Spa treatments to revive and invigorate
With the stresses and strains modern day living offers, it’s little wonder that people are increasingly looking to get away from it all to recharge the batteries. But with regular tropical island holidays out of bounds for most of us, spa days offer one of the next best things.
Luxury spa treatments provide some of the most effective ways of getting a spring back into your step and a lift back into your spirits. So what exactly is on offer at a spa day retreat?
Steam Rooms
Most spas have steam rooms or saunas available for use during your visit. Heat, whether dry in the form of a sauna, or humid as in a steam room, has been known to offer both a relaxing and yet invigorating experience since Roman times. When coupled with fragrant aromatic oils, as many now are, the treatment is enhanced. For example lavender will soothe or eucalyptus will refresh, so you can choose the best option to match your mood.
Mud Treatments
Enriched with numerous minerals, the mud used in spa treatments is known for its therapeutic properties. An application of mud not only draws out toxins but can also moisturise the skin and even alleviate arthritis and rheumatoid pain. Rasul mud treatment suites offer an ancient Arabic cleansing and bathing ritual, where mineral-rich mud is applied and combined with heat and steam to cleanse and de-toxify the body.
Massage
A wide range of massage treatments is offered at UK spas. At the top end, your body type will be assessed and carefully blended oils and massage strokes then applied to work out all the knots in tired and aching muscles. You can also have shorter, back, neck and shoulder massages, Indian head massages or foot and leg massages, depending on your needs.
Beauty Treatments
Visiting a spa is all about improving your health and wellbeing through relaxation. Most spas now also offer a range of beauty treatments which can be booked in addition to using all the facilities. This might include waxing, eyebrow shaping, manicures and pedicures. Whatever the reason or occasion, professional attention to your health and beauty needs is almost always a treat and leaves you feeling good about the way you look and feel.
