It’s become a bit of an annual tradition for my mom and me to visit Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, to celebrate her birthday and mark the end of summer. This time around, I had the immense pleasure of visiting the hotel’s Ocean & Harvest Spa, which is just as warm and inviting as its name implies. The space spans 12,000 square feet, but feels more like a home—albeit one that has a light-filled relaxation lounge with ocean views. The Glow Up Facial—which incorporates a brightening vitamin C treatment—is the perfect post-summer skin reset.

The minute the dry air creeps in at the beginning of fall, I know it’s time to book a facial. For my fellow dry skin ladies, look no further than my new favorite spa in New York City, the Guerlain Spa. You feel pampered from the moment you step through the front door (it’s inside the Waldorf Astoria, after all) to the moment you grab a car home. The bright and airy space can suck you in to relax for hours. I opt for the sauna or steam rooms, spending most of my time lounging on the Moroccan hammam. There’s also a “snow cave” for cold-therapy experiences, which I am simply not brave enough to try. What can I say? I want to be warm and pampered, not cold, no matter the health benefits that come from it. For treatments, there’s nothing like the Golden Hour facial, which will leave you glowing, hydrated, and without a spec of dryness to be found.
