Introducing the $48 eco-friendly facial

Getting a relaxing, skin-soothing facial in the middle of a busy workweek sounds like a luxury reserved for my retired mother and women of a certain class. Who has hours – let alone the extra cash – to invest in fancy treatments?

Enter Blitz Facial Bar, an express skin care boutique brought to you by the people behind the ever-popular Body Blitz Spas (famed for their water circuits and skin scrubs). There are two locations, one in Leslieville (1133 Queen East, 416-446-2400) and one across from Trinity Bellwoods (803 Queen West, 416-360-1700).

Facials start at $48 for the signature Blitz + Glow, which includes cleansing, exfoliating, toning, an argan serum massage and hydration. You can upgrade from there if you want extractions, micro-dermabrasion, lymphatic massages or any of Blitz’s $10 booster shots to address a variety of skin concerns. 

The staff are friendly and efficient. Soft rock plays in the background while you recline in what looks like a dentist’s chair but is actually much comfier, and your skin gets some much-needed tender love. All the products used by Blitz are eco-friendly and derived from natural sources. 

While you’re at it, bring the boyfriend along! Blitz believes in equal-opportunity skin care and doesn’t have that fussy spa feel that often turns men off the experience.
