Massages, hydrotherapy sessions, facials, mud baths, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, chakra balancing, and steam baths can all help make the school year a success. Spas also offer opportunities to meet with old friends, new roommates, or significant others to start the school year off right.
Stress Relief
For stress relief and the ultimate in relaxation, Swedish and deep tissue massages are sure winners. For feeling and looking one’s best, a massage can be combined with a detoxifying body wrap, reflexology session, steam bath, or salt glow treatment. Hydrotherapy sessions have been scientifically proven to relax muscles and joints and increase flexibility.
Revitalizing and Soothing Treatments
Certain invigorating ingredients such as mint and rosemary oil used in body and scalp massages can be used as motivational tools. When selecting your spa treatment, consider if you’re looking for a spring in your step or a soothing balm to help alleviate anxiety. Explaining your expected outcome can help your esthetician choose the most effective oils for your hot stone massage or body wrap.
Any special needs, such as sun damaged or blotchy skin or tense shoulder muscles should be brought to your esthetician’s attention. This can help them determine the best botanical products to use for your specific treatment.
The Polished Look
Smooth hands and feet with well-groomed nails and silky, shiny hair can improve one’s self-image and also the impression made on others. Spa manicures and pedicures, scalp massages and hair conditioning treatments are a good investment for starting the new school year. Some spas offer special savings when manicures and pedicures are combined. In addition, some spas offer mini-pedicures, which save both time and money, for those clients whose feet need less attention.
The Spa Party
Destination spas offer Couples’ Getaways, Solo Getaways, Men’s Grooming Sessions, and Girlfriend Outings. With today’s emphasis on health and wellbeing, there’s an impressive number of spa resorts and spa activities to choose from. Depending on what one is looking for, different spa destinations offer healthy gourmet cuisine, specialized spa treatments, hiking trails, casinos, outdoor massages, white water rafting, golfing, cooking classes, yoga classes, martial arts classes and more. There truly is something for everyone.
Back to School Specials
Before scheduling your day spa service or destination resort getaway, ask about any summer’s end or back to school specials or discounted offers. Many specials are available. For instance, The Pampering Place Day Spa and Gift Boutique in Denver, Colorado is offering a special during the month of August that includes a coconut lime body scrub and pedicure for $115.
Self-Care
Thousands of luxurious, highly effective spa products are available for home use. Products range from Dead Sea bath salts and seaweed facial masques to laser lights designed to heal troubled skin. A back-to-school hot tub party followed by a manicure session can be the perfect start to the new school year.
