If you told me a couple of months ago that the only option to get a facial today would be the DIY option, I would have laughed in your face. (Now I can’t even see your face in person.) Before the Corona lockdown, Felicia and I were planning a trip to Mario Badescu to get facials with four girlfriends. Now, with social distancing, everything is virtual.
