What is the difference between a spa day and a spa break?
You may have noticed the majority of our spa experiences fall into two categories: spa days, which take place on one day, and spa breaks which are spread across one or more days. A twilight spa simply refers to a spa day package that you enjoy in the evening.
Can a 13 year old have a spa day?
While most spas will not offer spa treatments for children under the age of 16, children’s spa experiences can begin at a young age – identifying spas as places of wellbeing, fun and relaxation. On balance however, spas themselves do not tend to permit children under the age of 16. In all cases, children and teenagers must be accompanied by an adult. What it boils down to is a combination of individual spa destination protocols, safety, consideration for others and personal choice.The minimum age for most spas varies and can be as young as 13. The majority also require that a parent or guardian is in the treatment room when the teen is receiving any type of bodywork. Paperwork granting permission from the adult and other requirements may be needed as well, varying by property.As with facials, there’s no specific age restriction on having a massage, but generally spas don’t offer treatments other than simple manicures and pedicures to children under the age of 16 years old.Some venues offer treatments and access to the facilities from age 16, while others welcome spa-loving mini-mes as young as 13 as long as there’s a parent or guardian present during treatments. Not all treatments are suitable for their enviably youthful skin, so it’s important to choose carefully.
Are spa days worth it?
If your life is constantly busy, spa days are the ultimate form of relaxation. You can indulge in treatments and pampering sessions from soothing massages, revitalising facials, and full body treatments that leave you feeling fresh and renewed. If you are seeking some real relaxation, then the benefits of solo spa breaks are endless – especially when enjoyed at a beautiful retreat. A healing balm for busy minds and tired bodies, solo spa breaks help to boost mental wellbeing and soothe the soul.
What not to do before a spa day?
Before your spa day, avoid using any harsh skin products that might react with spa treatments. It’s also a good idea to exfoliate a day before, so your skin is primed to absorb the full benefits of any lotions or oils used during massages and treatments. For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don’t cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty.For individuals who plan on having a full body massage and are comfortable with removing clothing, the standard is to keep your undergarments on. It’s a good idea not to remove all of your clothing unless your therapist has requested you do so.You definitely do not need to wear makeup to the spa. In fact, we recommend you take this opportunity to let your skin breathe and your natural beauty shine through! It is best to not wear makeup in the facilities, so we recommend you remove it beforehand.Most spas want you to be comfortable and relaxed, so arrive wearing loose, comfortable clothing like gym clothes, yoga pants and t-shirts. Once you are changed, you’ll be spending most of your time in a robe anyway!
Which age is best for spa?
Spa age policies vary significantly depending on the facility and treatment type. Most traditional spas restrict access to saunas, steam rooms, and thermal pools to guests over 16 or 18, primarily for safety reasons related to heat exposure and developing bodies’ different temperature regulation systems.
