The best spa tips for summer

Posted on wellness

Wellness is not just a luxury item but a necessity for body and soul! Try our 4 beauty tips for a great start to summer and for more beauty and wellbeing.

The spa area is not just about sweet relaxation. Integrate this precious and necessary time into your beauty calendar and find your way back to yourself (also to avoid countless emails), detox your body and get it in shape.

When you put on a bathing suit, do you immediately think of hot tub and relaxation? Then take advantage of the offers in the wellness areas and pamper yourself with new, exciting beauty treatments. This allows you to get the most out of your next spa visit and make the most of the many beauty and fitness benefits.

For more flexibility: Thai massage
Do you feel a bit stiff after a workout? Then treat yourself to a treatment that increases your flexibility and wellbeing through yoga poses, stretching and a wonderful massage.

A proper Thai massage can make all kinds of ailments, from headaches to inflammation, disappear. This type of massage is more precise and energetic than traditional massage. Painful areas or tensions can be loosened up and the body's self-healing process is stimulated.

Tip for you: Our Holmes Place Spa offers two types of Thai massages:
Ayurvedic massage relaxes muscles and joints, increases immunity and invigorates mind and body.
The second type is called shiatsu (meaning finger pressure) and focuses on specific points on the body to restore health.

For the skin: face and body scrub
With summer time approaching, it is now a top beauty priority that we take care of our skin so that it can glow and feel healthy. In addition to the fact that these treatments feel very pleasant, body and facial scrubs remove excess dead skin cells and dirt and oil from the skin. They free our pores and reveal the new, young and healthy layer of skin. Strong circular movements when massaging promote blood circulation and produce brightness and elasticity in our face, neck and body.

Tip for you: Ancestral Facial Rituals contain caviar extract and 24k gold alloy for anti-wrinkle treatments and skin resurfacing. However, you can also opt for the Smooth Skin body scrub. Your body is pampered and supplied with shea butter and volcanic particles (at just the right time before temperatures rise again).

For complete detoxification: body treatment
Are you feeling sluggish? Are you tired? Your body is signaling to you that it needs detoxification. Entire body treatments use special massage techniques to eliminate toxins on the one hand and to stimulate the mind and body through relaxation, balance, muscle tension and respiratory control on the other.

Tip for you: Opt for the ultimate detox and book one of our body therapy sessions. Lymphatic drainage is a special and gentle type of skin massage that allows lymphatic fluid to flow out of swollen areas of the body. We also offer intensive sports massages — one of the best tips after strenuous endurance training.

For pain relief: hot stone massage
Many people do not regard hot stone massage as a luxury treatment but as a necessity for optimal wellbeing. Originally, this method, which has an analgesic and calming effect, was used by the natives of North America to treat muscle pain. Expanding blood vessels and relieving pain requires deep relaxation.

Tip for you: If you have missed Stone Spirits therapy sessions by now, you will miss out on a wide range of benefits. The heat released by volcanic stones, which are rich in minerals, reduces muscle cramps, increases blood flow, promotes metabolism and alleviates pain.
