Description
Just steps from the 7 train, Pure’s sleek glass storefront stands out on a bustling stretch of Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside. Walk through the lobby and you’ll find yourself in a 5,000-square-foot retreat. The spa is blissfully quiet, with only the soft sounds of trancelike music and a recording of crashing ocean waves. I opted for the Pure signature facial ($120), an intensive 90-minute affair that began after I donned a towel-like top and lay down on a bed in a candlelit room. Each facial is customized to the client’s skin type, using Dermalogica, a fragrance-free line that’s known to treat skin gently. My treatment had four main components: a light extraction, a soothing oatmeal mask, a collagen-producing multivitamin peel whose ingredients include hydroxy acids and vitamins C and E (less abrasive than a glycolic-acid peel) and an oxygen serum that purportedly brightens the skin and makes it glow. At the end of the process, my aesthetician showed me a chart detailing my trouble areas (a breakout-prone T-zone and chin) and told me about blemish-clearing products. Four days later, my skin was more evenly toned—but I did notice a bit of flakiness resulting from the peel, a small price for beauty.—Leslie Price
