Massage and facial packages guide

Self-care is the theme for 2024 and the first place to start is with a revitalising massage and invigorating facial. If you’ve never been for a massage or facial, or are just unsure where to start looking, we’ve put together a handy guide that can help you select the best package. This is also helpful if you’re considering treating a friend or family member to a spa treatment, but can’t settle on the right option.

What a facial package includes

Whether you’re looking for a cleanse, skin revitalisation, or some relaxing treatment, facials are great for all skin types. A basic facial package will usually include the following steps.

  1. Cleansing: This is a deep cleansing of the skin to remove excess oil, impurities, and dead skin cells.

  2. Exfoliation: This removes the layer of dead skin cells using scrubs or chemical exfoliants like peels.

  3. Extraction: After steaming the face to open the pores, impurities like blackheads and whiteheads are removed.

  4. Facial Massage: This relaxes the facial muscles, improves circulation, and promotes lymphatic drainage.

  5. Facial Mask: A mask is applied to address skin challenges like acne, hydration, or brightening.

  6. Serums and Moisturisers: These are applied to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple.

  7. Additional Treatments: A specialised package could include eye or lip treatments as well.

Massage and facial packages

There are many different massage types and techniques, all of which can be tailored to suit your needs and preferences. These can be coupled with a facial for an all-in-one experience. Here’s a look at what spas generally offer.

  • Basic Massage Package: This is usually a standard relaxation massage with a basic facial. It’s affordable, and a good starting point for those who are new to spa treatments.

  • Deep Tissue Massage Package: If you have severe muscle tension, then this package is ideal as the pressure is firming targeting deeper muscle tissue. This could include a facial targeting skincare concerns such as acne.

  • Hot Stone Massage Package: Another great form of muscle tension alleviation is hot stone massage, with a facial to open the pores for a deep cleanse.

  • Aromatherapy Massage Package: This is a sensory massage and facial using the therapeutic properties of aromatherapy.

  • Rasul Chamber Massage Package: This incorporates the heating and cleansing elements of a Rasul Chamber followed by a deep massage and facial.

  • Couples Massage Package: Couples or friends can enjoy a side-by-side massage and facial, bonding together in a relaxed environment.

  • Pampering Massage Package: This is usually a half or full-day treatment that includes a body scrub or wrap, a Rasul Chamber session, longer massage sessions, luxurious facials, snacks, drinks, and meals.

  • Specialised Massage Packages: These are tailored to more unique needs such as prenatal massages and facials using substances that won’t harm the baby, sports massages for athletes, anti-ageing facials for those with hydration concerns, and more.
