Top 10 Spa Trends

Because I go through a lot of reading material, I love the snappy top 10 lists. Here is Spa Finder's prediction for their top spa trends in the new year:

1. The Star Therapist: Spas and spa-goers will learn to recognize and appreciate the really gifted therapists.
   
2. Wellness, Wellness, Wellness: Spas are not so much about pampering anymore as they are about wellness.
3. Luxury Detox and Luxury Bootcamps: There is nothing wrong with mixing comfort and luxury while detoxing and getting in shape.
4. Spa Real Estate Mania: There are many options now to buy a condo or home where the spa component is a key feature.
5. Taking Sleep Seriously…Especially if you want to Lose Weight: Research shows healthy sleep makes it easier to lose weight.
6. Fertility Tranquility: Relaxing at a spa is good for your body, mind, spirit…and conception.
7. Hydro and Thermal Super-Experiences: Explore the large variety of beautifully designed water and heat experiences at spas - hot saunas, steam grottos, ice caves, etc.
8. Urban Spa Explorer: Generation X, Y and others are discovering spa "gems" in the ethnic community of cities; Korean scrubs, Thai massages, Shiatsu, etc. often at no frills prices.
9. Plug-in or Unplug: It's up to You: Some spas don't allow you to use your phone or Blackberry yet other spas do. Some spas have sections for each.

Detoxing Body Scrub

Dry skin is a real issue with the indoor heat and outdoor chill. I tried a body scrub from Daniella Body Care that has solved the dryness caused by the season. The entire line of products are all natural, carefully selected ingredients, and made by hand. The Detoxing Salt Scrubs are wonderful for exfoliating and detoxing! The raw salt from the Dead Sea contains 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, sulphur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium. These minerals help maintain moisture, promote healing of skin tissue, and relieve stiffness and muscle cramps. The essential oils in the scrub nourishes the skin, leaving your skin hydrated and smooth for the rest of the day. The body scrub can also be used for soaking in a bath or as a foot scrub.

Visit the Daniella Body Care web site to see the complete line of body scrubs and essential oils. Check out the page “Learn” and find out about the ingredients and their benefits and uses. I loved reading this page and learning about the products that I’m applying to my body. Knowing that I’m using carefully selected natural ingredients that are beneficial to my mind and body reassures me that I’m treating my skin with lots of love.
