SPA is good for Health

Nowadays, SPA is no longer defined as beauty therapies but is functional as healing and nourishing our body and mind simultaneously. SPA is having a significant changed in today’s modern world. As from my observation, my colleagues or friends will visits to the SPA centre maybe weekly or twice in a month. Feedback from them that the major reason they willing to pay to visit the SPA is for stress relief, pampering themselves after a tiredness day, reducing ageing and detoxifying their body.

If you are having a proper SPA treatment, you will directly obtain those benefits as below. SPA could enhance our body’s energy flow and flexibility. It’s help in blood circulation which will lead to reducing high blood pressure and hypertension symptom. Of course, relaxation SPA also reducing the effects of ageing and soothing tired muscles especially for those who having ergonomic problem. Besides, detoxifying the body and stimulating circulation, Spa also helps in reducing insomnia, migraines and headaches.

Tips for a Luxury Home SPA:
Tidy Up your bathroom and clean the bathtub thoroughly (if you have bathtub). For more indulgence, you may put in some rose petals in your bathtub.










Yet, the most vital thing for home SPA is Privacy. So, ensure that you have at least 1 ½ hours of uninterrupted time just for you. In addition, you might wish to have some Relaxing Music in your bathroom. Choose the right calming melodies can eliminate your stress. Of course, it is not difficult to play music in bathroom nowadays as you can use those portable devices such as IPod or hand phone walkman.

Next, try to Lighting the bathroom with scented or unscented candle which will create a very soothing mood.










Now we need to prepare the Bath Products which also play a vital role for home SPA. You can prepare bath oils / shower gel, bath salt / body scrub and skin moisturizing oils / cream, and preferable is Lavender scent. As Lavender scent is works as a very good aromatherapy which will calming your body and mind.

At the same time, you could have some Beauty Treatment for hair and face as well. Apply the conditioning or intensive shine mask treatment for your hair and put on a hydrating or purifying mask on your face. When you are ready to get out from the bathtub, you can exfoliate your whole body with Body Scrub and Bath Accessories that will help remove dead skin cells and leave your skin softener and smoother.













By the way, lately I am using the African SPA salt scrub from body shop and I feel that this scrub is totally different with other scrub products. Now, my skin becomes fairer and smoother. Yet, the most vital part of this salt scrub is it is also works for detoxifying. From my friend experience, he told me that his old scar also like lighten after two weeks he apply the salt scrub. The “Africa SPA Salt Scrub” cost for RM112, but if you buy it when promotion period you could entitled for a 10% + 10% discount.

After a luxury bathtub treatment, you can apply a moisturizing cream to your body. Maybe many of you might complain that the moisturized cream is oily and sticky, as I also have the same experienced before.


Yet, after I tried this Africa SPA Rich Body Balm, the previous thought of moisturized cream is sticky no longer exist in my mind. After applying the body balm, it is easily absorbed by my skin and the vital is that I won’t feel anymore oily and sticky. The “Africa SPA Rich Body Balm” cost for RM66, but if you buy it when promotion period you could entitled for a 10% + 10% discount.





Lastly, you can also include a massage at home SPA treatment. Of course, that will be great if your partner willing to provide you a body massage. If not, you still can use a self-massager / massage roller to massage your body.

When massage, you can apply the relaxing Lavender massage oil over your body. This massage oil is non-oily at all and the Lavender scent easily absorbs into your body that makes you more calming and you might fall asleep.
