November issue, 2008 24 Hours, Vancouver "Ace of Face Two hours may seem a long time for a facial. But when you're getting foot and hand massages, time has no meaning. Located in the heart of Vancouver's downtown rat race, Breathe Spa offers a sanctuary for busy nine-to-fivers looking for a little skin refresher. With every Breathe Spa Facial ($120), "beauty therapist" Victoria Carr goes a long way beyond just deep cleansing and moisturizing. In fact, she does it all. Between her neck rubdowns and treatment masks, she pretty much had me in a blissful state the whole time. That is until she started the extraction procedure (college speak for squeezing the hell out of blackheads). But this pamper damper only lasted five minutes and then she was back to rocking me into a tranquil, stress-free coma. More importantly, when I left, my skin looked great. Botox doesn't hold a candle to this facial" March 25th, 2008 To view the original article, please click here. Vitamin V.ca "Sorry Howe Street socialites: your skin secret is out.
