Ultimate Day Spa Guide For Babies
The prospect of not knowing what to do when visiting a spa for the first time can be both annoying and frightening. But don’t worry! Take a deep breath. Relax. The day has come: you’re about to go on your first spa trip ever! We’re here to help with some easy tips that will have you feeling like a pro before you know it.
Don't leave booking services until the last minute
Make your spa appointments after you’ve made your hotel bookings. You’ll be able to receive the services you desire before all the prime spots are filled.
Arrive with time to spare
Pre-treatment, most spas feature relaxation areas where you may unwind with tea and nibbles (and sometimes alcohol!). During this appointment, you may be asked to fill out paperwork, so keep track of what products or medicines you’re taking, both swallowed and topical, since this may influence the therapist’s recommendations. Remember to mention any medical issues, such as a swollen knee, so the therapist is aware.
Pass on the perfume
It irritates those around you, and if you’re doing anything with essential oils, your fragrance may overshadow them, robbing you of their benefits.
Don't forget about hydration
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is important for both your body and mind!
Put your phone and valuables away
The whole goal of going to a spa is to disconnect. If you absolutely must take photos, turn off the ringer and tuck your phone into your robe during your sessions. It’ll only be you and your robe (which won’t always be on your body) when it comes to jewelry. Your favorite set of earrings will be all too easy to misplace.
Bring cash or a credit card with plenty of available balance on it
Spas often charge extra for using cards rather than cash, so having enough money set aside will save you some money in the long run.
Keep in mind that you're in control
Speak up if something isn’t to your liking, such as the temperature being too hot or the therapist making you squeal in pain. No spa wants unhappy customers, especially if the issue can be resolved quickly.
Prepare to remove your entire clothing
Wraps, massages, and scrubs are particularly good examples. Even if you’re getting a facial, the therapist will probably ask you to take off your shirt so she can massage the creams into your neck and chest. Remember, these are pros, and they’ll drape you throughout your service to protect your modesty.
Shower and apply makeup later
Allow plenty of time for all of these skin-nourishing lotions and oils to work their magic. If you can’t go barefaced after a facial, just do your eyes and lips to allow your skin to breathe.
Don't forget to leave a token of your appreciation
We’re talking about a tip. At destination spas and some resorts, gratuities are frequently included in the price of a service; verify before making your reservation.
Not only will practicing these top tips calm you down, but it will also help you be your best self! We trust that after reading this, you’ll seem like a pro in no time.
