Spa Products To Take Home

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

There are lots of reasons for indulging in a spa day but the problem is how to maintain the glow you get from the experience. That’s especially true with manicures or pedicures.Beautiful hands are an important part of a woman’s personality and the treatments available can reduce lines and wrinkles, brighten skin tone, hydrate the hands and relieve aching joints.

Some leading spas have a series of beauty products products that can be used domestically without needing a therapist or special equipment and many of these products are “as used” in the spa’s own treatments.There are soothing and cooling products that will carry on the good work at home after the treatment is just a happy memory, extending the sense of well being, improving mood and enhancing health. These at least allow you to extend the benefits of the indulgent treatments you’ve experienced as part of the Spa day and are essential for those who don’t have the time to actually attend a session at the spa of their choice.They are a reminder of the indulgent treatment enjoyed and often spa quality products to pamper hands, feet, legs and face are often superior to commercially available alternatives.During pregnancy women have to take even more care of their skin and overall health, so many mums to be prefer to use spa quality cosmetics and creams specially developed with pregnancy in mind.These luxurious products help to soothe, calm and nourish tight, stressed skin.

You may not be able to give yourself a massage for example, but you can at least rediscover the relaxation of the manicure treatment you received at home by doing it yourself and recreating the complete relaxation of fabulous manicure and pedicure spa treatments. Nail shaping, cuticle care and polish can be done alone or with a friend and products that can be applied domestically include a foot massage cooling mask to make feet feel revitalized soft and truly pampered while heel balm is equally easy to apply yourself.

Hand Care Means You Care

Hands can tell anyone a number of things about yourself. How you lead your life and how you take care of your body and skin. It’s the condition of your hands that give away your age, no matter how old you are and how much makeup you use.Above all, hands are the most important practical and communication tools you have. You couldn’t work without hands. They give you that lovely touch, let you eat, cook, greet others and play a vital role in communication. Life without hands is unimaginable. Beautiful hands are an important part of a woman’s personality and help you express that to yourself and others.

Hand care is therefore not just a desirable extra when it comes to your wellness regime.It’s an absolute essential that goes far beyond a manicure, excellent though that may be. The skin at the back of hands is soft and thin and shows wrinkles easily while the palms are relatively thicker and tougher. The hands do not have any sebaceous glands so they have no natural moisture and can get dry and rough. They need protection and lubrication as part of a spa day treatment programme. You should keep a moisturising cream near the hand basin and whenever you wash your hands, you should apply it. After washing, pat your hands dry and massage them with the moisturiser.

You can get spa gift vouchers for treatments such as an anti-ageing hand rescue manicure that helps to plump out lines and wrinkles, brighten skin tone and reduce pigmentation and includes an anti ageing exfoliation and mask for the hands.Luxurious manicures using Jessica hand care products for example not only nourish the hands and cuticles but also employ thermal mittens to relieve aching joints.To maintain the appearance that you’ve just achieved as part of the spa day, always wear cotton-lined rubber gloves while doing any household work that involves harsh detergents like doing laundry or dish washing and always wear gloves when gardening. And try to aviod team building events where you climb over walls and roll in mud.
