Insanely Soft Skin the Korean Way
A Korean spa isn't exactly relaxing, but you will walk away with the softest skin of your life. The process involves stripping down and letting a Korean lady slough off a couple layers of your skin with a rough mitt. It's a little unpleasant, but by the time you're done, layers of dead skin will be stripped away, revealing brighter, softer, baby-like skin underneath. Koreans visit them weekly, and have been for generations.

Try This: MicrodermaMitt Body Mitt, $29.95. Duplicate the spa experience (minus the nudist colony feel) with this hard-working washcloth. Made of all-natural floss silk, this body mitt will buff away dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs.

A Detox Straight From the Holy Land
The Dead Sea in Israel contains legendarily restorative waters. Due to the high salt content, the mud is rich in minerals that, when applied, draw out contaminants and impurities and absorb excess oil. Cleopatra made the pilgrimage to the therapeutic sea centuries ago, and people from all over the world have been following in her footsteps ever since.

Try This: AHAVA Natural Dead Sea Body Mud, $16. This mud, straight from the Dead Sea, is supercharged with magnesium, calcium, potassium and iron to even out skin tone and increase circulation.
