You Deserve It

When was the last time you were treated like Cleopatra? When was the last time you took out a day only to pamper yourself? When was the last time you felt deeply relaxed? If not in the past 3 months, which I am sure of, then lady you are not getting what you truly deserve.

Its December now and winter wrecks havoc on our skin, especially our hands and feet. I dont know about you but my lotion can hardly stand up to my dry and cracked skin! Poor maintenance of your skin in winters causes dead skin cells on your body which prevents your oil/lotion from penetrating in the skin causing winter itch. You can get rid of all that dead skin with salt glow treatments at most spas. If you think your face care regime is perfect, think again. Are you using products according to your skin type? Are they giving you results?

Take a facial at an experienced spa to deep clean your pores, blackheads and even acne. Make sure that the spa you visit uses finest quality products. There are different facials for different skin types. Many people have a belief that botanical and herbal facials are good for their skins but sometimes they can be very harsh on the skin. Its safer to go for a facial that uses hypoallergenic products and ones that dont block your pores.

If nothing else, get a relaxing body massage. Massages are great for the body and mind too. They tone the muscles and keep the skin healthy. Unlike most of our home-massage experiences, massages are not mere rubbing the skin with oil! Almost all of us take massages at home through a maalish waali ben and thus we dont realize what an exhilarating experience a true spa massage is. Spa massages can cure sleep problems, depression, muscles and joint problems too. Let me share with you the most effective and popular spa massages Orient Spa located in Cambay Resort at Gandhinagar
offers -:

Hot Stone Therapy A very luxurious treatments, hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones dipped in warm oil. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage.

Deep Tissue massage Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense.

Aromatherapy massage Aromatic oils are chosen according to the need like insomnia, relaxing, calming, energizing etc and a gentle but soothing massage is performed. This treatment is especially good in fighting depression and loneliness.

Swedish massage Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improves flexibility and creates relaxation. Orient Spa also offers specialty localized massages like back massage, massage for back or joint pains, pregnancy massage and more.

If you have joint pain/arthritis, here is a simple tip for you. An early morning soak in a hot tub provides temporary relief from arthritis pain and helps you feel better throughout the day. The heat from the warm water dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow to damaged tissues and accelerates the body's natural healing process. Hot water reduces pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.

Another tip for all those ladies who are fond of long hot water showers in winters. Sounds tempting but can lead to red veins on the face. Hot water can dilate the small capillaries and may burst them leading to red exposed small capillaries on the face. Most vulnerable areas are lower lips and nose sides. So now you know that warm water is better than hot water and keep your warm bath short. It strips off the natural moisture layer of the skin. Winters dont mean that you need not worry about sun damage. Wear a sunscreen all throughout the day even when you have a nice tasty cup of tea in your verandah, terrace or garden!

Caring for your skin at home has its own limitations. Thus, regular visits to an experienced spa are must for any woman and even men who wish to look and feel healthy & young. Here are some extremely popular body treatment that Orient Spa offers.
