Popular day spa body treatments
Your day spa could be designed to provide customers with a good sense of health and relaxation by offering a selection of body treatments.
Massage
One of the most popular body treatments offered at a day spa is that of a massage. When it comes to massages, you should know that you can offer more than just having the body rubbed down for an hour or so. Many day spas provide options, as well as many accessories. For example, some spas have what is commonly known as breathe easy massages. These often involve the use of scented lavender oil towels. Hot stones can also be applied to the face, back, stomach, or all three areas.
In addition to full body massages, there are also those available that target specific areas. The scalp is one of those areas, as well as the hands, feet, back, and shoulders.
Salt scrubs
Salt scrubs are another common procedure which involve the use of sea salts. This procedure will exfoliate and cleanse the skin by removeing the dead, top layer of skin from the body. The end result should be clean, young, and fresh looking skin. Due to the use of exfoliating scrubs, this procedure often focuses more on health than relaxation.
Mud wraps
Mud wraps are another body treatment that many day spas offer. With mud wraps, you offer the option of targeting the whole body or just the face. A mud wrap, like the Provencal European Mud Mask, is applied to the body. This will then work to purify, polish, hydrate, and smooth the skin. Before the procedure begins, the skin is often exfoliated. Afterwards, the skin may be moisturized with a carefully chosen cream, like body butter.
Herbal wraps
In addition to mud wraps, herbal wraps are also available. Herbal body wraps involve the use of steamed towels that are wrapped around the body or the targeted area. These towels are first blended with a perfect combination of scented, aromatherapy oils. Herbal wraps cause the body to detoxify, which results in excess fluid being eliminated. Relaxation is another added benefit.
Herbal moisturizing treatments are also available for those who suffer from constant or extreme dry skin. This treatment first involves the application of cream, which is massaged onto the body in thick layers. An herbal wrap, which was described above, often follows.
Additional treatment
In addition to main procedures, such as the ones highlighted above, there are additional steps that can be added. For example, a tan bronze glow can be applied at the end of each procedure. Having a slight, yet safe, tan is ideal if your customer is preparing for an upcoming special event, like a wedding or a vacation. Many men and women feel better about themselves and feel more attractive when they are tan.
It is also important to note that there are specific areas of the body that can be targeted, like the hands or the feet. Spa foot treatments and hand treatments are popular options. As for the foot treatment, you will likely soak their feet in warm soapy water. Next, their feet will be scrubbed and exfoliated. A special foot mask may also be applied. Both hand and foot treatments are often finished with a nail trimming.
