What makes a good day spa?
It should have a positive atmosphere: spas should look and smell good, be comfortable and peaceful. The main goal of a spa is to make users feel more relaxed. If you’re not feeling relaxed within the spa setting, it’s probably not a good spa. Whatever you choose, there are a number of benefits that come with a relaxing spa visit. Not only are you going to feel better mentally, but you’re also going to feel more confident, sleep better and benefit from better skin. Go on, it’s time to finally award yourself the spa treatment you’ve deserved for too long.Enjoy a solo spa day for one or a soothing treatment for two and indulge in some much-needed self-care. Whatever you choose, let yourself be transported to an oasis of calm and take a moment for some well-deserved me time.Once your treatments are complete, you can spend the rest of your spa day using the health and fitness facilities included as part of your package. You can have a dip in the pool, detox in the sauna, unwind in the relaxation room, or get your heart pumping in the gym* – it’s completely up to you.
What is the best order for a spa day?
Think about the order of your services (and when you want to eat). Give yourself an hour or two to digest before any bodywork, or eat lightly before a massage. Schedule massages before facials, or else all the products that have been applied to your skin may come off on the face cradle. It’s generally advised to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after a massage before eating; this gives your body time to transition from the relaxed state of the massage to a state ready for digestion.
What clothes to wear to a spa day?
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! How should you wear your hair in a spa? If you have long hair, we find it is best to wear it tied back – whether that is in a high ponytail or messy bun. You can wear it down if you prefer, but we find that long hair can get in our faces – and that is not relaxing!
How to turn a bath into a spa?
Incorporate aromatherapy into your bathroom with calming scents like lavender, rosemary, or ylang-ylang.

Or hang a bundle of eucalyptus in your shower for a fresh burst of fragrance when you turn on the water. Layer in little luxuries. These ultra-soft additions can make your home an instant retreat from the larger world. Stock your bathroom with plush towels and bathrobes as well as bath bombs and other treats.

Turn bathrobes into mini spa robes with a sash and name tag. Use foldable tables for DIY stations: nails, face masks, and crafts. Soft lighting, flameless candles, and fresh flowers add to the ambiance.
