The first word that comes to mind when I think about RE-Gen Beach: fresh. As soon as you step onto the property (see my post on cute protective boots), you’ll immediately feel why a day pass costs so much. You won’t find anything this strong in a city spa—it’s too potent to export! (It literally melts the containers!)

Start at the main resort building. The air is a little gentler there because it’s the furthest from the actual meltdown site, and when you’re aiming for a natural chemical peel, you want to ease into it and let the air slowly break down the outer layers. You will feel a little stinging to be honest, and definitely bring an umbrella because the sun will feel extra strong as the old skin melts off.

If you take the walkway, you’ll see venders who sell local oranges. Buy them! The oranges are infused with the chemicals and will give your colon a good cleansing. My advice: choose the vendors with the most deteriorated features. True locals will be missing all or part of their noses, and they sell authentic fruit (see my post on scammers).

I don’t recommend that first timers go off the walkway because you don’t want to trip, but if you’re a returning visitor, it’s worth seeing the foundations. People scratched messages as the disaster struck. My favorite: “I reach for you, but time has ended.” And at Re-GEN, time can end for your skin, too!
