By Samatha Putz

Do you suffer from bodily aches and pains? Perhaps your anxiety levels have hit an all time high? Have you considered that maybe your body is telling you something? As busy as we all are, our physical and emotional well being often gets put on the back burner and ultimately we pay the consequence with ill health. If this sounds like you then perhaps you should consider visiting a day spa. These salons offer a variety of treatments that will give your body and mind some much needed therapy. Check out the list below for the most popular.

1. Body Wraps - If you're looking to tighten and tone your body, lose unwanted inches and have glowing skin, then a body wrap is what you need. Wraps are available as a kit for home use or offered at day spas. There are many treatments to chose from such as herbal wraps, sea weed, algae, sea clay and dry mineral wraps. Most applications are administered by wrapping the body in towels or elastic cotton gauze which remain for an hour. Once the treatment is done, a body lotion is applied.

2. Exfoliating Treatments - Imagine having your body rubbed down with coffee grounds or even rice, yes, you heard that right. These ingredients are the main components of body polishes which strip your body of dead skin cells, much like a salt (sea salt and essential oils) or sugar scrub, except much coarser. Exfoliating treatments are usually followed by a moisturizer, leaving your skin youthful and satiny to the touch.

3. Facials - Most day spas offer a variety of facials. This is necessary to meet each client's individual skin care needs. Steam is often used to open the pores and offers deep cleaning, removing dirt and even black heads. You can opt to have floral herbs or essential oils added to the steam water. Other choices for facials include massages which promote blood circulation while a face mask detoxifies the skin. Whichever treatment you choose, your face will glow.

4. Massage - Whether you're looking to re-energize your tired body or relax those sore muscles, there is definitely a massage treatment with your name on it. It could be as simple as getting a Swedish massage where they knead, tap and stroke every muscle on your body or it could be a delightful hot stone massage where targeted areas are gently rubbed with warm basalt pebbles. Other options include seaweed and aromatherapy massages. Whichever you chose, you body will love you for it.

The ultimate goal of a day spa is to indulge all your senses and make you feel good. This is accomplished by providing existing and potential clients with a variety of treatments that cater to each individual needs. Whether you're seeking a soothing massage, relaxing facial, invigorating rub or detoxifying wrap, you deserve to be pampered with luxury now and then. - 16650
