Three luxurious facials to add to your beauty bucket list.

LA MER BACCARAT FACIAL AT SPA DE LA MER , NEW YORK

The Baccarat Hotel in New York is a jewel box of a setting, so it’s hardly surprising that entering the first stand-alone La Mer spa in North America is like being ensconced inside a marble-wrapped vault. This is decadence as only La Mer can do: The relaxing yet results-driven La Mer Baccarat Facial uses diamond powder to exfoliate skin and includes a massage with Baccarat crystals—blue (calming) and red (stimulating). The true jewel in the anti-aging crown is the application of a mask containing a super-concentrated dose of the potent sea-kelp- and antioxidant-rich Miracle Broth. After 90 minutes, my skin looks like I’ve just emerged from a time machine. VANESSA CRAFT
