We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite self-indulgent skin care facial treatments from luxe spas across the globe. Summer-ready skin care starts here.
The photo finish: DNA Growth Factor Exfoliating Facial, 50 minutes (approx. $175); 80 minutes (approx. $245)
The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village (fourseasons.com/westlakevillage/spa/)
Call it the California way: Inherently summer ready, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village—a 41,000-foot green oasis just off the Malibu coast— exclusively offers the DNA Growth Factor Exfoliating Facial for reversing the skin damage from year-round sunshine. Developed by Dr. Ronald Moy, a Beverley Hills-based dermatologist and president of the American Academy of Dermatology, the literally skin-deep facial targets effects of a stressed and photo-damaged complexion, using an amino acid glycolic peel to slough away dull cells along the surface. A professional strength growth factor from Iceland is then infused into skin along with DNA repair enzymes for a truly revitalized complexion.

The champagne treatment: Ultimate Caviar Facial, 90 minutes ($269)
Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Banff Springs (willowstream.com/banffsprings)
What better way clear away woeful winter skin than with a seasonal overhaul set against the Canadian Rockies, where the regal full-body spa treatments at the Willow Steam Spa are as fittingly majestic? This indulgent, rehydrating skin care facial features Kerstin Florian’s Caviar collection, a protein and peptide-rich age-defense serum and ampoule application that improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines. A mountain of luxury from head to toe, the treatment begins with a foot exfoliation and soothing footbath. Moving on up, the seasonal rejuvenation continues with a multi-acid skin exfoliation, followed by facial massage using energizing stones to lift and contour, while a protein-rich marine mask is applied to improve skin’s luminosity. Embrace total skin rejuvenation with a refining décolleté and hand treatment—also perfect for holding an equally luxe Menage A Pear cocktail from the hotel’s Ramsay Lounge later on.
