If there’s one thing everyone needs as 2020 comes to an end, it’s a bit of pampering and relaxation. Fortunately, there are many spas offering incredible specials on a range of treatment options, but it can be difficult to decide which treatment to ty first. If you’re looking to try something new and different, then these are the five best spa treatments to indulge in this year.

5 of the best spa treatments to try

1. Aromatic / Aromatherapy Massage

Using a specific blend of scented aromatherapy oils, a masseuse will alternate between gentle and harder pressure to target specific ailments. The inhaling of essential oils, as well as direct contact on the skin, is believed to have healing benefits. Some spas will enquire what ailments the client would like to target and mix aromatherapy oils ahead of treatment.

3. Summer Tan

With the warmer weather approaching, everybody is getting ready for beach season, which is why it’s time to start on that summer tan. Long gone are the days of blotchy, orange, extremely fake-looking tans, the modern spray tan techniques will leave you with an evenly-toned, natural look and much smoother skin. It’s best to opt for a full body exfoliation first, making sure all dead skin cells are removed before starting.

4. Body Exfoliation Treatment

There is nothing more invigorating than a full body exfoliation treatment, which leaves you feeling completely refreshed and healthy. The process will last between 30 minutes and an hour, with the beauty therapist using a mixture that includes some form of abrasive ingredient, such as wheat bran. This will deeply exfoliate the skin, removing all the dead skin cells while also hydrating the skin so it’s not left chafed.
