Healthy lifestyle choices are the new wave of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Celebrities love to be pampered to the max. They work long, hard hours on the set in addition to having to do a whole slew of interviews, endure tons of makeup applications and hair styling. Thus, celebs are very used to the luxury of indulgence, and they know exactly where to get pampered. They also engage in unique, holistic experiences. For example, Adele, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, Justin Beiber and Robert Downey Jr. enjoy a type deep tissue massage, such as cupping for healing, blood flow, relaxation and well-being.
You too can enjoy cupping and indulge in various full service treatments at hundreds of spas for only $50 during Spa Week, which occurs only twice a year. This spring, Spa Week is from April 17 to April 23th, and bookings start on March 20, 2017 — so be sure to mark those calendars.
This is a great opportunity to explore wellness in an extraordinary and affordable way. From holistic salt therapy centers to detoxify the respiratory system, to standing in a 160 degree Cryotherapy Chamber to reduce cellulite and improve circulation, these signature services — normally valued at anywhere from $100 to $500 — will be available for just $50 each. Bookings begin March 20th, so be sure to visit spaweek.com to book yourself and your BFF a few treatments.
Below are some great spa week treatments to explore.
- Get Salty — Looking for a natural treatment that is designed to help you purify your skin, clear your lungs and overall help you de-stress? Take a trip to visit the Hygea Wellness Co & Salt Room in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania for a Salt Therapy treatment (Spa Week $50, normally $100). There, you will bask in a quiet Salt Therapy room made of seven tons of Dead Sea salt and breathe in its surrounding salty and misty vapors. As you meditate and unwind from the outside world, the ions will draw out the pollution, infections and toxins in your body. Not only will you reap the physical benefits of improved breathing and clearer skin, you will leave feeling completely relaxed and refreshed — like a breath of fresh air.
- Freezer Friendly — Does the thought of a treatment where you freeze various parts of your body leave you with chills? Well, when you stop by the Carrollton Square Spa in Texas for a 50 Minute Cryotherapy Massage (Spa Week $50, normally $100), you’ll be joining the ranks of World Champion LeBron James and actress Demi Moore in using alternative methods to improve your health and minimize your pain. Carrollton’s targeted arctic treatment uses cryosticks during the massage to remove tension, promote rapid healing, and reduce the inflammation of muscles and joints. You can also visit the RonnaSkin Day Spa in Westminster, Colorado for a 60 Minute Results-Oriented MicroNeedling Treatment with Cryotherapy (Spa Week $50, normally $107). This facial concentrates on rejuvenating and revolutionizing your skin with small icy blasts that will increase collagen production and erase wrinkles.
- Face-less Facials — A facial…for your butt? Initially, we asked the same question but when we look at celebrities like J-Lo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian and their finely crafted assets, we can’t help but want to book an appointment at NYC’s Smooth Synergy for a Fanny Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $150). This sculpting treatment begins with an exfoliating scrub to smooth your backside, and then employs small zaps of microcurrents to your butt and upper-thighs to sculpt and lift your butt. A similar effect that you would get if you went to the gym to do squats. About an hour later, you’ll be left with a perky derriere and an overwhelming confidence to flaunt your newly contoured bottom down the street.
- Escape from the Man Cave — Don’t worry guys, Spa Week isn’t just for the ladies. If you’re facing a hairy dilemma, we’ve created the perfect treatment for you. The Bearded Boss Men’s Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $75) — at NYC’s very own KUR Skin Lab. There, your beard will be attended to with a series of soothing massages while the hair is thoroughly cleansed and the skin is exfoliated and moisturized. Your beard can also get the royal treatment that it needs in Indianapolis, Indiana with Pure Image’s Burly Beard Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $75). From its invigorating facial cleanse to a soothing massage, these alluring treatments are designed to build confidence and keep the beard soft and groomed — perfect for a night out on the town.
- Entering the Gemisphere — What do celebrities like Katy Perry, Adele, and Robert Downey Jr. have in common? They are all harnessing the special healing properties from crystals to ward off negative energy and promote healing and relaxation. To experience this modern day treatment, head down to The Spa at CopperWynd in Scottsdale, Arizona for an Amethyst massage (Spa Week $50, normally $120). This immersive body massage utilizes the ability of the gemstone as an infused oil to block and reduce pain. You will leave feeling physically and spiritually renewed.
