With the way we work today, it is no wonder that stress management is always a big issue among the workforce. And more people are getting some day spa services to relieve any stress from their bodies, making them relaxed and ready to face another day’s work.
With the sprouting of so many types of spas across the country, day spas still remain to be the most popular form. For one, it is the more convenient place to go when you want a complete day spa package which includes a massage, a facial, and a body treatment. And it is called as such because you just go there during the day and not to spend a night unlike such spas as resort spas and destination spas. And besides it is usually cheaper to go to a day spa.
Day spas also come in different sizes. There is the day spa just within your neighborhood where there are only two or three massage therapists. Of course the expected clientele here is not that big, hence the size of the staff. Also there are the big spas occupying thousands of square feet of space where the best spa equipment can be found. The staff there usually go over a dozen members, sometimes with each one specializing in just one treatment or service.
So what are the types of day spa services that you can get from any spa? Here is a quick guide to get you familiarized with these services.
Massage Therapy
A day spa is not a day spa without a set of relaxing massages. A massage therapy is a kind of treatment where a therapist will use his hands and other parts of his body to work on your muscle tissues, effectively releasing any tension or stress. He makes use of various gliding, kneading and other hand movements to achieve his goals.
with a massage, you are usually nude with only a towel covering you. This is usually the case with a session of Swedish massage, said to be the most popular type of massage. On the other hand, a Thai massage will have you wearing a robe or any lose clothing as the nature of this massage requires the therapist to stretch and move your body.
Facial
A facial is a day spa treatment where your face or skin is cleansed, exfoliated, and also massaged to make you feel relaxed as well as to hydrate your skin. This helps to keep your skin looking young and take away any trace of stress from your face.
There are a few things that are done during a facial treatment. One is that your face is cleansed to remove any dirt and excess oil. Second is called exfoliation where the dead skin cells are removed using any form of exfoliant and usually while steam vapor is directed to your face. Third is the extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. And finally a facial massage.
Body Treatment
Think of a body treatment as a facial for the rest of your body. It exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft. People often think of a body scrub when they hear the words body treatment, and they are right to do so. Body scrubs are among the most popular treatments in any line up of day spa services.
During a body scrub, the therapist rubs a mixture of salt scrub and oil all over your body. This removes any dirt and dead skin cells. A treatment usually lasts for an hour and is best to be followed up with a relaxing massage.
