Refreshed, for Free, at Clarins

Clarins is offering a must-try freebie. Within its SoHo location, Clarins has opened a cozy private space where it is offering complimentary 20-minute spa treatments. The goal is to introduce clients to the spa services available at its Upper East Side and Upper West Side locations.
The four treatments to choose from are the Cleanse and Revive Facial (with no extractions), the Scalp, Neck & Shoulders Soother (a deep-tissue massage), the Purify Back Treatment (with a customized blend of botanicals, oils, and creams), and the Aromatic Hand Treatment (with the scents of geranium and chamomile). The treatments are streamlined versions of the full services available uptown.
Even in its shortened form, the Clarins facial is a refreshing boost. The brand’s serums and creams can leave you feeling and looking like you’ve never spent a minute in the sun. While the treatment room is small and the boutique’s traffic is just on the other side of a smoked -glass panel, the price is right.
By appointment only at Clarins Skin SpA, 146 Spring St. at Wooster Street, 212-343-0109.
