Types of spa treatments and packages

With this incredible winter chill in the air, many of us are huddled up indoors avoiding too much activity. But the dry winter weather means that your skin could be suffering, your muscles need some warming up, and a few beauty treatments wouldn’t be unwelcome either! Here’s a look at some spa treatments and packages you could try this winter.

1.     Massages

One of the most popular spa treatments is massage, which is a manipulation of the body’s tissue to promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. Here’s a look at some of the massage treatments that will warm you up and relax you this winter season!

·        Swedish Therapy Massage: This is a relaxing yet deep massage that involves long kneading strokes and rhythmic tapping strokes on the muscles.

·        Aromatic Massage: This is where concentrated plant oils are massaged using gentle pressure.

·        Volcanic Rock Massage: This is where heated volcanic rocks are placed on your body’s tension points to help you relax – a great one to heat you in winter!

·        Tension Point Scalp Massage: A great way to relieve the tension in your scalp and eradicate headaches.

·        Back, Neck, and Shoulder Massage: This is an ideal massage for those of you who work at a desk all day.

·        Foot Massage: This addresses tension points on the foot, relieving stress and health issues in connected parts of the body as well.

2.     Facials

The face often receives the brunt of the harsh winter wind leaving your skin incredibly dry which can lead to rashes, dry patches, and unwanted fine lines. A facial is a great way to rehydrate the skin while encouraging blood circulation.

·        Hydra Facial: This is a special facial machine that’s used to treat specific skin concerns including enlarged pores, deep cleaning, acne, congestion, skin lightening, and premature ageing.

·        Acne Clear Facial: This is a bubble suction treatment that removes congested skin and blackheads with ingredients to prevent oil build-up.

·        Ultra Sonic Facial: This uses medical-grade skincare products to promote micro-circulation and skin renewal.

·        Oxygen Facial: This is vitamin-infused oxygen that is applied to the face and neck for younger skin.

·        Hydra Boost Facial: This is an intensive treatment using sound waves to push the hyaluronic acid into deeper layers of the skin to hydrate and cleanse.

·        Collagen Facial: The collagen reduces wrinkles and fine lines, minimises the appearance of pores and acne scars, while reducing hyperpigmentation.

You could also consider peels if you’re looking to drastically rejuvenate your skin. You can choose from the:

·        Lactifirm Peel: To rehydrate dry skin and prevent premature signs of ageing.

·        Alpha Peel: To address ageing and fine lines.

·        Beta Peel: This peel will treat hyperpigmentation.

·        Retistore: This is to address ageing on the skin.

·        Beta Plus: This peel reduces congestion and acne.

3.     Body Treatments

You might be requiring a much more full-body treatment to address your winter aches and pains! Here are some really innovative body treatments you might want to consider.

·        Rasul Body Treatment: This is an ancient Arabian-inspired thermal mud treatment that is designed to cleanse your body.

·        Cocoa Nourishing Wrap: This is designed to improve the texture and appearance of your dry winter skin!

·        Full-body Exfoliation: This removes dead skin and creates a nourishing skin barrier.

·        Seaweed Detox Body Exfoliation and Wrap: This will improve the texture and appearance of the skin by removing excess toxins and fluids.

4.     Nail Care

The hands and feet are also exposed during the winter months, and can become dry and flaky. A manicure and/or a pedicure will nourish and hydrate the skin, keeping you looking and feeling your best this winter. This involves exfoliation of the hands and feet, cuticle work, a nail shape, and nail varnish. You could even try the Deluxe Paraffin Manicure or Pedicure which uses a paraffin wax mask for extra exfoliation and hydration.

5.     Spa Packages

If you’re looking for a really great spa experience, you might want to try one of the spa packages on offer that include several treatments, often for a reduced rate. Spa packages include:

·        Hammam Couple Experience: This is an exfoliating eucalyptus scrub with a chocolate mud treatment in a steam-infused lounge with aromatic steam and rainforest-like showers. Couples get chocolate treats and champagne to finish off the romantic experience.
