With your eyes closed, your sense of smell naturally becomes stronger, and for good reason at this relaxing gem of a spa...
I have been to a few spas, but after researching dozens around Long Island, I decided to try Polished Skincare Lounge for two reasons: 1 - It was practically in my doorstep. 2 - The lounge-feel and delicious-sounding treatments made me feel like I was about to order from a tasty menu.
I ""ordered"" the Classic Spa-tini Facial. After walking past the red velvet ropes, I entered the retro-funky lounge and was warmly greeted, served with an ice cold white wine (perfect for this scorching summer!). Crystal was the specialist who worked with me.
From steaming, to extractions, and the most thorough exfoliation I've ever had, Crystal took such time and was so skilled in what she did. At some spas, people put a mask on your face and disappear for 20 minutes while you relax. This treatment included a facial and warming massage.
My sense of smell picked up each lotion and cleanser, beginning with a lemony scent, to coconut, to passion fruit, to orange. What caught me by surprise in a great way was the peppermint oil rubbed around the scalp area, completely bringing me to relaxation heaven.
60 minutes felt like an amazing 3 hours. My face was radiant, renewed, and relaxed. If Polished Skincare Lounge was a restaurant, I'd give it the highest Michelin stars in the sky...
