Even the Ancient Romans had day spas. But there’s something pretty wonderful about getting away, leaving It All behind, and spending a few days or a week or so being pampered at a Destination Spa Resort. Maybe you’ve been; maybe you’ve never been. Fact is, can’t put a price on taking time to take care of your body. We profile a few and list several. All specialize in skincare and are worth a trip. After all, beautiful skin is priceless.
