Spa holidays are the perfect way to spoil yourself and practice a little well-deserved self-care. Whether you’re staying for a weekend or a month, we recommend five unique spa treatments.
A Hydrofacial
Chester luxury spa breaks at hotels such as //rowtonhallhotel.co.uk/the-spa offer a multi-step, non-invasive facial treatment primed for moisture. A hydrofacial might include hydrodermabrasion and hyaluronic acid to help your skin retain the moisture that follows. It might also include a chemical peel and oxygen therapy.
Zein Ogagi Facial Treatments
ZO facials are medical-grade therapies that address the signs of aging, acne, and pigmentation. They rely on the moisture-boosting powers of aloe, hyaluronic acid, and sulfur. You’ll leave with a brighter, plumper complexion
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion relies on a hand-held exfoliation device that encourages your skin’s natural collagen production. It stimulates blood flow, so the moisture and nutrients your skin needs to heal itself will travel straight to your dermis. This is the perfect procedure for minimising fine lines.
Aromatherapy Massage
If you’re feeling stressed, an aromatherapy massage is a soothing way to restore your mood. It can address insomnia, anxiety, and some symptoms of depression. The essential oils can be selected according to your healing needs.
A Scalp Spa
Scalp spas are a Korean import that combines massage, exfoliation, and soothing treatments. They can stimulate hair growth, soothe irritation, and stimulate circulation.
A spa visit is the perfect way to reset and enjoy a little luxury. Whether you’re experiencing dryness, anxiety, or aging, there’s a treatment just for you. You deserve it!
Getting the most from an aromatherapy massage
An aromatherapy massage should always be given by a registered professional who understands which essential oils are unsuitable for certain medical conditions. On a first visit, a spa should ask for basic medical details so it can avoid oils that might aggravate an existing condition, irritate the skin or trigger an allergy. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or recovering from surgery, check with your doctor first.
Combined with essential oils, massage is often used to help with sleep problems, anxiety, stress, menstrual pain and muscular aches. To make the most of it, avoid eating for at least an hour beforehand so you are comfortable on the table, and bring a bottle of water to drink afterwards.
Try not to book it just before you must rush back to work or collect the children. Hurrying off straight away undoes much of the calm the treatment has just given you.
