The Art of Self-care: 6 Compelling Reasons to Make Spa Visits Regular.
Self care probably means different things to different people but one thing we can all agree on is that we need to engage more in some sort of self care. It could be as simple as having a quiet time to making spa visits a ritual. Personally if there is one thing I love is serenity but you know how adulthood gets sometimes. So why should you make spa visits a regular as your form of self care?
1. Reduces stress levels: We get so busy with our daily activities and this could get us stressed. The spa environment itself is already calming, the aesthetics, the music, the hospitable estheticians, the flow of activities all of that sends the stress out through the window. After an hour or 2 in this environment your mood will be elevated. Treatments such as massage, medical facial, aromatherapy, water treatments are very relaxing and will contribute to mental and physical relaxation.
2. Establish the right routine for you: As you make regular visits there is a meticulous follow up and your esthetician with you can identify what is working, what needs to be added. Together you will be able to set the right routine with the right products. Remember you home routine counts for about 70% of the skin results you are envisaging.
3. Healthier and more youthful skin: While your home regimen counts for 70% of the results, visiting the spa will account for 30%. Advanced tools, techniques and medical grade products and with this you can realize quick results. Treatments such chemical peels, laser treatment, microdermabrasion combined with medical grade products will help maintain a healthy skin.
4. Quality sleep: During facials I have had clients doze off and after waking up acknowledge it’s the best sleep they have had in a while. I would also imagine after relaxing the muscles coupled with an elevated mood you will be having good night sleep as well.
5. Detoxification and skin health. Spa treatments like water/thermal experience, body wraps, body scrubs, massages contributes in detoxification and can aid the body in its natural cleansing process.
6. Physical health benefits: Massages and spa treatments help release muscle tension which impact posture and overall physical well being. This will also enhance blood circulation which is beneficial to your cardiovascular health and skin vitality.
