Tucked away along the bustling streets of Union Square One in New York City is a brightly lit, safe haven: the Rescue Spa (opens in new tab). The upscale, chic, and spacious waiting room is inviting and instantly makes you feel meditative each time you enter. Dressed in a toweling robe and sipping detoxifying lemon-lime water, you give your skin the ultimate TLC. Too bad I can't move in.

There's a reason this renowned spa is a favorite of skin lovers, celebrities, and beauty editors. It's not just because the lighting at Rescue Spa is amazing. It's not just because the lighting at Rescue Spa is fabulous. Mierock writes on her website, "What motivates and drives me is to see the serious changes we can help people achieve." I have been told that my life is better because of the significant improvement in my skin." I will never forget those words. But be prepared to pay for the results: facials range from $150 to $500, depending on the treatment.

It's not just skin that Rescue Spa is generous with. There are manicure stations, a hair salon, and a massage area. Naturally, the facials use top-of-the-line products to address any skin emergencies. The popular French skincare brand Biologique Recherche (opens in new tab) and its prized product, P50 (opens in new tab), is a must-visit for its exclusivity (the products are incredibly hard to purchase) as well as its skin-transforming powers (it helps with acne, lightens blemishes, evens skin tone even out skin tone, restore dullness, etc.) is the centerpiece of the Rescue Spa. You can choose between the Classic Facial or the Biologique Recherche, but I highly recommend the latter. The reason...

First, the facial room is very serene. I literally sink into the heated bed and feel zen all the time upon contact. During my recent "Le Lift Parisienne" treatment at Biologique Recherche, the esthetician first checked my skin. I was suffering from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and hormonal acne and was overdue for a deep cleaning. Using the full range of Biologique Recherche products, she cleansed, steamed, toned, extracted, balanced, and massaged, and used LED light therapy and micro-current to soothe and nourish the skin cells. (Disclaimer: Products have a distinctive smell, a bit harsh but quickly dissipates).

After a blissful 45 minutes, I looked in the mirror and felt ultimate satisfaction. My stressed, tired skin has a glow that seems to last for days. The baby-smooth texture is also something I savor.

The entire experience, from the atmosphere of the store to the facial itself, is like taking my skin and senses on the most luxurious vacation. Whether you are a New Yorker with free time in your busy schedule or a business trip to the City coming up, make an appointment. Once you experience it, you will be captivated by its charm.
