Benefits of a Spa Day

Life’s stress can hurt us both mentally and physically. Being extra kind to yourself helps alleviate some of that stress and can put you in the right mind frame to tackle what's next. In this blog, we will go over what a spa day at Oliver’s could do for your mental and physical health as well as your confidence. After all, everyone deserves a spa day!

MENTAL HEALTH

As anxiety and depression is at an ultimate incline, we’re all looking for ways to keep ourselves motivated, calm and happy. At times, it becomes a struggle when day-to-day occurrences keep us on our toes. However, the purpose of this blog is to inform our readers that there are small things you can do for yourself that add up.

Keep yourself a priority. Find ways to relax. One of the biggest (and in my opinion most helpful) ways to relax is getting a massage. Massages are known to lower your production of cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone that is released when you’re actually feeling stressed. This hormone, once triggered, is a forever flowing river. Massages also increase your white blood cell count.

Massages of all kinds can also use essential oils, which are said to relieve stress and anxiety. Aromatherapy can be extra helpful as these oils are warmed and used in your massage. After a relaxing massage, you will feel as though you are ready to fall asleep. Nothing is better than a good night’s rest!

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Anytime you feel guilty about treating yourself to a spa day, remember; there are physical benefits to your services. For example, getting a manicure and pedicure can clean up dead skin and prolong the health and life of your nail. Regular manicures and pedicures can prevent fungi from growing under and around your nails.

Massages can work out any muscular pain you have while boosting your immunity and lowering your blood pressure. Facials can eliminate dead skin and restore your largest organ- your skin. A good, professional shampoo and/or scalp treatment can clean the dead skin from your scalp and promote hair growth. Waxing exfoliates the skin all while getting rid of pesky body hair.

CONFIDENCE

Look good, feel good, do good. I don’t know about you, but I live by this motto. Yes, it helps me deal with the fact that I may have a bit of a shopping problem, but we all do what we have to do. After a spa day, your confidence could boost. For example, if your gray hairs are showing and you come in for a touch up color, you walk out feeling so much better about yourself. Our vanity is worth much more than we like to think.

In a world where confidence can make or break someone, we want to help be a part of the “make” part. If you notice a whole bunch of blackheads and treat yourself to a facial with extractions, you will notice your skin glowing right away. This small, fine feeling will help you conquer the day, trust me. Looking our best helps us be our best.

ROUTINE?

Our mental and physical health as well as our confidence is important. How we feel on the inside and outside determines the kind of person we are, how we act and what we do. Spa days or services here and there need to be a part of your routine. Plus, who doesn’t love self-care? If you aren’t convinced by now, refer back to paragraph 1 and read through the entire blog again until it hits you. Take care of your body for it is your forever home!
