Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)
A few factors to be considered when choosing a spa are location and intention. The location of the spa is important so you can calculate your budget, preferences, and time needed to be spent while relaxing in the spa. Next the intention of the spa trip. Either you are going on a healing journey or simply relaxing from a hard day of work.
Similar to tourism, spas also has many types or categories that help them distinguish from each other. There are a wide variety of spas to choose from according to your mood or intention. Some of the spas available include a day spa, mineral springs spa, destination spa, resort or hotel spa, club spa, and medical spa. You may choose a spa that is suitable for you and your budget.
Depending on the treatment you’re getting, it is generally accepted to drink or consume food a few hours usually 2-4 hours before the spa treatment, but it is advised to keep it light. Avoid going to treatment especially massages with an empty stomach as the relaxing effect of the massages might cause your blood sugar level to be lowered.
There is no fixed answer for this question. You may stay awake if you would like to. But it is really up to you if you want to stay awake the whole time or just succumb to the relaxing effect and fall asleep. If anything, some aestheticians find it flattering when a customer falls asleep during a treatment, proving the massage is calming enough.
Not necessarily, except if you’re doing wraps, massages, and scrubs. If you’re having a facial, the therapist might ask you to remove your top so they can spread the cream to your face, neck, and chest area. Fret not! These are all done by professionals but if you are uncomfortable taking off your garments you may tell the workers or masseuse before starting treatment and see if they can give you an alternative. After all, your comfort comes first.
It depends on your need to unwind and your level of stress. In general, people usually go to spas bi-weekly basis, but some also go ⅔ times a month if they are exposed to a high-stress level. There is no such thing as too much if you are going anytime you are looking to elevate your mood.
It is recommended for you to not get too many facial treatments. You may enjoy your facial treatment, and it is definitely good for you and your skin. However, your skin may suffer if you see your aesthetician more than every two weeks. Unless you are following medical guidelines to treat a specific skin condition, stick to a once-a-month facial schedule. It is safer to not have something too much and this “rule” is applicable too for the beauty treatment that you will receive while in the spa.
The most common treatments that you will get while at the spa are massage, facial treatment, and body therapy. For your information, the field of massage therapy encompasses a variety of practices. For instance, deep tissue massages use firm pressure throughout the body with extra focus on trouble spots. An enjoyable method to relax with a lovely aroma while simultaneously releasing knots is to incorporate essential oils into a massage.
The Muslim-friendly spa is one of the spas that offers professional spa services in accordance with Islamic or Shariah law in terms of services, management, and products.
You may pamper yourself without being massaged by the opposite gender or sharing the spa room with the opposite gender in Muslim-friendly spas. Here are some Muslim-friendly spas, especially for Muslim women, with exclusive private rooms:
Anggun Spa, Bayu Spa, Muslimah Salon and Spa, Akma Spa, and Urban Retreat Spa.
(I) Helping cure sleeping problems: A relaxation spa induces the sense of relaxation and relief required for a good night’s sleep. Your internal heat level rises as a result of the warm water, which helps to relax your muscles and lessen the pressure on your body. All of these things working together can help you sleep better and feel less worn out.
(II) Toxic elimination: Spa treatments are a great buddy to your skin since warm temperatures allow skin pores to open. While you relax in warm water, your skin pores will open, clearing your body of all toxins and debris. This detox effect will eventually result in more clear skin and a noticeable improvement in your overall health.
(III) Reduce stress: Spa treatments provide a calming impact that benefits emotional health in addition to physical health. Physical relaxation results in a wonderfully revitalised mind, which ultimately drives away mental stress.
