Face Time

Face it. Summer's over.
As Seen On Daily Candy New York

You did your damage. (And man, was it fun!) You maxxed out the Visa. Mistakenly plowed the geraniums in neighbor's driveway. (Thankfully, it was not Martha Stewart's.) Ruined three relationships over who got what weekend in the share house. (But look how tan you are now!)

But what did you do to that face of yours? Didn't anyone ever tell you to use sunblock?

Time to make amends. Time to gear up for fall's oh-so-heavy social calendar. Time to make that precious no-longer-tan mug of yours presentable.

Scoop is that Diane Higgins is the town's best kept secret. Don't be put off by the timewarp interior, which hasn't been renovated since the forties. We dig it. Her Phyto-Oxygen Facial saves a complexion marred by a summer of romping in the sea (oh! You got your hair wet! Good for you!) Her masks are delish spiked with geranium, lavender, and rosemary. Her September special includes an hour-and-fi fteen-minute facial, shoulder massage, and a personalized moisturizer. Tab total: $88.

Make an appointment before prices go up in October. Who knows what trouble you'll have caused by then
