subject: Pampering Yourself At A Day Spa [print this page] Some days I sometimes feel that I need a day to just pamper myself. You know what I'm talking about, ladies? Going to a day spa can be just what the doctor ordered. Here are my favorite spa treatments, in no particular order.
The Massage - Massages are one of the most amazing things in the world. They are found in almost every spa in the world, and the reason is because they are very effective in easing stress. They are relaxing and almost everyone loves how it makes them feel.
There are many types of massages that people can choose to do. They can relieve physical ailments or problems as well. When a massage is done right, your body can get detoxified and rejuvenated.
The Facial - Facials are another popular treatment that I recommend. Steam is used, peels, masks, and lotions are used to rejuvenate your face and give your skin a healthy glow. There are specialized facials as well that can help with specific skin conditions, such as treating acne or dead skin.
The Body Wrap - The body wrap works great with detoxifying your body. You simply wrap your body in a natural substance to detoxify your body. These natural substances vary from spa to spa, but seaweed is always a popular choice.
Aromatherapy - Aromatherapy is becoming more and more popular in spas. It is an effective treatment with soothing and aiding the body. It can be used as part of the massage, or essential oils can be added to damp towels and wrapped around the body.
Microdermabrasion - This is a new treatment I have discovered. Basically, the treatment removed the top, outermost layer of your dead skin so your skin has a chance to rejuvenate and breathe. Old skin makes it hard for newer skin to breathe. It is important to remove old skin so you can have healthy, glowing skin.
While all of these treatments are fabulous, they can get quite expensive. If you need a quick pick-me-up consider doing your own homemade spa. Soap making is one way to create soap that is gentle on your skin. Soap making also allows you to have creativity with your own soap that also exfoliates. Soap making also gives you the opportunity to find natural, organic ingredients that are safe for your skin.
