The Benefits of Visiting a Spa

One of life's little joys is a bit of downtime away from daily stressors but putting yourself in the hands of wellness professionals and enjoy a Spa Day offers more than just glowing skin or perfectly manicured hands.

THE MANY HEALTH BENEFITS OF A THE MOST POPULAR TREATMENT - MASSAGE

The healing power of massage is widely acknowledged. Self-care offers a rare chance to pause and find calm in the midst of our hectic lives. Although the benefits of a massage are universally understood, little is known about the science that underlies these effects.

Massage has a favourable impact on your body's biochemistry which is why it is so calming. According to studies, massage may help your body produce less cortisol, which is the main stress hormone.

Serotonin and dopamine, two ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitters, have been proven to increase after the massage therapy. This neurotransmitter is referred to as the ‘feel-good neurotransmitter’ since it raises serotonin levels and lessens depressive disorder symptoms, improving your overall health and sense of well-being. It also helps in reducing cortisol.

As per research, massage therapy has also been known to enhance the immune system's response and performance. According to a Cedars-Sinai Medical Center study from 2010, people who received a 45-minute massage had a higher lymphocyte count after the treatment. It seems that our bodies natural defences against disease are boosted after getting a massage.

Additionally, massage helps with pain management, extends the range of motion, encourages restful sleep, and lessens general weariness.

TURN ON THE GLOW

A facial not only thoroughly cleans your face, gets rid of dead skin cells, nourishes dry skin, and increases blood flow, but it also speeds up skin cell renewal. Additional benefits of facials include:

- Detoxify the skin by cleansing it.

- Reduce the appearance of dark spots and acne scars.

- Get rid of whiteheads and blackheads from your skin (difficult to do at home).

- Reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

NOT ONLY POLISH

Throughout this pandemic, our hands have frequently been subjected to harsh sanitising chemicals, leaving many of us with dry skin and fragile nails.

Moreover, there has undoubtedly been a build-up of dead skin on our worn-out feet as a result of salons being closed for months on end. You can start over with a high-quality manicure and pedicure during this time. All manicures and pedicures include a soothing massage to improve circulation in addition to giving your nails a glossy appearance.

You have a ton of alternatives for unwinding, but there's no need to feel overwhelmed. Start your self-care regimen with a strong foundation. If you want to unwind and reduce tension, a quality massage is a sure thing. The advantages are numerous, ranging from mood to immune system enhancement. If you're still debating, think of it as an investment in your future health that will pay you in the long term.
