During the holidays to combine business with pleasure, you can literally plunge headlong into the local culture. Check out your hotel’s SPA center.
Europe: France, Italy, Germany
Choose facial massage. During the procedure, the muscles of the face relax, the circulation of blood and lymph accelerates. And this means that the metabolism and the process of cell regeneration are stimulated. The skin becomes firmer, looks younger and more attractive. There is an effect of real relaxation and rest. The tone and elasticity of the tissues returns, swelling and dark circles under the eyes decrease, the complexion is leveled. For the massage, additional cosmetic preparations are often used, which contribute to even better hydration and nutrition of the skin. The complex effect of the massage itself and the active ingredients gives an excellent SPA result.
In Europe, there are three main facial massage techniques:
● Classical - with a variety of strokes and rubbing. For him, they usually use cream or massage oil of the brand that a particular SPA salon works on. This massage is especially useful for women after 35 years, when the facial muscles lose their tone, the skin is dehydrated, wrinkles appear and you want to look better.
● Plastic - involves rhythmic, strong, pressing movements. This is a very dynamic technique, and it is unlikely that during such a massage you can plunge into a sweet nap. But the result is immediately obvious: the skin turns pink, there is a tone, swelling disappears.
● Plucked - Jacques massage. The famous Madame Jacques believes that only such a massage can give a real result and if you conduct it in courses, then no plastic is needed. And she is in many ways right! The procedure lasts only 20 minutes, but the face receives a real fitness training. During the session, each muscle of the face is worked out. Most of all - the most inactive muscles, because it is in them that you need to breathe life.
Be sure to read the contraindications. Do not sign up for a session with dermatitis, allergies, if a fever pops up.
Summer memories will be brighter if you bring a jar of local cosmetic products from vacation. From Europe it makes sense to bring the funds of your favorite brands. Here, their cost is 20-30% lower than in Russia. And you can not worry about quality.
Turkey
What to choose? Of course turkish hammam, which helps to stabilize weight, cleanses and heals the skin. Unhurried procedures make it possible to relax perfectly, relieve fatigue.
The procedure begins with a sauna. Then the client is laid on a warm stone in the center of the bath or a marble bench, walked with a rough mitten throughout the body, then massaged with soap foam. By the way, if you want a woman to massage, warn in advance. The attendant whips the foam with a cloth like gauze with a piece of olive soap. A good bath attendant will definitely check before a foam massage whether you warmed up well, because the pores should open. Then the procedure will be most effective. Also, the attendant will definitely ask whether to wash his face and hair. Do not refuse! But keep in mind that the face will be treated with the same mitten as your heels, and your hair will be washed with the same foam from olive soap. The effect of a real, genuine Turkish hammam can be easily assessed by standing on the scales.
If you have very sensitive skin, be sure to warn the attendant so that you do not get unpleasant abrasions and abrasions from a massage mitten. There are also contraindications - fungal infections, eczema.
Greece
This resort offers ubiquitous thalassotherapy - A paradise for vacationers weary of a megalopolis.
During the procedure, each cell in the body receives a shock dose of vitamins, minerals and trace elements from sea water, algae, mud, salts, estuary silt. It is impossible not to notice the result - the skin instantly acquires a tone, a pleasant lightness appears in the body. We especially recommend that you pay attention toalgal andmud wraps - in Greece they are the most popular. A special biomass of algae is applied to the skin, the body is wrapped with a dense tissue or film and wrapped in a thermal blanket. An increase in temperature promotes the penetration of active substances into skin cells. Edema disappears, blood supply improves, and, most importantly, cellulite becomes less noticeable. They have a similar effect.mud wraps. Healing mud neutralizes toxins, tightens the skin.
During the procedure, micro-circulation and metabolism are improved, the breakdown of adipose tissue is activated. Useful minerals are intensively absorbed and immediately begin to work for the benefit of our body. Don't be surprised if you start sweating a lot. This is very good, so the process has begun! It is no accident that mud wraps are used in weight correction programs, cellulite treatment, anti-aging skin care.
People with varicose veins and cardiovascular diseases will have to abandon such wraps.
For memory of holidays in Greece, bring soap made from olive oil, it gives a moisturizing effect. Next in the list is a sponge made of natural sponge. It is only in appearance that it seems coarse and tough, but upon contact with water it becomes very tender and at the same time perfectly exfoliates dead skin cells. Finally, buy almond oil. It is sold in small shops and is poured into cute bottles. You will not regret - no one has come up with the best tool for cuticles and nails.
Thailand
This country is famous thai massage, which can be equated to an effective therapeutic and anti-aging procedure, when it is done by a competent master. Therefore, it is worth visiting only massage parlors or SPA at the hotel.
During the massage, energy points and lines on our body are actively massaged, which tone all body systems. Cells get an impulse for regeneration, muscles are strengthened, immunity becomes stronger. Each movement in Thai massage is aimed at stretching the muscles and, therefore, at improving joint mobility. And such a massage perfectly relieves any tension and significantly improves mood.
You should not go for a massage and rely on its healing effect with pronounced poor health.
Bring aloe gel as a gift - this is nowhere else. It soothes the skin after the sun, relieves itching and redness, and also pleasantly cools, moisturizes.
