Extra Information on Hangover Facials

Spas all over the city are now offering some post-reveling recuperation like Luxe in Roscoe Village! The skin care solution for the over-imbibed at this four-year-old, full-service beauty spot is simply called the ‘Hangover Facial’. The relaxing session here starts with a foot soak. After getting ‘cozy’ next to the fireplace the skin care specialist begins a manual lymphatic drainage technique to help release toxins. Cold stone therapy is then applied to increase blood circulation. And to top it all off, reflexology is also offered for the feet! This hour-long respite will cost you $110.

At Urban Spa Chic in West Town, clients can personalize their spa experience, but one pre-planned package offered here can be perfect after a long ‘night out on the town’--‘The After-hours’. This trio treatment lasts about an hour-and-a-half and costs $110 bucks. It includes a 30 minute body massage, a pedicure that focuses on the balls of the feet, and a ‘Bye Bye Bags’ eye treatment that is geared towards eliminating dark circles and puffiness under the eye.

And, the day-after remedy at Bliss in the W Hotel on Lake Shore Drive is called the ‘Hangover Herbie’. It starts by getting wrapped in Mylar to help detoxify. A mask is then applied to hydrate the complexion. While that dries the technician gives an intense 15 minute foot massage. After the mask is removed, the face is sprayed with oxygen to activate the vitamins in the skin. It retails for $215 and it’s a 105 minute treatment.
