Put Your Best Face Forward

Hot and Cold Stone Facial

Find it at: Dharma Day Spa & Salon, 2904 S. Lone Pine Ave., Springfield, 417-882-2755, dharmadayspa.com 

Get Pampered: The key to this soothing facial is the contrasting hot and cold stones that help get you into a state of deeper relaxation. Hot stones are used to massage the back of your neck while your face is treated to a stimulating facial massage that gets heat flowing to your face. Cold marble stones help cool you down as you enjoy an upper body massage and face mask. This is a great way to clear up those pesky sinuses that seem to flare up each fall. 

Price: $65 for one hour
