The founder of Rescue Spa is a longtime fixture on Philly’s beauty scene, but now after fielding desperate pleas from our neighbors up north, she’s expanding beyond her Rittenhouse outpost with an NYC location, slated to open later this summer. Here, she shares her skin-care secrets and everything on her radar.
