Rough, scaly skin? Acne? That’s the last thing you want to flaunt this summer, especially when the little pustules pop up on you derriere! Don’t fret, the Fanny Facial, the must-have spa treatment this season, is exfoliating, softening, cleansing, and calming beach bums at spas across the country.
Melissa Tara, owner of Moss Spa and Yoga in Long Island, New York, felt that her fanny facial, the Moon Glow Facial, was a natural step in the evolution of the spa menu. Savvy spa-goers these days want every part of their body to look and feel spectacular, including those that are often kept hidden from the public eye. The fanny facial is designed to positively change the way spa-goers view their rears and make them proud to strut their stuff, “Similar to a traditional facial that you might have done to your other cheeks” Tara says that “As with a regular facial, exfoliation, cleansing, and masks are important to keep skin looking best. The fanny facial applies the same principles as an ordinary facial but takes them one step further by adding massage to stimulate circulation and reduce cellulite for a firmer rear.”
Here are a few more derriere treatments near you:
Susurrus Spa in Poets Cove Resort & Spa on Pender Island, British Columbia, is dedicated to buffing your derriere. Their Fanny Facial will make your rear appear smoother and firmer by exfoliating and stimulating the skin to encourage cell turnover, followed by the application of a healing, nourishing and oxygenating mask, and finally a wrap “allowing the nutrients to soak in. Stretch marks are minimized, scars are faded, and clogged pores are purified to bikini-ready perfection. www.poetscove.com.
Smooth Synergy in Manhattan, New York, is also making their guests booty-licious with a three-step butt-buffing treatment that includes an exfoliation, microcurrent pulsing (said to tone, tighten, and minimize cellulite), and finally an organic spray tan made from mineral salt bronzers and vegetable derivatives to make your cheeks appear sun-kissed. www.smoothsynergy.com.
