The Splurge: The Mall Recovery Massage

You racked up thousands of shopping steps on your Fitbit during the holiday season. Put it all in your rearview with this aptly-named massage featuring cooling spearmint and therapeutic rosemary. The 80-minute treatment includes exfoliation, a full body massage and foot reflexology. // $215; 1700 Tysons Blvd., McLean; 703-744-3924

The Splurge: Oxygen Infusion Treatment

Prep your skin for winter with this add-on infusion, which pairs well with the iconic salon’s classic facial—featuring an organic flower peel microdermabrasion and a face, arm and hand massage. The Oxygen Infusion uses natural minerals to replenish moisture—so your skin can stand up to the season. // 80-minute facial, $230, Oxygen Infusion, $75; Fairfax Corner, Tysons Corner, Reston and Pentagon Row; thereddoor.com

The Splurge: Collagen Peptide Facial

If amping up your skincare routine is on your New Year’s resolution list, this facial will help get you to your goal. The powerhouse facial—that includes a gentle chemical peel and extractions—does it all: boosts collagen, brightens dullness, resurfaces and hydrates skin. It may sound intimidating, but the Old Town spa’s aestheticians assure us the treatment includes plenty of pampering as well. // 60 minutes, $202; 111 N. Alfred St., Alexandria; 703-549-9940

The Splurge: Minérale Botanical Renewal Experience

New year, new you, right? This enveloping treatment mixes mineral salts, aromatic essential oils and steaming towels for a full-body exfoliation, followed by a hot stone massage and then some down time wrapped up in cozy linens. A scalp and hair treatment and a rosemary foot massage round out the ultra relaxing offering. // 110 minutes, $310; 44050 Woodbridge Parkway, Leesburg; 703-729-4036
