SpaHub Shares 7 Reasons Why People Should Treat Themselves to a Spa Day
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 24, 2013 -- Many people overwhelm their schedules with responsibilities and obligations, leaving minimal time to take care of themselves. Unfortunately, cutting-out time for self-care can take a significant toll on one’s overall health and well-being. SpaHub shares its 7 reasons why it is important for people to take the time to pamper themselves, free of guilt.
Here are SpaHub’s top 7 reasons why everyone should treat themselves to a day at the spa:
1) Improve Skin Care
Consistent visits to the spa can do wonders for the skin over time. Skin care treatments such as facials, micro-dermabrasion, and chemical peels keep skin looking young and radiant by exfoliating off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Many of the treatments can also battle off acne, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes.
2) Relieve Stress
In a fast-paced world faced with the pressure to do it all, it’s no wonder why Americans experience such high rates of stress and anxiety. While a little stress is perfectly normal, it’s important for people to set aside some time to take care of themself to prevent anxiety overload, which could lead to irritability, muscle soreness and tension, headaches, and social withdrawal. Day spas create the perfect environment for people to slow down, take a deep breath, and unwind.
3) Anti-Aging Benefits
Keeping one’s stress level in check and maintaining a proper skin care regimen can help to reduce the onset of wrinkles down the road. From Botox to chemical peels, SpaHub suggests that receiving an integrated regimen of spa treatments can have significant anti-aging benefits, including exfoliating dead skin cells, buffing off fine lines, and boosting collagen levels in the skin. Taking measures to keep skin healthy and stress minimized will help to prevent premature signs of aging.
4) Boosts Endorphins
A day at the spa can keep happiness from waning, as many of the treatments naturally boost levels of “feel-good neurotransmitters” in the body that signal pleasure and well-being, including serotonin, dopamine and beta-endorphins. The release of these chemicals in the body promote overall mental, emotional, and physical health, that is likely to have a positive impact on one’s social relationships and other facets of life.
5) Take Care of Your Muscles and Joints
Massage can be a very important spa treatment for reducing built-up tension in muscles and joints. Many people have jobs that involve hunching over a desk all day or running around from place to place. Massage can help people ease the discomfort felt from stiff, sore muscles, while ignoring the pain can significantly diminish overall enjoyment of regular activities. SpaHub recommends getting regular massages to keep aches and pains to a minimum.
6) Healthier Immune System
Spa treatments help to boost a body’s immune system by ridding it of toxins and impurities. Many of the treatments use oils, massage, steam, and/or exfoliating scrubs for detoxification, strengthening the immune system and in-turn, helping the body to fight off germs that cause illness and disease.
7) Rejuvenate
Sometimes gaining a fresh perspective can make all the difference in improving overall mood and well-being, but doing so is often easier said than done. A day at the spa helps re-energize one’s body and mind, awarding oneself with a renewed sense of purpose and focus to overcome life’s challenges and reach new goals.
SpaHub advises people not to think of a spa day as a frivolous luxury, but rather to view the time spent as an important regimen of self-care that promotes overall health, happiness, and well-being. Setting aside time for rest and relaxation is an important aspect of finding fulfillment and balance in life. Spas provide the perfect environment to disconnect from the noise and chaos of the outside world for people to find tranquility and time for reflection.
