Spa visits have always been associated with luxury, but nowadays, more people have started to think of them as a necessity for better health and overall wellness. According to a recent survey, 47 percent of Americans attended a wellness event last year, while 24 percent are planning to go on a spa retreat. Having a relaxing massage, an invigorating body scrub, or a facial can do wonders for your health and mood. If you’re planning on going to the spa, enhance the healing effect of your visit by choosing natural treatments that can benefit your body, mind and spirit.

Vegan facial treatments

Creating a vegan beauty routine has become a priority for many people, and the demand for vegan skincare products and makeup has grown in the past year. To keep up with this trend, spas all over the country have also included vegan facial treatments on their respective spa menus. Some vegan facials yield the same results as a photo facial, which can increase the production of collagen to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in glowing and younger-looking skin.

A vegan treatment may start with a facial cleanser made from natural oils such as olive oil and jojoba oil, followed by the application of a seaweed mask. Licensed spas that offer vegan facial treatments make it a point to only use cruelty-free and vegan products, but if you’re unsure, you can call ahead before scheduling your appointment, and ask about the products that they’ll use for certain treatments.

Rice body scrub

The rice body scrub is about to become one of the biggest natural spa treatment trends, as its gentler than a salt scrub, and has more skin benefits. Nowadays, rice scrubs are already being offered in spas in certain countries in Asia, such as Vietnam. Locally grown rice is lightly pounded and blended with saffron, ginger, and sweet almond oil to create a natural scrub that is suitable for all skin types. A rice scrub can get rid of dead skin cells, increase blood circulation, even out skin tone, and even help to smooth out fine lines and brighten the skin, so give it a try if you want to have glowing skin.

A happiness bath

Since last year year, more people have been seeking positive ways to improve their mood and increase their happiness. Getting a massage can help to melt away stress and reduce anxiety, but for a happiness boost, try having a bath designed to increase feelings of joy. Some spas offer treatments during which you soak in warm water laced with ingredients such as grapefruit oil, which can combat depression, geranium oil, which can calm the mind, and tangerine oil, which can promote optimism.

If you can’t go to the spa, try creating a happiness bath in your home using the abovementioned ingredients. Add a drizzle of whole milk to the water to soften your skin, and try to relax and unwind while you soak.

Some of the best spa treatments use organic or vegan ingredients that can benefit your body, mind and soul to improve the way you look and feel. Consider these natural spa treatments for your health and wellbeing.
