It’s hard to believe summer vacation has come to an end, but new adventures await during the fall semester. You might be nervous (especially if you’re a freshman), and that’s understandable, but the transition doesn’t have to be difficult. Ease into the new term with a spa day to help you start the semester off relaxed and refreshed. What kind of mental and physical benefits can a day at the spa offer? Keep reading.
Some people prefer to wear little to no clothing during a spa service, which can be intimidating to individuals who have never tried it. As a result, you go in feeling self conscious. The thing is, the experience actually tends to make you more comfortable in your own skin, having taken the risk to be exposed and vulnerable. Beyond this, treatments like massages, mani/pedi and facials make your features and your skin look good—and as the adage goes, “When you look good, you feel good, too.” That rejuvenation provides a springboard to propel your success and positive attitude as the new semester begins.
Heading into a new academic year brings social and academic challenges. Face them head on with an improved mood and outlook! Aside from the confidence boost, spa services can enhance your happiness as you look to the upcoming school year. Don’t believe us? Services like massages release serotonin—the brain’s happy hormone—creating that chemical response which produces those happy, hopeful and positive mental vibes. You’ll be better able to settle in and enjoy the high school or college experience.
Relaxation and energy. Mutually exclusive? Not necessarily. If you’re the type who feels most at ease when there’s a bit more fuel in your mental tank, the invigoration provided by wraps, massages and aromatherapy will leave you centered. Citrus oils like orange and lime, as well as herbs like rosemary and thyme, supercharge energy levels so you can tackle anything. Who needs to drink coffee in college? Just hit the spa once in awhile for that boost needed during exams and big projects.
Of course, we can’t ignore the physical benefits of spa visits because that’s a prime reason why folks visit us each day. Massages and facials just feel good, enhancing your wellbeing simply by engaging with the service. But add another layer to it: are you recovering from an injury or illness? Massages increase circulation and provide a means of pain management and tension reduction, helping you feel better faster. You can also get a bit of an immune boost during spa experiences, because massages increase white blood cell production. You’ll already be dragging with a rough courseload (and maybe a few too many parties), so cut yourself some slack with a spa visit.
Are you thinking of a massage or therapeutic wrap? College is a challenging time, so take advantage of opportunities to relax when you can. You’ll enjoy this part of your journey so much more.
