    What: Sense Signature Facial
    Ideal for those who want beautification without blotchiness, this discrete spa's gentle but effective multi-tasking treatment is centered around a deep pore cleansing followed by a series of herbal and enzyme protein masks that soften signs of aging without causing irritation or sun sensitivity. As a special add-on, insiders request the 24K Gold Collagen Mask made with the precious metal, silk extract and collagen to minimize wrinkles and further brighten the complexion.

    Skin secret: "Mix one tablespoon each of oatmeal extract and pure aloe vera with half a tablespoon of honey. Apply this mask to your skin for five to eight minutes after exfoliating. Rinse off, put on your toner, eye cream, and face moisturizer-you'll look instantly refreshed." -Antonina Dutu, lead esthetician
