Even More Magical!

In the serene and rejuvenating atmosphere of a spa, self-care takes center stage. And when it comes to self-care, nothing tops a good massage. Except, perhaps, a massage with an “add-on” to make your massage even more magical. Below, I describe some of our most popular massage add-ons. You can add one or all to customize your massage experience. Speak to your practitioner to help you choose the perfect ones for you. 

Dry Brushing

Dry brushing involves gently exfoliating the skin’s outermost layer using a natural bristle brush. As you pamper yourself in the spa’s tranquil environment, here are some of the compelling benefits you can expect from this therapeutic ritual:

1. Radiant Skin: Dry brushing helps to remove dead skin cells, unveiling a smoother and more radiant complexion. This exfoliation also enhances the skin’s ability to absorb nourishing spa treatments more effectively.
2. Improved Circulation: The gentle strokes of the brush stimulate blood flow, promoting oxygenation and detoxification of the skin. This boost in circulation can leave you feeling revitalized and invigorated.
3. Cellulite Reduction: Regular dry brushing may assist in reducing cellulite by breaking down deposits of fat and toxins beneath the skin’s surface. It also encourages the removal of excess fluid, promoting a firmer appearance.
4. Lymphatic Support: Dry brushing supports the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function and detoxification. By promoting lymphatic drainage, it aids in the removal of waste and toxins from the body.
5. Stress Reduction: The gentle, rhythmic brushing motion has a calming effect on the nervous system. It can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.
6. Energizing Experience: The sensation of dry brushing can invigorate your body and mind, making it an excellent choice as part of your spa experience. It can leave you feeling refreshed and ready to embrace the day.
7. Enhanced Product Absorption: After dry brushing, your skin becomes more receptive to the spa’s luxurious lotions, oils, and masks, allowing these products to penetrate deeply and deliver maximum benefits.

Hot Stones

Hot stone massage involves placing smooth, heated stones at key points on your body while skilled therapists use them to massage your muscles. Here are some of the compelling benefits of indulging in this spa favorite:

1. Deep Muscle Relaxation: The radiant heat from the stones penetrates deep into your muscles, promoting relaxation and easing tension. The combination of heat and skilled massage techniques can melt away stress and knots, leaving you in a state of blissful relaxation.
2. Improved Circulation: Hot stone massage promotes better blood flow, which can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs. This enhanced circulation can leave you feeling invigorated and revitalized.
3. Pain Relief: If you suffer from chronic pain or muscle aches, hot stone massage can provide much-needed relief. The heat from the stones can help alleviate muscle soreness, joint pain, and even symptoms of conditions like arthritis.
4. Stress Reduction: As the warmth of the stones soothes your body, it also calms your mind. The relaxation achieved during a hot stone massage can reduce stress and anxiety, leaving you with a profound sense of tranquility.
5. Detoxification: The heat from the stones helps to open up the blood vessels and improve lymphatic flow. This, in turn, supports the body’s natural detoxification processes, helping to eliminate waste and toxins more effectively.
6. Enhanced Sleep: Many spa-goers report improved sleep quality following a hot stone massage. The relaxation induced by the treatment can lead to a more restful night’s sleep.
7. Balanced Energy: Hot stone massage is believed to balance the body’s energy centers or chakras. It promotes harmony and balance within, leaving you feeling centered and aligned.
