Hard Hitting Journalism: My Recent Facial at Diva

Do you remember that game that you used to play as a kid, 7 Minutes in Heaven? Okay, I never really played it, but I remember watching other kids make out in closets on TGIF or reruns of Blossom. Anyway, my recent facial at Diva Salon could easily steal that nomenclature. Though it would have been more like 77 minutes in heaven.

The treatment is entirely specialized, based on your skin type and condition, and uses a combination of oils, massage techniques, masks, exfoliations, and moisturizers. John, my esthetician – worked a miracle. My dull, November-abused skin came back from the dead. If you have the chance, request to have yours by him. He’s legendary in the facial world.

The whole thing will cost you between $45 and $85, depending on the options you request (chin wax? foot massage?) and it’s a steal considering how long the treatment runs.

In case you are wondering, this is no chatty service – I fell asleep multiple times. The experience was as relaxing as taking a vicodin, so be prepared to drool.

Aside from the blissful relaxation you’ll experience, you’ll walk out looking damn good. My skin has been glowing for days.

In short, I have come to the conclusion that there are few things in life better than a facial at Diva Salon. Yes, this is a large claim to make. Sex. Chocolate. Espresso by the sea in Monterosso al Mare. These all rank. And let me tell you, my last facial was right up there.
