Used to Booking Massages? Here Are 6 More Spa Day Activities You Should Try
When it comes to self-care, we're used to people telling us, "Just book a massage." Sure, it's nice to lay there and fall asleep while a professional kneads the tense knots out of your muscles, but we like to change up our routine from time to time.
If you, too, are on the hunt for new ways to relax, continue reading. We've gathered six more ideas to have the ultimate spa day.
Cryotherapy Chamber
A massage is a very intimate experience. A complete stranger is rubbing your body while you're not wearing any clothes! It's intense. A cryotherapy chamber will provide the same relief while allowing you to be totally alone. It's just a full hour of pure relaxation as you float around in water. Depending on your spa, you can also tailor the experience to suit your needs, whether its an ice bath or red light therapy.

Manicure and Pedicure
Nothing makes us feel better than looking better, so why not get the relaxation and the look with a mani-pedi combo? To get the peak spa experience, consider opting for a deluxe package rather than the standard one. For example, seek a leg scrub and paraffin hand dip for complete pampering.

Customized Facials
If you have stubborn acne or chronic dry skin, have you ever considered incorporating a professional facial into your self-care regime? We don't mean just heading to your local esthetician and picking the standard facial. Instead, get a facial analysis to understand your skin and its needs. Then, they'll create a custom treatment for you.
Hair Touch-Up
Does anyone else get super lazy during the winter? The below-zero temperatures makes us want to hibernate inside, inevitably not caring about our appearance. Still, we underestimate how much better we feel when we look our best. This season, get your roots touched-up and let the confidence roll in.

Body Waxing
Similar to our hair, we forgo shaving because our winter clothes cover our bodies. That said, we feel so much more chic when our legs are hairless. A wax is perfect for the cool January because your hair won't return until February (or March, if you're lucky).
Yoga Class
Maybe, your idea of self-care isn't about beauty. You might prefer focusing on your health. It's possible to work out your body and chill down in a yoga class. The precise movements will improve your core strength, while its deep breathing technique promotes lowered stress.
