Give Mom or Your Wife a Relaxing Spa Day This Mothers Day!

Apr 10

Mothers bring an infinite and endless type of love to their households. And our mothers play an influential role in who we turn out to be as we get older. Oftentimes we become so caught up in the demanding realities of life that we take for granted the love and support from those around us. And more than likely, your mom is one of those first loved ones standing by your side, ready to hold your hand when you need that support.

Many of us also tend to forget the emotional toll that being a mother can take on someone. Majority of moms lose a sense of identity at some point throughout their motherhood. They are essentially dedicating themselves to other humans. And as she gives all of her love and care to those around her she forgets to give that same love and care to herself. So as lovely as a bouquet of flowers or a fancy dinner may be for a mothers day gift, a spa day for her and her only will always be a timeless and considerate gift to give.

When it comes to gifting gifts to the important people in our lives it can be difficult to decide what’s best. Money is often an easy option for gifts but lacks a personal touch. And making sure you find a gift that someone likes or a gift that they will actually use can feel intimidating. But one of the best ways to treat that special mother in your life is by treating her to an amazing day at the spa.

Some people are not as familiar with the offerings that a spa provides and may assume that it’s just a place to get massages and relax. But spas can offer a variety of relaxing services. Allow your mom to indulge in specific services that you choose for her or let her curate a selection of services that best aligns with her desires and what she feels is necessary. Many people struggle to recognize the need to take care of themselves. And mothers are some of the main people that forget the value of self care. Booking a spa day for her forces that “supermom” or that mom on-the-go to stop and take care of her health.

From massages, facials, and waxes to eyelashes, mani pedis, body scrubs, and hot tub escapes, that mother figure in your life will be sure to find something she loves at a spa. Below we will take a deeper look into the multiple services that your mom or your significant other can indulge in for Mother’s Day.

MASSAGES

Professional massages allow for a licensed masseuse to give a massage that best fits the needs of your body. When it comes to massages it is important to remember that there are multiple options. Swedish is always a good option for a beginner as it doesn’t use as much pressure as a deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massages are better for individuals who want

their massages to include deeper pressure and target their main problem areas. But giving that special lady in your life a Swedish massage may be a better option if she’s never gotten a massage previously. Many beginners need to experience a basic massage before jumping into a deep tissue massage as it can be too much pressure for some.

Other common massages include aromatherapy and hot stone. Aromatherapy utilizes oils during the massage and can be a great option since certain scents play a role in reducing stress and anxiety. Hot stone massages allow the masseuse to utilize another tool throughout the massage. The tool that they use is a warm stone that not only helps to reduce the stress in your body, but also allows them to better target those hard to reach tense spots. So no matter what that special lady in your life needs, she will be sure to find a massage that suits her best.

FACIALS

Facials are always a great option to revive your skin. Just like massages, facials can also be customized to fit your specific needs if necessary. They are used to minimize the appearance of pores, reduce hyperpigmentation, and remove dirt and dead skin. Getting regular facials helps the skin to shed those dead skin cells since it slowly loses its ability to quickly do so as we age. The best way to look at facials is as a deep cleanse for the skin every now and then.

WAXES

Waxes can help prevent ingrown hairs since they remove hair from the roots. Shaving can be a tedious process as it includes razors that can create razor burns or cuts. And laser hair removal can be just as tedious with results that aren’t necessarily permanent. Waxing helps hair grow back slower and thinner. And waxes can be uncomfortable for some, especially if it is not a shaving method they typically use. But the temporary discomfort can be very well worth it and a nice addition to a spa day intended to treat the body from head to toe.

GEL MANI PEDIS

Manicures and pedicures can be just as therapeutic and relaxing while also promoting the health of your nails if done right. Whether your mother or wife is looking to express her creativity through a new set of nails or looking for a classy and put together look, mani pedis give her the time to focus on herself down to the details. Gel nails offer a more durable alternative to regular nail polish. The nails typically last between 2-3 weeks and leave a shinier appearance. They also protect the natural nails better than an acrylic nail.

EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Eyelash extensions are also services that can be performed at select spas. Although not for everybody, they give the wearer a wide range of options. From more natural looks, styles intended to make a statement, and everything in-between, you are sure to find a look that best suits you. In addition, lash extensions can be a great alternative to mascara. They allow you to protect your natural lashes while creating a longer and fuller appearance if done properly by the right lash technician. Many people also struggle with insecurities when it comes to their natural lashes and adding the extra length can be a confidence booster for many women.

BODY SCRUBS

Think of body scrubs as exfoliators, but for your body. These scrubs remove dead skin cells while also promoting softness, clarity, less discoloration, and unclogged pores in the skin. While massages add pressure to your skin, body scrubs can be a great addition as they help promote a healthy surface to the skin. They add a nice touch to a relaxed body by allowing your skin to feel just as relaxed.

HOT TUBS

Allow your mom to finish off all of her spa services with a relaxing hot tub session. This will not only further relax the body but also decrease stress and anxiety. Reduced blood pressure is another benefit that can attract people. And feeling sleepy is a normal feeling to feel after a good massage. So ending your spa day with a nice trip to a hot tub is what will further promote an even better sleep afterwards.

CONCLUSION

Ultimately, each of these spa services are intended to boost both your mental and physical health. If one option doesn’t work then there is always an alternative that can better suit that individual's needs. And above all else, designating a day to the spa can simply be a confidence booster. Feeling good about yourself can seem taboo or can be taken the wrong way. But genuinely feeling better about your skin and in-tune with your body’s health can spark a type of inner confidence that exudes outwardly.

The great thing about spas is that they often consider every aspect of the relaxation process. Relaxation goes beyond a basic massage. The variety of service options allow for multiple parts of the body to be at ease as well as one's mind. Who knows, maybe that one spa day you end up booking for that prominent mom figure in your life will change the way she looks at taking care of herself? Maybe by giving someone an excuse to treat themselves you open their eyes to what may end up being a routine trip for her in the future.
