The Quest For The Perfect Spa Break Goes On
Many women around the world have been bitten by the bug - maybe it was the run up to their wedding day and they needed to relax and get away from it all, or perhaps they were whisked away for Mothers Day or another special occasion - or maybe they just decided they needed some valuable 'me' time. Whatever the reason, the spa industry is becoming a force to be reckoned with, and spa breaks are continuing to grow in popularity
So what exactly is the perfect spa break? Of course, it all depends on your needs and taste, and what treatments you would like to have. Before you book your spa break it's worth doing some research to discover the latest innovations and treatments on offer today, as you join the quest for the perfect, pampering experience
The Ultimate Spa Break
Google 'Spa Breaks' or 'New Spa Treatments' and you will be hit with a massive amount of information on the latest sometimes weird and often wonderful treatments you can have during a spa break. The latest craze is for eco-friendly treatments, or as 'eco' as possible - for example, instead of a hot stone massage you can now have a hot shell massage. Hot stones require electric heating, whereas tiger-striped clam shells from the South Pacific heat up naturally - all you need is Lavagel, a combination of salt water activator and a blend of minerals, sea kelp and algae. This is put inside the shells, they heat up naturally and your therapist places them on your arms, legs, shoulders and back to relieve any muscle tension while you float off to relaxation heaven.
After a spa break, you want the kind of healthy glow that leads people to comment on how well you are looking, but you also want your body to return in tip-top shape, and spa's across the UK are increasingly looking at both elements in one treatment - Elemis now offering both in their 'face and body' sensation package. Here you can choose from a range of massages, team them with the facial you want and go home fully pampered.
Energetic Experiences
p>If you are a spiritual person, and would like a more holistic spa experience, energy medicine is causing a buzz in wellness circles - therapies such as reiki, chakra-balancing, healing touch and magnetic light and sound therapy are becoming more popular as we all seek to nurture our inner selves. A spa break revolving around these types of treatment will focus on clearing imbalances in the body's energy field to promote natural healing.
Whether you are looking for a simple massage, an eco-friendly facial or to re-align your chakras, the quest for the perfect, pampering spa break is an enjoyable one. Take some time out to discover the latest trends, enjoy yourself along the way and you will soon become a spa devotee.
