What to Expect at a Day Spa
If you are planning a day at a day spa you may be wondering what to expect if you have never visited a day spa before. Knowing what to expect will help you to relax and enjoy the relaxing experience.
- The first thing that you will encounter when you visit a day spa is a hefty amount of questions and paperwork that pertain to your current skincare routine, as well as any allergies, or health problems that should be considered during your spa treatment. You will then be given a big comfy robe and slippers that will set the tone for the relaxation that is soon to come.
- Most day spas offer a facial as part of their spa treatment. During this treatment you will be asked to lie down on a table that looks similar to a massage table. Here you will be greeted by a skin care professional that will clean, tone and pamper your face, while also removing any blackheads that you may have.
- The massage is the highlight of all of the day spa features. It offers you a half-hour or more of complete relaxation of your mind and muscles. A trained massage therapist will ask you to lie down on the massage table face down where you will remove your robe and cover your midsection with a towel for modesty. You will then receive your massage using different massage oils and techniques to loosen your tight and tired muscles.
- A Vichi shower treatment is usually applied right after your massage is complete to rinse away any remaining massage oils, as well as to clean and moisturize your skin. You will then be asked to get dressed after the massage therapist has left the massage area.
