Do you suffer from bodily aches and pains? Perhaps your anxiety levels have hit an all time high? Have you considered that maybe your body is telling you something? As busy as we all are, our physical and emotional well being often gets put on the back burner and ultimately we pay the consequence with ill health. If this sounds like you then perhaps you should consider visiting a day spa. These salons offer a variety of treatments that will give your body and mind some much needed therapy. Check out the list below for the most popular.
1. Body Wraps - If you're looking to tighten and tone your body, lose unwanted inches and have glowing skin, then a body wrap is what you need. Wraps are available as a kit for home use or offered at day spas. There are many treatments to chose from such as herbal wraps, sea weed, algae, sea clay and dry mineral wraps. Most applications are administered by wrapping the body in towels or elastic cotton gauze which remain for an hour. Once the treatment is done, a body lotion is applied.
2. Exfoliating Treatments - Imagine having your body rubbed down with coffee grounds or even rice, yes, you heard that right. These ingredients are the main components of body polishes which strip your body of dead skin cells, much like a salt (sea salt and essential oils) or sugar scrub, except much coarser. Exfoliating treatments are usually followed by a moisturizer, leaving your skin youthful and satiny to the touch.
3. Facials - Most day spas offer a variety of facials. This is necessary to meet each client's individual skin care needs. Steam is often used to open the pores and offers deep cleaning, removing dirt and even black heads. You can opt to have floral herbs or essential oils added to the steam water. Other choices for facials include massages which promote blood circulation while a face mask detoxifies the skin. Whichever treatment you choose, your face will glow.
4. Massages - If you're looking for ultimate relaxation, then a massage is the way to go. Not only is it deeply satisfying but it also targets sore muscles. Massages come in all shapes and forms. The most popular is the Swedish massage which uses various techniques such as kneading, tapping and gliding strokes. It's also the backbone for many other forms of massages like seaweed, aromatherapy and hot stone massage. However you take your massage, it will leave you feeling refreshed and physically relaxed.
The above list of spa treatments make up only a tiny percentage of what salons offer, many have unique and original therapies that are only available through them. Visit your local day spa and enjoy a pampering massage, a revitalizing salt scrub or an herbal facial, you owe it to yourself some of life's little luxuries. - 16004
