Nourish winter-worn skin with today's Groupon. For $75, you'll get a 90-minute Korean spa ritual at Sabai Body Temple, one of the city's best spas according to Citysearchers, who voted it Best Minneapolis Massage in 2009. The hour-and-a-half experience will cleanse, stimulate, restore, and renew seasonally parched skin.

Sip on sparkling water, juice, or gourmet tea and snack on fresh, seasonal fruit before being whisked away to the traditional Korean treatment. Bathed in soft candle light, you'll step into a steamy, well-scented shower. Next, you'll snuggle into a warm table and receive an exfoliating massage, tempered with moisturizing milk and honey, and a Mugwort wash to awaken the lymph system. The ritual continues with a softening process of a silky body shampoo, heated eye-mask treatment, and application of glossy body oil. All products used are organic or natural to make your body feel like it was soothed by the slightly muscular arms of Mother Earth. Owner Jessika Bicknell is a graduate from the University of Chiang Mai in Thailand and a certified practitioner and instructor of traditional Thai massage.

The winter is the cruelest time on the body. Unkindly wind gusts chap faces, and scratchy sweaters and scarves irritate skin. This treatment will restore skin back to its soft, summertime state. Round up friends for "social spa-ing" and reconnect instead of just relaxing. Book appointments online for stress-free scheduling that you can do while surfing the Internet in the shower.
