Whether you're visiting a day spa for the first
time or the fiftieth, these tips will help you get the most out of
your massage, body wrap, aromatherapy, etc.
Find a
Chicago Day Spa
- Remember when Mom told you not to swim for an
hour after eating? Well, the same holds true for spa visits.
Don't eat for at least an hour before a massage or body
treatment.
- Arrive 30 minutes early. If you're
worried about being late, tapping your foot waiting for the
elevator and rushing to the receptionist desk, you won't get
nearly as much out of your visit.
- RELAX! I know, that's how you're
supposed to feel after you're done. If you can take a few deep
breaths before your treatment (in the waiting room, since you're
early, right?), your experience will be that much more
rewarding.
- Drink LOTS of water before and after.
Water enhances the detoxifying and rehydrating benefits.
- Talk to your therapists - they don't
bite! If anything feels off, let them know: too hot/cold, too
much pressure/too little pressure, music's too loud - anything.
They want you to have the best experience possible so you'll
come back for more.
