Texas spa offers 2.5-hour facial

The Lake Austin Spa Resort in Texas has introduced The Regal facial, a two-and-a-half-hour treatment created by La Maison Valmont exclusively for the resort. “With hand to heart, I confess after almost three hours of multiple applications of bio-medic Valmont products (much of it, medical grade and designed to absorb into the deepest layers of the skin), coupled with four different types of facial massage, I gazed into the mirror to see nary a line on my face,” Laurann Claridge writes.
