Feeling stressed from shopping at crowded stores, driving through packed parking lots and attending one too many family get-togethers over the holidays? Then unwind at one of five heavenly day spas that are offering a discount or free service this month to members of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.
The Body Bar Salon & Day Spa is ready to meet your personal needs with its extensive menu of services, which includes hair care, facials, pedicures, body treatments and massages.
Owner Gina Del Bene suggests you allow The Body Bar to take you away to a place of peaceful relaxation with The Body Bar Signature Facial. Your skin will glow from a gentle professional peel, your body will melt from the incorporation of warm stone therapy and your mind will take a journey with the scent of fragrant aromatherapy essential oils.
The 75-minute facial is $95. Those looking to renew their skin can request a microdermabrasion treatment instead of the peel for a total of $225.
The Body Bar, located at 785 Grand Ave., Suite 102 in Carlsbad, is offering a free eyebrow wax and 10 percent off of any treatment this month to chamber members. For more information, call (760) 729-4945 or visit www.thebodybarsalonanddayspa.com

The spa provides a haven where those seeking to escape stress experience nurturing of mind, body and spirit.
Its menu includes numerous massages, body therapies, facials and aesthetic treatments. Founder and CEO Joyce Carboni suggests trying the spa's newest treatment, the Japanese Red Flower Ritual.
It begins with a mimosa sea algae wash, followed by a gentle exfoliation of ginger grass bamboo scrub and then a wild cherry blossom rice buff is used to nourish and soften. A shiatsu-inspired massage follows, using wild lime silk oil and plum blossom silk cream. The treatment concludes with a mint mineral bath soak in a soothing hydrotherapy tub. The 110-minute service is $225.
This month, Skinsational, located at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 124 in Carlsbad, is offering chamber members $15 off of any facial, body treatment or massage that is at least 50 minutes long. For more information, call (760) 434-8118 or visit www.skinsationalspa.com.
At Skin Trade, Barbara Galagusz welcomes you into an intimate environment where your skin will receive personal undivided attention from a registered nurse.
Skin Trade offers facials and full-body waxing for men and women. Galagusz specializes in providing services to the growing population of men who want treatments and waxing. One service that is sure to please is the Skin Trade Signature Facial. During this Cadillac of facials, a double exfoliation enhances skin tone and texture and special attention is given to the eye area to remove excess fluid and reduce puffiness, which is followed by a soothing eye mask.
Cucumber slices are applied to the eyes during extractions and a face, neck, shoulder and scalp massage with essential oils relaxes and balances the skin. A facial treatment mask hydrates while it repairs and nourishes. The service is finalized with a nutrient-rich moisturizer. The 80-minute facial is $95.
