Few things are more relaxing than a day of pampering at a spa. Although many people might consider spa treatments to be an unadulterated waste of time and money, a couple of hours spent at a health resort can be a cathartic experience for your mind, body, and soul.
Most spas offer a wide array of services, each of which is meant to put you at ease and erase anxiety. A few of the most popular spa services include:
· Manicures/Pedicures: In addition to adding color to fingernails and toenails, manicures and pedicures hydrate and exfoliate hands and feet, respectively.
· Massages: Be it an aromatherapy, Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, or Shiatsu massage, a total body rub down will surely alleviate the physical and emotional stresses that are caused from the daily grind.
· Facials: A facial is a deep-cleansing of the face. Estheticians will exfoliate the skin in order to open pores, a process that helps rehydrate the face. Facials also include extractions of pimples and whiteheads. Overall, facials massage and rejuvenate the face.
· Waxing: An alternative to shaving, waxing is a technique used to temporarily remove unwanted hair. Body parts that are commonly waxed include eye brows, upper lips, chins, nostrils, arms, legs, lower chest regions (bikini line), and backs. Waxing can sometimes be relatively painful, as hairs are pulled out from their roots.
· Makeup for brides: A woman's wedding day is probably the most anticipated day of her life. Many spas employ make-up artists whose primary job is to apply makeup for brides on their big day. (Some spas will allow their makeup artists to work on location if the bride doesn't have time to visit before the ceremony.)
Each one of these services alone is the perfect way for anyone to take a break from their regimented workaday life.
