Get your face and bod in tip-top shape with a handful of new skin-care shops—just in time for summer. By Morgan Olsen


Lush


The bath-bomb emporium shuttered its Macy’s Water Tower location and unveiled something better: a 2,200-square-foot flagship store just down the street. The new storefront offers all the usual suspects— bubble bars, body butters and hair products—but the main attraction is the one-on-one consultation area, where customers can chat with staff about personalized solutions for skin and hair ruts.  744 N Michigan Ave (312-951-0246, lushussa.com)


Oars + Alps You’ll only find these premium


await in a colorful explosion of furniture, rugs, jewelry and giftworthy goodies. Give yourself ample time there before heading to Adams & Son Gardens (1057 N California Ave; 773-235-0991, adamsandsongardens .com), a.k.a. plant heaven, complete with a knowledgeable and approachable staff. Your quest ends with a house-made soda and a slice of pie at Spinning J (1000 N California Ave; 872-829-2793, spinningj.com).  West Augusta Blvd to W DivisionSt

This Fulton Market mask bar encourages guests to play with their


men’s skin-care goodies online, but rest assured, you’re still shopping local. Chicagoans Mia Duchnowski and Laura Cox founded the brand with the hope of nailing down formulas to serve active men. The core line offers three products: solid face wash ($14), face and eye cream ($18) and natural deodorant ($12). Plus, there’s an auto-refill program available for especially busy dudes.  oarsandalps.com


Scratch Goods


food—food-grade skin care, that is. Beyond selling a wide range of natural, affordable products (think oils, scrubs, shampoo and butters), the shop boasts a hands-on mask bar ($32–$52). Guests can mix their own masks with ingredients like Dark Matter Coffee grounds, apply lash and brow oil treatments, enjoy a relaxing Epsom- salt foot soak and more. Parties for groups of six or more are also available and are BYOB.  1046 W Fulton Market (773-857-3551, scratchgoods.com)
