When to eat before spa?
However, you shouldn’t go hungry either, so it is wise to eat lightly about two hours before starting. Being well hydrated increases the spa’s purifying and moisturizing effects, so it is recommendable to drink plenty of water before going to the spa. Punctuality: Arrive at least 15-20 minutes before your appointment to allow time for check-in and to change into spa attire. If you wish to enjoy the spa amenities, we recommend arrival up to one hour ahead of your first scheduled treatment to enjoy hot tub, steam, and relaxation areas.
What time of day is best for spa?
It can be before or after a workout, in the morning before work, before bed, or on the weekend with friends. No matter what time of day, give yourself a 15-minute break to relax in your spa. 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.
What is the difference between a day spa and a normal spa?
Pampering is the primary goal of day spas, including here at Unique Day Spa. Traditional spas usually sit within a hotel or larger spa complex which offers overnight stays as part of the package and med spas are primarily used for the health of the body, such as the skin. Depending on the facility, you can expect to enjoy services like massage, facials, hydrotherapy, and other restorative body treatments. There may be a steam room, sauna, or pool that are also available for use during your visit.

Do you shower after a spa day?
After a massage, your body is in a state of relaxation and recovery, and the massage oils applied to your skin continue to nourish it. Taking a hot bath immediately could strip away these benefits. Generally, it’s recommended to wait at least two to three hours after a massage before taking a bath. Taking a shower or bath at this time can potentially lead to skin damage or inflammation. So the answers here are to avoid showering and bathing for a few hours both before AND after a massage, cupping, or spa-type session.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.
