6 Editor-Approved Facials To Get In NYC — All Under $100

We've gotten plenty of advice, some better than others, on our quest for clear, healthy skin: Cut out alcohol, add a monthly facial to your routine, stop eating cheese with every meal. Only one of those options is particularly appealing — and you can probably guess which.

But while the idea of a monthly facial to maintain a youthful glow and make our acne disappear sounds sexy, it's a lot more complicated — and expensive — than it seems. In some spas, an hour-long facial service can cost you at least $200, and that doesn't include a tip or potential product add-ons. Sometimes it feels like an ultimatum: Multiple bottomless brunch dates with your girls... or a facial? A heftier payment on that outstanding credit card balance... or a facial?

The reality is, skin care is an investment, but it shouldn't have to require tremendous sacrifice. If you've been shopping around for an effective facial that won't drain your checking account, we tested the ones that are actually worth it in New York City — all under $100, ahead.
