Let's be honest: your face has seen things. Salt Lake winters, the inversion, that one dusty hike up City Creek where the wind won.

It deserves a reset. We sent ourselves to twelve spas across the valley to find the best facials, from Peak Day Spa's dangerous chocolate-covered blueberry perks to Elase Medical Spa's painless filler for the needle-phobic.

One provider even cleared my sinuses. Seriously.

So consider this your official permission slip to book a table for one and let someone else handle the glow. Here's where to start.

Peak Day Spa

The staff is genuinely helpful and kind, not fake-kind. That matters. You'll walk out feeling fabulous, and honestly, a little spoiled. Go see for yourself.
