Spa Treatment Options For Relaxation And Rejuvenation

You may have heard friends and family talk about making an appointment at the spa, but what are they really having done there? If you have never been, this is the perfect time for you to decide what type of treatments you might be interested in. One of the best parts of this type of business is that there truly is something for everyone.

Pedicures and Manicures

If you have never been to the spa you may want to start with something simple. A manicure involves trimming fingernails, removing excess cuticle, and adding nail polish (with color or just a clear top coat). It usually includes some type of massage your hands, fingers and wrists. While this is relaxing it can also make you feel confident as you slip your rings back on your fingers and put your watch back on.

A pedicure is the same thing for your feet. You can sit back as your feet soak in warm water, preparing them for the cleaning, callous removal and eventually polish being added to your toenails. You might find that more of your friends are headed to the spa for a pedicure in the summertime when everyone is wearing flip flops and sandals.

Facials

When you get a facial you get more of a spa experience than just a pedicure or manicure. Once you enter the room you may notice the dim lighting, relaxing music, and comfortable place to lay down. Once you enter you are given some privacy to change into a robe. Lay back on the table and cover up with the sheet provided. Now, an esthetician comes in to begin the process of cleaning your face. There are several different steps that she will go through until your face is a clean palette once again. You'll notice that your pores are cleaned out, any blemishes may be on their way to clearing up and your face will look and feel clean.

Massage

For a massage you will enter a room just like the one used for a facial. Most of the time you will need to undress down to your underwear and slide under the sheet, lying face down. During a massage you will feel tension removed from your muscles and body with the motions of the therapist. The pressure can vary from treatment to treatment. Some are a little more thorough and you may even be a little sore the next day. However, many of those points of stress in your back and neck that bothered you before will be gone. When you make this appointment at the spa you can mention what type of massage you are looking for or just talk to the therapist when you arrive.

Even if you have never had a pedicure, manicure, facial, or massage, take the plunge and try something new. You'll find that this is the perfect way to treat yourself on a special occasion or for absolutely no reason at all. If you go in for one treatment and enjoy it, be sure to book an appointment for something new for the next visit.
