Beauty Fix
What better reason to skip town for the weekend than for some serious beautifying? After the noninvasive cosmetic procedures at Refined Skin, you’ll return to the city looking rested, relaxed, and maybe even a little younger. Located in the St. James Hotel shopping court, this “medispa” provides complete skin and body care, including Fotona laser services, Vitalize chemical peels, and Botox and Juvéderm, as well as facials and massages. 406 Main St., 651-388-9855
For full-body pampering, head to Body Kneads Massage & Wellness. Services include massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, and facials. Book an appointment for reiki, a treatment that “balances the body’s physical, spiritual, and emotional energy fields” through the placement of the practitioner’s hands. If your tastes are more conventional, try a Swedish massage, which releases physical tension and increases mental relaxation. 316 Bush St., 651-267-0118
