Are spa days worth it?
First and foremost, a relaxing spa visit is the best way to de-stress and calm your mind.

Do you wear makeup to a spa day?
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 our pool and outdoor hot tub, so we recommend you remove it before you use these facilities. Showering before spa treatments is often recommended as a courtesy to both yourself and the spa staff. Taking a quick shower will ensure your skin is completely clean, removing any lotions, oils or perfumes that you may have applied before your visit.

Should I shower after a spa day?
While you can shower after a massage, waiting at least 2-3 hours allows your body to fully benefit from the oils. You can take a lukewarm shower (skip the hot water) a few hours after the massage. Remember to use a gentle cleanser to rinse off any excess oil, but stay away from harsh soaps and scrubbing. The bottom line is that you can shower after your massage if it’s your preference, but you should shower safely. Take your time getting up from the massage table, listen to your body before stepping into the shower, and monitor the heat of the water to make sure the temp doesn’t get too hot.In conclusion, while there are no strict rules, showering or bathing before a massage is generally a good idea. It helps cleanse your skin, relax your mind, and optimize your massage experience.
