Clear Blue Facial at SomaFit

When Violet Beauregarde morphed into a blueberry at Willy Wonka’s factory, the Oompa Loompas made it clear that her complexion — not to mention her figure — was doomed.

But now it appears that young Violet might have been onto something.

Witness SomaFit’s new Clear Blue Facial, which uses the berry’s nutrients and antioxidants to smooth and brighten skin through cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. The treatment incorporates Alchimie Forever products, which include a mix of cranberries, grape seeds, and jojoba.

Throughout the process, you’ll be treated to foot and shoulder massages. By the time the cooling blueberry cream mask is applied, you’ll feel fresh as a morning glory and smell better than a bakery.

All without going blue in the face.

Available at SomaFit, 2121 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Hall Place and 35th Street (202-965-2121 or somafit.com).
