I really like preparing for a date at a day spa. There are a lot of great ones in Miami where I live one. The thing is –do you know what beauty are worth the money and which ones should you choose if you have never been to any type of day spa before? Well talk to me I have had every day spa treatment in the world
One of the most popular and worthwhile services offered at many day spas is the therapeutic massage. This is a massage, sometimes done with essential oils or specialty creams in which a masseuse manually manipulates your skin and muscles. This calms my nerves and I find also stimulates the skin by bringing blood circulation to the surface.
Yet another practical and effective service is the facial which can involve a number of practices including analysis of the skin, exfoliation deep cleansing, massage, infrared therapy toning, moisturizing and the removal of black heads. You can also get similar treatments at day spas for the entire body.
These body treatments are basically facials for the whole body that also include exfoliation, toning, heath therapy, moisturizing and massage. One of the most au-courant body treatments is a salt glow or body scrub, an exfoliating treatment where the therapist rubs off the outermost layer of dead skin cells and that stimulates the skin so the circulation is brought to the surface. This gives your whole body a healthy, fresh glow.
Another specialty treatment offered by many day spas is the body wrap. Basically there are two types of body wraps – the detoxifying wrap and the hydrating wrap. Algae, mud, fruit and seaweed are used in detoxifying wraps. Hydrating body wraps consist of such ingredients as shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado and other types of rich creams or oils. Many day spas also add vitamins, flower petals and even chocolate to their wraps to make them more beneficial and pleasant to experience.
Another common offering at day spas is the manicure or pedicures along with foot and leg massages. These massages can be done with aromatherapy. However you can also get these types of services done more cheaply at a hair salon.
Before you go for some of the more exotic services that are offered by day spas such as hot stone therapy, Thai Massage or iridology (looking at the irises of the eyes to diagnose health conditions) you might want to try some of the basic services described above to make sure that it is a quality day spa.
Quality day spas will be ones that come highly recommended by your friends and local magazines. They are also usually located in high-end areas of town. Some of the very best day spas are located inside hotel chains. Also like most things that can be purchased in life, treatments at day spas tend to be better if they are more expensive. This is because the expensive day spas hire better-qualified staff and use more expensive ingredients in their potions.
