The 3 Best Spa Treatments for Beginners
If you're new to spa treatments, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. With so many different services available, it can be difficult to figure out which ones are best for you. In this blog, we'll take a look at some of the best spa treatments for beginners, so you can start your spa journey with confidence.
1. Swedish Massage
A Swedish massage is a great introduction to spa treatments. It is a gentle, full-body massage that uses long, gliding strokes and kneading to promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. This type of massage is perfect for beginners because it's not too intense, so you won’t have to worry about your massage therapist using too much pressure. If you’re looking for a simple way to relieve stress, then Swedish massage is perfect for you.
2. European Facial or Custom Facial
A facial is another great spa treatment for beginners. This treatment is designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A facial will usually include a cleanser, exfoliant, mask, moisturizer, and massage, and is a fantastic way to pamper yourself and take care of your skin at the same time. We strongly recommend a European or custom facial for those who are new to facial treatments.
A European facial typically consists of the following 6 steps: cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, face mask, massage, and application of serums and moisturizers. This facial treatment is great for deeply cleansing the face, unclogging pores, improving blood circulation, and evening out your skin tone. Although a European facial uses standard techniques, it is also highly customizable and will leave your face glowing.
A custom facial is a facial treatment that is fully tailored to your specific skin needs. Your esthetician will take a look at your skin before the treatment begins and choose products based on your skin type and skin condition. This completely customized spa service is designed for you to meet all of your skincare needs, and you will also be given tips on how to target your specific skin concerns.
3. Manicures and Pedicures
Manicures and pedicures are a great way to take care of your hands and feet while relaxing at the same time. These treatments usually include a soak, exfoliation, massage, and polish. Mani-pedis can leave your nails with a neat and polished look. While there is a range of manicures and pedicures to choose from, we recommend a basic or regular mani-pedi for beginners.

In addition to the services mentioned above, spas sometimes offer a relaxation room, which can be a wonderful place to unwind and de-stress. You can spend time in a quiet, dimly lit room, relaxing on a comfortable seat, and listen to soothing music or nature sounds. This is a great way to disconnect from the outside world, and unwind after a long day or week.
These are just a few of the many spa treatments available to beginners. Remember that every spa is different, and the services they offer will vary. Be sure to consult with a professional to determine which treatments are best for you, and always inform your therapist or esthetician of any health concerns or allergies you may have.
