/ by Edit HB
Spa Visits aren’t just a luxury Spa Day or a beauty treatment, they can have amazing physical and mental health benefits as well. Physical and Mental wellness are closely connected, so oftentimes a physical problem will have an effect on your mental state, and vice versa. In the same way, improving your health & physical appearance through spa treatments can help you feel better in many ways; reducing your stress levels, improving your confidence and boosting your energy levels.
From treating aches and pains, to boosting your blood circulation and helping with anxiety, this blog will share the surprising effects a spa treatment can have on your wellness.
Facials
Getting a facial treatment from a professional therapist can be a great way to tackle chronic skin problems. Moisturising facials are great ways to tackle very dry skin, while face masks and exfoliating treatments are amazing at tackling oily skin. If you’re unsure why your skin has certain problems.
There are also some surprising benefits that all facials have in common. Firstly, the movements and massages of a facial relaxes your facial muscles that may be tensed up because of the stresses of everyday life. This relaxes you both physically and mentally, making you feel more energised and ready to face the world again. This can even be a great solution if you have a muscle tension problem or condition.
The movements also get your circulation flowing and encourage your skin to produce more collagen. This has a powerful effect on signs of ageing, filling in wrinkles and slowing down (or even impeding) further ageing signs for some time.
Facials also release pressure in your sinuses, making them great for people who suffer from allergies or migraines. They also help reduce scar tissue from injuries or acne, reducing the tension, pain or tenderness that this tissue can cause.
Massages
The practice of massage is an ancient healing ritual in many cultures, and for good reason! The health benefits of massages are incredible, whether physical or mental. Many people enjoy massages for their ability to relieve pain and tension. The oils and movements relax muscles, break up scar tissue, relieve soreness and relax areas of tension. As a result, people with chronic pain, sports injuries or high stress may find them an essential part of their lifestyle.
Massages can restore your energy and relax you if you are tired or struggling to get restful sleep. They can also relax your feelings of anxiety which will in itself help you feel restored and sleep better. There are suggestions that massages can be helpful for people who have depression or anxiety disorders.
There are even indications that massages boost your white cell count, which in turn boosts your immunity. They can also help you tackle migraine problems , which is very helpful for people with chronic headaches.
Spas as a Shared Experience
You don’t have to attend the spa alone. Spa visits can be more enjoyable with friends, family and loved ones. If you and your partner both wish to relieve tension and have a change of scenery, a couple’s massage may be the perfect shared experience.
Attending spa days with friends can also be a great physical and mental health boost. Sharing health goals with friends helps you be more accountable when reaching milestones, and is an added motivator to keep going.
