison once more. Celadon Spa is offering a paprika and apple facial, and you’ll definitely want to avail yourself of the treatment. It’s totally organic and uses both ingredients liberally: The fragrant mixture is massaged onto the face to exfoliate and hydrate dry winter skin.

And if you can’t bear to be compared to a poultry dish again, try the equally beneficial almond and pumpkin facial, which is just as indulgent.

Who you calling chicken now?
