Prolonging the Effects of Your Treatment
We've provided aftercare instructions to prolong the results of your spa visit.
Prolonging The Effects Of Your Massage
• After your massage, drink plenty of water through the next two to three days
• Eat light foods and try to rest after the treatment
• Do not engage in any stressful activity if possible. If working out at the gym, it is not recommended to lift weights after a deep tissue massage
• Enjoy the application of oils from the treatment as they continue to moisturize your skin
• Moist heat (i.e. hot water packs) and ice can be used alternately for 10 minutes on areas of soreness to heal the areas where deeper massage work was performed
• Soak in a hot bath with Epsom salts
• It is not uncommon to feel soreness after a massage. The massage therapist has uncovered an area where there is a lot of tension. Alternating hot and cold compresses on the area of soreness will help, as well
Prolonging The Effects Of Your Facial
• Drink plenty of water after your facial
• It is not recommended to apply make-up right after your facial, it may affect the texture of your skin (we find people break out, it seems, from applying make-up right after their facial)
• Always wear an SPF to prevent further sun damage
• Start with one or two product recommendations from your esthetician as you begin a skin care regimen
• Refrain from picking any blemishes as it may cause scarring to the skin
• Keep your skin well moisturized; it makes for easier extractions during your facial
Prolonging The Effects Of Your Wax
• Any redness caused by waxing usually goes away by the end of the day
• Take lukewarm showers for two days after your wax
• No exfoliating on the area that was just waxed for two days
• After two days, you can go back to your regular temperature showers
• Start exfoliating with a body polish or loofah on the area the was waxed
• If you see ingrown hairs, we have an array of products that will exfoliate the dead skin that traps the hair in the follicle
• It is best not to shave in between your wax visits, the hair will come in short and stubbly making your next wax service painful
• If you come in contact with direct sunlight, including a tanning booth, you should wear an SPF
