What Dove knows best is skin and they flaunt their prowess by conducting a fifteen minute skin diagnostics test before any facial. The various, non-invasive wands measure oil, water, elasticity and pigmentation levels in your skin. Your Signature Facial ($70, 45mins; $90, 60mins) is then tailored to your skin’s current needs –brightening, oil control, deep hydration, barrier repair, you name it –using Dove’s spa grade facial cleansers, masks and serums coupled with muscle firming, healing and toning hi-tech tools. Case in point: The chromotherapy wand emits an unharmful red light and micro-current to stimulate collagen production and help plump out and soften lines and wrinkles. Add on a treat while you’re waiting for your customized mask to work its magic –the head and scalp massage is any stress-riddled gal’s must try (my facialist literally smoothed away weeks of knotted masses at the top of my neck).

But the best part about the spa -besides the glowing complexion you’re left with –is the customizable music panel. Want to drift away to soothing spa sounds or do crooning jazz ballads or Top 40 hits seem more entertaining? Find your poison and push the button; the room is your ipod.
