Escape to a restorative sanctuary, where your cares and troubles will fade like the knots in your shoulders, the tense muscles in your cheeks. At The Skin & Body Bar, let the fragrant aroma of eucalyptus, natural herbs and essential oils relieve your senses of the stresses you carry. Owned and operated by massage therapist, esthetician and brow artist Ileana Buckmaster-Mann, this heavenly oasis specializes in thorough and professional massage therapy and skincare.

Experience the magical wonders of highly trained experts as their fingertips dance across your skin, alleviating pain and leaving you absolutely rejuvenated, from the choice of a deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, aromatherapy massage, Swedish massage, and pregnancy massage for expectant mothers, and more. The Swedish massage aids in circulation and diminishing of tension, starting from the scalp all the way down to the toes. Keep that pretty face healthy and radiant with one of the many provided facials and peels, from an eye contour treatment and European cupping facial, to wrinkle repair treatment, a natural facelift, or even an express facial, for that quick refresher among a hectic schedule.

The spa also supplies its own line of clinical and dermatologist tested skin care products, called Naturopathica, crafted with completely natural and organic ingredients such as aloe vera, L-Absorbic acids, peptides and plant stem cells, friendly to sensitive, aging and weakened skin all alike. Pay a visit to the spa/shop next time you find yourself in need of some serious relaxation, as well as skin and soul repair. The Skin & Body Bar recently moved to its new location this past June:
