Some post-summer maintenance treatments to consider treating yourself to:

  • Rehydrate your skin with a facial
  • Let a massage erase any neck and back tension from being back in your desk chair
  • Exfoliate those feet after hoofing around in sandals and hiking boots all summer
  • Mani-pedi — a personal favourite!

Check out these Vancouver spas and feature treatments!
