Living in NYC is expensive but being able to relax and recharge shouldn’t be. Skincare is having a moment due to the fact that most of us are spending more time than ever on web cameras and want to ensure we always look our best. I’m going to share my favorite spa chains that offer exceptional treatments while still helping you not break the bank.

Face Gym
Why it’s great
FaceGym is exactly what it sounds like, it’s a workout for your face. The estheticians specialize in Instagram-worthy facial massage but also offer add-ons like radiofrequency, cryocontour, and express workouts. While we wait for the world to go back to normal, they are also offering one on one virtual classes with their estheticians where they will teach you popular facial massage techniques via webcam.

Laser facials are great for those looking to fade sunspots and melasma, minimizes redness, and stimulate collagen, and target fine lines and wrinkles.
