Seasonal Spa Treatments: Adapting Your Skincare Routine Throughout the Year
One skincare routine doesn’t work for every person, and one skincare routine doesn’t work throughout the year. As the seasons change, your skin needs shift – with winter skin prone to dryness and flaking, while excess moisture and sun exposure in summer adjust your needs further.
The key to maintaining a healthy, radiant glow lies in adapting your skincare regimen to suit the season, and one of the most comprehensive ways to do this is with a seasonal spa treatment designed to work with nature. At a quality spa, your aesthetician can advise you on what treatments are best suited to the season, and what products are best for your skin.
Which Spa Treatments for Which Season?
Here’s a look at how each season impacts your skin, and which treatments can help you stay beautifully balanced, all year round.
1. Spring Season
Spring is the season of renewal, and your skin deserves the same. After months of exposure to dry, harsh winter air and indoor heating, your skin may be dull, dehydrated, or flaky. This is the perfect time to exfoliate those dead skin cells and encourage cell regeneration. A spring spa treatment should focus on detoxification, hydration, and radiance to prepare your skin for sunnier days ahead.
Best Spring Treatments:
Seaweed Detox Body Exfoliation and Wrap: This treatment helps refresh your skin, clear away dry patches, and boost circulation.
Detoxifying Facials: These facials include deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation to help decongest pores and brighten your complexion.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage: This is ideal for boosting the immune system and eliminating toxins accumulated over winter.
2. Summer Season
Summer brings warmth, sunshine, and outdoor fun, which means increased UV exposure, sweat, and oil production. The heat can trigger breakouts, uneven skin tone, and even dehydration if you’re not properly hydrated. You need to keep your skin clear and calm during summer with treatments that focus on cooling, balancing oil levels, and replenishing hydration.
Best Summer Treatments:
Cooling Gel Facials: These provide soothing relief from sun exposure and reduce inflammation.
Hydrating Masks: Summer skin can become parched, especially after time at the beach or pool. Hydrating masks restore moisture without clogging pores.
Massage Foot Therapy: This is perfect for relieving those tired, swollen feet after long summer days.
Manicures and Pedicures: Get your feet and hands summer-ready with a revitalising nail treatment.
3. Autumn Season
Autumn is all about transition, and after the sun-soaked days of summer, your skin might be showing signs of sun damage such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and dryness. This is the season to focus on repair and preparation for winter. Autumn treatments help reverse sun damage and build a resilient barrier to prepare your skin for colder months.
Best Autumn Treatments:
Brightening Facials: Treatments that include Vitamin C or fruit enzymes can help fade summer pigmentation and rejuvenate your dull skin.
Cocoa Nourishing Wrap: Rich oils penetrate deeply to restore hydration of the skin
Tension Point Scalp Massage and Treatments: After summer’s exposure to sun, sea, and chlorine, your scalp and strands need nourishment too.
4. Winter Season
Winter is tough on the skin as the cold, dry air combined with indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling tight, itchy, and more prone to irritation. Your body and mind also crave warmth, relaxation, and nourishment. This season, it’s all about cocooning your skin in comfort by choosing therapies that offer deep hydration, protection, and warmth.
Best Winter Treatments:
Hot Stone Massages: These provide deep relaxation while boosting circulation, which helps deliver nutrients to the skin.
Rasul Treatment: This is an ancient ritual inspired by an Arabian thermal mud treatment designed to cleanse and enhance your skin.
Steam Therapy: Ideal for opening pores and enhancing the benefits of facial treatments.
Hydrating and Calming Facials: These treatments with hyaluronic acid or creamy masks lock in moisture.
