Gommage P50 Corps
"I have been going to Aida Bicaj for facials for almost two decades now and have been a Biologique Recherche addict for most of them because of it. I recently started using their body lotions and potions to try and get summer ready. This exfoliating scrub is my new favorite. They are not miracle workers but they do help and the ritual of self care always feels good doesn’t it?" —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

"The QCNY spa on Governor's Island is the perfect mini-getaway when you need a relaxing break from the city. Whether you're looking for a spa day, a massage, or to spend your day in some pools overlooking Manhattan—this place has it all." —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor
The Seawater Spa at Gurney's Montauk
"The Seawater Spa at Gurney's Montauk was recently redesigned by AIRE Ancient Baths creator Alonso Balaguer Designs, and it has a similarly spacious, serene vibe—all 30,000 feet of it. Highly recommended: The Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, which incorporates warm salt stones that impart trace minerals, provide gentle exfoliation, and feel as though they are melting into your skin with every stroke." —April Long, Beauty Director
Sage + Sound
"The Upper East Side is back, haven't you read? One of the newest additions to the neighborhood is the spa Sage + Sound, which offers a suite of services, including most notably facials by the experts from Tracie Martyn. It's a tough reservation to score, but well worth the wait." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
Helix Midnight Elite
"When it comes to truly embracing wellness, what's a more important sanctuary than home? None of us are getting enough sleep, and I know the rest I do get never feels as good as it should. Enter the Helix Midnight Elite. After consulting with the brand's website about how I sleep and what my rest is missing, I settled on this five-layer, cooling mattress that promises to optimize sleep temperature, reduce back pressure, and overall deliver a more restorative and comfortable night's sleep. A massage might be nice, but this is an upgrade I can stay excited about for years to come." —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

"Descending into the Greenwich Hotel's subterranean Shibui Spa is like taking a journey to Japan without leaving Manhattan, and if you are partial (as I am) to a truly therapeutic, get-the-kinks-out massage, you can do no better than the new Ashiatu treatment, which involves assisted stretching, deep bodywork, and acupressure delivered by a very masterful therapist's hands, elbows, and feet. And don't forget to bring a swimsuit so that you can drift dreamily around the spa's divine pool afterwards." —April Long, Beauty Director
Glowbar
"As a new Yorker, I am always on the go. I am constantly looking for the fastest yet most efficient ways to get things done. Thats why I go to GlowBar for my monthly facials. During your 30-minute treatment you get a custom facial that leaves your skin glowing." —Camryn Harris, Freelance Fashion Assistant
Cerabalm
"In a perfect world, I would pop in to get regular facials from the amazing Danuta Mieloch at Rescue Spa in NYC (she has lifting, glow-boosting magic in her hands—and microcurrent wands), but because that remains an unrealized dream, I am so glad that her multi-purpose CeraBalm is something I can use at home. It can be used as a comforting, gentle, and effective cleanser (makeup stands no chance), a hydrating mask, or dabbed on SOS spots like cuticles and elbows." —April Long, Beauty Director

"I try to take every opportunity to add relaxation and wellness into my busy routine. A great way to do this is a spa treatment at the Guerlain Spa—their sculpting facial is amazing, and they have many other options to indulge in." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director
QC Terme
"I spent a summer working in Milan, and my favorite weekly retreat was the metropolis escape that is QC TermeMilano. In the heart of the city I could find serenity. Even in the outdoor courtyard you feel as if you are miles outside of Milan. They have a full roster of treatments, saunas, a waterbed room, indoor & outdoor pools, and much more to enjoy." —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant
Akasha Spa and Fitness
"Maybe a spa visit isn’t the first indulgence you would associate with Amsterdam, but if you’re venturing to Holland any time soon—for Vermeer, perhaps?—I urge you to book a treatment at the Akasha Spa. Nestled underneath the city’s stunning Conservatorium Hotel, it feels like a luxurious secret hideaway, where you can sample a range of restorative delights ranging from oenotherapy massages (completed with a glass of wine) to watsu to one of Natura Bisse’s stellar anti-aging facials." —April Long, Beauty Director
Brow Renovation Serum
"After a nearly 15 year hiatus, I went to Joey Healy's cult-beloved brow studio for a tune up to my arches. And I was not disappointed—I even get compliments on my eyebrows now. Consider me a client for life. The best part: I started using Healy's Brow Renovation Serum, which is packed with peptides—and in a few weeks time my sculpted brows were noticeably bushier. I am hooked." —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

"I have long been a devotee of David Mallett's Greene Street outpost of his iconic Parisian salon. Everyone who works there is at the very top of their game, but I am especially partial to Giorgio who has given me some of the best highlights that my brunette mop has ever seen. I hesitate to go to anyone else." —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
"The Tokio treatment at David Mallett is pure magic. It turns your hair into the softest, shiniest mane that you can’t help but run your fingers through all the time. And did I mention it lasts for two months?" —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
