BEST ALL-IN-ONE FOOT TREATMENT

SOLE RENEWAL TREATMENT

Winner: Nail Palace

If your tired feet are feeling less than sexy these days with dry, cracked heels and lumpy calluses, they may be crying out for a spot of pampering to help repair the damage and restore that coveted smoothness. What better way to heal your feet than with the Sole Renewal Treatment at Nail Palace? It promises to soften hardened skin while replenishing vital moisture for soft, supple skin.

At the Correcting and Healing phase, dead cells on the skin surface are loosened so that they can be effortlessly removed to reveal new cells beneath.

By stimulating the new cells from the inside out, your feet’s renewal process is reactivated, leaving you with healthier feet and softened soles – not to mention, a new spring in your step! From $415.15 (60 mins).

BEST ALL-IN-ONE FACIAL

SENZE VITALITY FACIAL

Winner: SK-II Boutique Spa by Senze Salus

This pampering facial begins with an aromatic ritual to balance your skin and deeply anchor your senses in the present moment. Then, triple cleansing, steaming, and extraction, prep your skin to receive the treatment's full benefits.

The highlight of this holistic facial is Bojin, a traditional eastern therapy. Working with a special microcrystalline rock tool and certified organic essential oils, our therapist uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to unblock facial knots and stimulate facial acupoints along your skin’s energy paths.

By removing energy blocks, your skin is empowered by its natural ability to heal. Toxins are flushed out, and blood circulation is enhanced for better absorption of active skincare ingredients.

Once skin is perfectly primed, it is slathered with the award-winning SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. Cutting-edge ultrasound therapy boosts the penetration of SK-II's legendary PITERA™ to unlock the journey to crystal clear skin. At $348 (90 mins).
