CALGARY

XO Treatment Room

Facialist Annie Graham devises brilliant custom facials from her downtown-Calgary

studio. While you’re there, pick up XO Facecare Lunar Veil, a deeply hydrating over-

night treatment mask we love to wear on flights. (It sinks in seamlessly, so no one will

know you have it on.) Follow her on Instagram (@xotreatmentroom) for her smart

stories about common skincare concerns. 

LONDON,

ENGLAND

Dr. Michael Prager Skincare Clinic^

Patients flock to Dr. Michael Prager for his astute use

of Botox (he estimates that he is the top administrator

of the neuromodulator in Europe), but don’t miss out

on the topical treatments. Make a beeline for the Urban

Protect Gold Detox Facial at his new Knightsbridge

clinic (which has the warm aesthetic of a family mem-

ber’s well-appointed home), just a stone’s throw from

Harrods. It starts with a hydrofacial (feels like a gen-

tle microdermabrasion but with powerful streams of

water) to clean out pores, which is followed by LED

light therapy and a glorious facial massage using prod-

ucts from the hyper-edited new Prager Skincare line.

There’s zero downtime, so you can peel your glow-

ing self off the treatment bed and walk directly up the

block to bask in designer goods.
