A facial treatment with Nichola Joss (left) at London’s Sanctuary
Spa (
sanctuary.com) is a memorable experience. Her technique is like
shiatsu for the face: She digs her thumbs into your cheekbones inside
and out to get muscles moving. It hurts, but I did look more chiseled
afterward, and there was no bruising. She also works her magic on arms,
legs, and abs—that’s why Hilary Swank, Keira Knightley, and
Tilda Swinton rely on Joss’s diligent digits to whip them into
red-carpet-ready shape.
