Ah, the spa. A small slice of heaven on earth. A place to unwind, to de-stress and to relax, a place where one can shed off her worries away. A place where you can entrust yourself to gentle, caring hands and feel yourself healed, renewed and made beautiful again. Going to the spa is the perfect treat you could give yourself after a week�s worth of hard work. Heavenly spa!
But as much as going to the spa does wonders to our physical and emotional well-being, we have to bear in mind that we are not the only ones who go to the spa to shake away the aches, the stress and the worries. There are others who need the same benefits that a spa gives, and thus, you should show consideration for these others with you.
What are the no-nos that you should avoid committing when you are at the spa?
- 1. Always arrive early for your appointment. If your appointment is for, say 3:00 PM, you should show up at least 20 minutes earlier so you can change and relax. Come earlier if you feel you could use the steam bath or sauna.
2. Stop talking about your problems with your life at the spa. You are there to relax and to forget about them for a while. Talking about what concerns you are facing will not help you do that; instead, you will just stress yourself out.
3. If you have to go and work out before going to the spa, do not go there all soaked with sweat. Show some respect for the therapist who will work on your body.
4. Wash the chlorine off immediately after emerging from the Jacuzzi. Prolonged exposure to chlorine is bad for the skin.
5. The spa is a place to relax. Therefore, turn your cellphone off when you are in it. The cellphone is a stress object and talking to someone through it will only disturb the other customers.
6. The therapists and the staff of the spa are not your servants, so you shouldn�t order them about. If you want them to do a good job, treat them with respect and courtesy.
7. Healing takes time. One massage will not cure all the aches and pains in your body, so don�t complain if you still feel some pain after your session. Instead, book your next appointment and make sure that you show up for it.
8. Take your time and do not be in too much of a hurry to get back to your life after your treatment. You must take time off and rest to get the most out of it. You can�t heal if you won�t rest.
9. Be generous and don�t forget to tip your therapist.
10. Avoid having a big and heavy meal after your massage. Rest and take it easy, and drink lots of water.
The whole point of going to the spa is to give your body the rest that it needs. But as the spa is the kind of place to just do that, you should also do your share and give others the chance to enjoy it.
