How early should I arrive at a spa?
The Dos of Etiquette Arrive Early Arriving 10-15 minutes before your spa treatment allows you to check in, change into a robe, and begin to relax before your treatment begins. This ensures you’re not rushed and can fully enjoy the experience from start to finish. In many cases, you’ll get the green light to stay in the spa as long as you’re comfortable and feeling well. As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes you want to keep soaking, we recommend stepping out for a bit to give your body a break.
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. Should I shave before my spa service(s)? We recommend allowing several hours between shaving and receiving any service that involves an exfoliation (body services, scrubs, facial) to decrease the risk of skin irritation or discomfort.
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. Because spa salons offer many types of treatments, including massages, “spa” is a broader term than “massage. Typically, spas offer massages for relaxation purposes but they also other pampering services like facials, manicures, and pedicures.
