Everyone needs a moment to just kick back and relax and not think about the countless tasks that fill up their personal and professional lives. What better way to hit the pause button than by indulging in a bit of pampering?

Connecticut is the perfect place to find a host of venues that offer individual services or full packages to help you relax and rejuvenate.

Home Salon & Spa, Groton

At the Groton-based Home Salon & Spa, an hour is all that it takes to de-stress your body. Using organic French lavender, lavandin, and clary sage, your masseuse will incorporate the techniques of Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, and foot reflexology in the Stress-Fix Body Massage.

These harsh winter months can wreak havoc on your skin. To give your dermis the love it deserves, try the Dual Exfoliation Peel, which “combines Aveda’s naturally derived mechanical and biochemical exfoliation methods” to give your skin a lift. This non-invasive treatment will improve your skin’s texture and appearance, and leave you feeling refreshed.

The massage is $65; the exfoliation peel is $80. homesalonandspa.com/
