A spa day is a luxurious treat that can help leave you feeling rejuvenated in both body and mind. If you have a trip coming up, you may like to learn more about the treatments available to decide which ones would most benefit you. If you have any allergies or health concerns, it is important to tell the spa in advance. These do not usually prevent you going, but will allow the spa to make sure the treatments are safe and beneficial.
Massages
Massages are treatments found in most spas, from a spa hotel in Chester to wellness centres across the country. However, the term is a broad one, with several types of massage often available. A deep tissue massage involves firm pressure all over the body, while other massages may use essential oils or hot stones. You can also get speciality massages designed for different types of people, such as athletes or pregnant women.
Facials
Another treatment you may like to try while staying at a spa hotel Chester is a facial. As with massages, there are several different types of facial, and you should discuss with the spa which one is best for your skin concern. A classic facial will target spots and blemishes for a clearer complexion, while those who want a brighter, more youthful glow may choose a facial that involves microdermabrasion or chemical peels and masks. If your face is puffy, a lymphatic facial may help. Very often facials will involve more than one treatment and can also include facial and head massages.
Body Therapy
Body therapy involves full body treatments usually designed to hydrate or detoxify the skin. They often begin with a total body exfoliation using salt or sugar to slough off dead skin cells. After this is showered off, the therapist may apply mud, clay, cream or seaweed while massaging the body.
As well as providing treatments like massages, facials and body therapy, the therapists will also advise you on products and treatments that you can use at home to prolong the benefits of the spa.
