Spas offer the perfect opportunity for those with stressful lifestyles, which is everyone, a way to refresh and feel ready to face the future. When one feels overwhelmed and not quite like themselves, the answer is often to book spas where they can enjoy massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and a variety of other popular treatments that will renew them from head to toe.

Anyone planning a day spa or vacation should consider one or more of the following hot treatments this year.

Facial treatments with vitamin C

A vitamin C-based facial is great for tightening and hydrating the skin using pharmaceutical-grade products that also exfoliate and smooth the skin. It works on even the most sensitive skin and renews cells for brighter, firmer-than-ever skin with a youthful glow.

The process at many spas typically includes a thorough cleansing and rinsing, the application of a high-quality mask or two, and then a thorough moisturizing with a product containing vitamin C.

Mineral Body Treatment

This treatment includes a nice long soak in a hot mineral bath. Many tourist resorts offer access to natural springs, which is a great start. The skin is then exfoliated with a product that will leave the skin silky smooth to the touch. Finally, a warm cream massage is performed which contains more natural minerals, leaving the recipient feeling energized and of course pain free.

Mineral treatments have been used for centuries to relieve joint and muscle pain. See what a mineral body treatment can do for a stressed body in need of extreme recovery.

Oil and salt scrub

This treatment uses Dead Sea salts for a complete exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and the application of the ever popular essential oils. In some cases, spas carefully combine salts with oils, but either way it’s a treatment not to be missed.

As the oils penetrate to restore vitality and eliminate dryness, an added benefit that will be experienced is the stimulation of the lymphatic system through the accompanying gentle massage. It stimulates circulation and the drainage of toxins from the body while softening the skin.

hydrotherapy

Soak in a bubbly bath infused with essential oils or various antioxidant and anti-aging products, depending on what you’re looking for. Underwater jets have been shown to reduce the appearance of cellulite and relieve tired, sore muscles.

Plain water is one of the best ways to revitalize yourself after a long week at work or a stressful situation. Regular soaking is recommended and produces amazing results not only in the realm of skin care, but also in mental health.

holistic facials

Expect a facial evaluation where the holistic therapist will determine a personalized experience that best suits your skin type and needs. The steps generally include:

• A moisturizing cleanser
• refreshing tonic
• Exfoliation
• A moisturizing or firming mask
• Facial massage
• eye cream application

Spas often combine this service with makeup application for a fun night out, but the natural beauty left behind after this treatment doesn’t even need makeup, really. The choice is up to the clients if they want to include that service or not. Regardless, having a facial tailored to your specific skin needs is a treat not to be missed.

enveloping massage

As an ancient method, wrap massage has been around for centuries, but lately it is gaining popularity. These are spas that provide a hot wrap of some kind that is placed on any areas of tension or pain. The specialist then proceeds to massage the wraps for maximum relief.

Circulation is increased for additional health benefits, and the recipient feels nourished and cared for as it deserves, giving it a feeling of freshness. Various herbs and grains can be used in conjunction with the wraps.

Finding the best spas that offer these treatments and more will ensure that one feels much better to face each day.
