So, you’re thinking of treating yourself to a relaxing spa visit? And you should :). It sure is good for your body, your mind and your soul.
At the end of a particularly 'heavy' week, it’s only natural for our body and our mind to feel drained. In these moments, it is safe to say that anyone and everyone could benefit from a relaxing spa treatment. This is your time to unwind and relax. It’s your time to treat yourself to a rare and cherished moment of relaxation. It is the time that you owe to yourself for all of the hard work and challenges you continue to face week after week.
1. Releases neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine
Did you know that going to the spa can genuinely make you a happier person? Ohhh yes.
As if we didn’t have reason enough, science is now backing us up in why the spa is healthy for the mind and soul. Following a massage, science has found that the body benefits from increased levels of serotonin and dopamine (both neurotransmitters, meaning they are chemical messengers in the brain which communicate via neurons). Serotonin is associated with feelings of happiness, focus and calm, whilst dopamine is associated with feelings of rewards, motivation, and being productive. Trust me, if anything - spa and sauna will do wonders in the way you feel.
2. Anti aging benefits
Did you know that your natural anti-oxidant production begins to decline in your 20s?
As we know, our skin isn’t exactly one of the elements in life that gets better as you age. This is why taking care of your skin and doing your best to prevent anti-aging from a young age is so crucial.Fortunately, there are plenty of spa treatments that can to make our skin appear brighter, smoother, and radiantly younger. Choose something you can relate to and do it on a regular basis.
3. More radiant skin
In taking care of your skin with facials and treatments, your skin is naturally going to evolve into the best version of itself. This could mean anything from minimising acne to reducing the look of fine lines and sunspots. Starting at a young age, taking care of our skin is vital. In doing so, we’re setting ourselves up to have our best skin possible as we 'slowly' start to age.
4. Helps to smooth skin
If you’re looking to enhance your body confidence, you can rest assured that there are plenty of 'non surgical' approaches that are incredibly effective. And to me - natural is the only way to go.
For example, you might feel instances of insecurity surrounding your cellulite. If this is the case, you can indulge yourself in a skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment. These treatments have proven to be incredibly effective for many without exposing yourself to danger. Beside your daily exercise routine of course. Without that, and a good hydration, your body will just not respond to any of the treatments mentioned above :). However, with a good plan you can feel greater confidence in yourself and your body. When it comes to how we view ourselves, what could be better? Work on yourself!
5. Better blood flow and circulation
On top of how incredibly relaxing massage or sauna or anything else in the spa can be, it can also benefit our body in that it can improve blood flow and circulation. This helps our body to fend off illness. This is because your lungs, your heart, and your muscles are able to function properly. You’ll also find that your organs benefit from being in good and working order.
6. Enhances sleep
In taking care of your skin with facials and treatments, your skin is naturally going to evolve into the best version of itself. This could mean anything from minimising acne to reducing the look of fine lines and sunspots. Starting at a young age, taking care of our skin is vital. In doing so, you are setting yourself up to have the best skin possible, even after you reach 40 ;).
6. Enhances confidence
At the end of the day, you’re going to feel significantly better leaving the spa than you did first arriving at the spa. And it is only natural to feel your best self after leaving the spa. You might have treated yourself to a facial treatment that has bettered your skin and left it with a smooth, healthy glow. Or, you used a laser hair treatment to rid yourself of some unwanted hair.
Either way, you can look forward to leaving the spa feeling radiant and the best version of yourself. And that matters most. Give yourself permission to be you once again, without distractions form the outside environment. Connect with your body and mind and see what happens ;).
Until next time, S.
