In the world of beauty, cold weather often means dry skin, chapped lips and letting your legs go a little too long without a shave. But with many local spas offering December deals and discounts, there's no excuse for even remotely resembling the Abominable Snowman.
If you're craving a martini and a microdermabrasion treatment, schedule an appointment at Bellevue's Herban Therapies Spa [0] during the Dec. 13 Martini Mini Spa Party [0]. With discounted products, apparel and gift certificates, you can even squeeze in some holiday shopping.
You can find relief from the cold -- and midweek deals -- at Banya 5 [0] in South Lake Union. Through Dec. 27, the Russian-inspired bathhouse is offering 25 percent off any service scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
If you're in need of a brief but meaningful respite from shopping, stop by The Spaahh at Hotel 1000 [0] downtown for a happy-hour spa treatment [0] (express facial, manicure, pedicure, brow wax or aroma back relief) between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Hold onto your spa receipt and redeem it for a glass of champagne and a tasty bite to eat during Boka Kitchen + Bar [0]'s happy hour. The offer is good through Dec. 27.
For a great deal on facials and waxing, head to Helle [0] in Georgetown. The funky but friendly spa is offering $15 off on facials and 10 percent off on all waxing services until Jan. 1.
