Do you take everything off at a spa?
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. 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!Each locker is set with a luxurious spa robe and slippers to wear within the spa. You are encouraged to dress down to your own comfort level, though all of our therapists are skilled in proper draping procedures to ensure complete comfort and privacy.The first thing to note is that spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so non-restrictive garments (such as yoga bottoms, lounge pants, T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies) are encouraged at most resorts.Wear Comfortable Undergarments Choose a supportive bra that allows for easy movement and doesn’t dig into your skin. Wearing the right undergarments will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident throughout your spa experience.
What happens during a spa day?
The most common spa treatments are massages, manicures/pedicures and facials. However, you might also see offered such treatments as a body scrub/exfoliation, a fingers or toes file & polish (like a mini manicure or pedicure) or a scalp massage. 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.Spa Treatments Offer More than Pampering Deep tissue and sports massage for quick and steady muscle recovery. Custom facials for thicker, oil-prone or shaving-sensitive skin. Scalp and back treatments that target often-neglected areas. Infrared sauna sessions for detox and circulation.Drinking plenty of water and eating light, healthy meals before your spa day can make treatments like massages and facials more effective. Staying hydrated and choosing foods like fruits and salads can help prepare your body, making you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the benefits of your spa visit.The most common spa treatments are massages, manicures/pedicures and facials.
