FAQs

How many times do you go to the spa? ›

There are only positive changes that you would encounter once you hit the spa and thus you should go to a spa once in a month to replenish and rejuvenate your body. Once your physical body feels relaxed, your mental state would also improve into a happy one.

All of our experts agree that you should keep your menu of treatments in this general order: steam/sauna, bath treatment, scrub, massage, and then facial.

Generally spas will provide products for showering, but it's always a good idea to take them just in case, or if you have particular preferences. On balance spas are very good at having reading materials and magazines laying around, but it never hurts to take a good book or your favourite publication.

Advantages of a 30-Minute Massage

Quick Stress Relief: A 30-minute rub down is ideal for a fast and effective strain discount, imparting a brief spoil from a hectic day. Focus on Problem Areas: This shorter session lets in for focused work on unique regions of tension, together with the neck, shoulders, or returned.

In addition, a full body therapy massage helps stimulate our nervous system; wakes up our muscles, organs, and glands; carries out blood and lymph fluid, and gets multitudes of cells to produce and release chemicals and hormones.

Prepare Your Skin:

Before your spa day, avoid using any harsh skin products that might react with spa treatments. It's also a good idea to exfoliate a day before, so your skin is primed to absorb the full benefits of any lotions or oils used during massages and treatments.

General Tipping Guidelines

“If you're at a day spa, it's appropriate to tip 15-20% of the bill”, says Navrajvir Singh, owner of Lakeview and Palm Tree. So if your treatment costed $200, it's appropriate to tip $30. You can go higher and tip $40 if the therapist provided exceptional service.

If you're concerned about what to wear under the robe, don't be. Most people are nude under those spa robes, but it's perfectly O.K. to leave your undies on if you feel more comfortable. Many spas also offer disposable underwear just for that purpose. You can ask for a pair when you're shown to the locker room.

What to wear at a spa? ›

The first thing to note is that spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so non-restrictive garments (such as yoga bottoms, lounge pants, T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies) are encouraged at most resorts.

Spa etiquette refers to the expected behavior and manners that are appropriate when visiting a spa. Whether you're a seasoned spa-goer or a first-time visitor, it's essential to know the proper etiquette when visiting a spa.

It's up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra. If your problem area is your low back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting or large underwear can sometimes get in the way of massage work.

If you eat before you hop into either, you'll have blood flow competing. Either your food won't properly digest or you won't get the full circulatory benefits of the hot tub/sauna. For best results, wait at least an hour or two after eating before enjoying your recreational equipment.

Take It All Off (Or Don't)

For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don't cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty.

Many clients find regular trips beneficial in maintaining healthy skin over time, so they visit their favourite spas every two weeks or once per month if possible.

To optimize hot tub benefits and get the most value out of your hot tub investment, soak for at least 15 minutes several times a week.

The average person should aim for once a month or every other month.” Moy believes it's better to start with more frequent treatments for the first few weeks. “It's beneficial to get body work at least once a week for several weeks to begin with,” she says. “This can also include reflexology and acupuncture.

In many cases, you'll get the green light to stay in the spa as long as you're comfortable and feeling well. As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes you want to keep soaking, we recommend stepping out for a bit to give your body a break.
