Traditional Skin Treatments- SPA
Basic SPA treatments can be performed at any type of spa location.
These include:
Facials: A facial is a deep cleansing of the skin. A good facial should leave the skin soft, clean, hydrated, and free of blackheads and other impurities.
Facial Mask: This facial treatment involves placing some type of concoction on the face and leaving to allow it to dry. Masks can be made of algae, seaweed, mud, or any number of materials. After the mask is removed, the skin should feel tighter and smoother. Depending on skin type and mask chosen, a facial mask may also exfoliate, hydrate, or treat acne.
Body Scrub: The body scrub is an exfoliating treatment, designed to remove dead skin. There are many different types of body scrubs, all using different oils, vitamins, and salts, but the basic goal is the same: soft, smooth, hydrated skin.
Body Mask: A body mask is exactly like a facial mask, except it is used on the entire body. Body masks are usually used for exfoliation.
Body Wrap: There are different types of body wraps, with completely different goals. Some wraps are intended to detox the body; others promise to quickly remove pounds and inches.
Either way, the procedure is the same: your body will be covered in a liquid, cream, or mud and then tightly wrapped.
Be aware that any weight lost in a body wrap will be water weight, so the results are short-lived. Still, if you have the money to spare and you need to fit in a special outfit, a body wrap can help.
In addition, most spas also offer a variety of massages, pedicures, and manicures
