5 reasons why you deserve a spa day

Regardless of your career path, one thing is for sure; everyone deserves a day to relax and unwind. Homes of Distinction understands the stress that comes with modern living all too well-especially considering the high-paced and demanding nature of the real estate industry. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to feel rejuvenated! 

Whether you're buying or selling a home, dealing with the pressure load of work, or simply feeling down, we all need a recharge. While it's true that no one needs convincing for a day of pampering, there are indeed benefits over and above that make it worth your while.

A way to unwind

We all need to take a moment to gather ourselves and destress, and a relaxing spa day is indeed the best way to do it. Regardless of the treatment package you go for, you will immediately start to notice how quickly you begin to unwind as your mind feels at ease.

Not everyone can simply switch off on-demand. Sometimes we need a little coxing. So regardless of whether you prefer a hot stone massage or a Swedish facial, the element of relaxation is achieved in multiple ways at a day spa.

Your skin benefits too

As the superficial facade of our bodies, we all desire our skin to look the best it possibly can. Facials and treatments are geared towards rejuvenating and replenishing moisture levels and reducing the risk of acne and other unsightly marks like ageing lines and sunspots.

Whether you start at a young age or not, skincare through the right treatments is vital for your longevity. It's never too late to start caring for your skin, and setting yourself up with regular treatment packages may even help your skin look younger for longer.

A slow release of Serotonin and Dopamine

Known as the feel-good chemicals released in our brain, Serotonin and Dopamine are often released during moments of bliss or deep states of relaxation. In essence, regular spa days can effectively make you a happier person in the long run.

The body is an amalgamation of chemicals that are massive predictors of our mood and ability to think critically. Spa day treatments benefit both body and mind as, during the process of a relaxing massage, these natural feel-good chemicals are released. A lack of Serotonin, in particular, has often been linked to chronic and seasonal depression, which ultimately shortens our life spans.

Anti-Ageing Benefits 

As stated above, keeping our skin looking rejuvenated is vital since it doesn't exactly get better with age. Fun fact - our natural antioxidant production starts to decline in effectiveness around our mid-20s. And while our skin benefits from regular treatment, regular spa treatments help to maintain its youthful vigour for longer and essentially prevent the natural wear that gravity has on our bodies over decades of life.

Specific spa treatments are geared towards making our skin appear brighter, smoother, and radiant. From micro-needling to vein treatment and botox, fighting back the appearance of age is more accessible and less expensive than you think.

Reduces tension, headaches, and relieves pain 

Tension headaches, general aches, and pains come from various disorders you may suffer from due to stress. If this is the case, perhaps the art of massage is just the relief you're looking for. And while we would never state that massages cure chronic pain, they can help reduce these symptoms by tackling the cause of specific mental issues. Mainly anxiety and stress.

Treatments such as scalp massages and body-focused deep pressure massages help target specific pain areas. It's a gradual process that may require multiple treatments, but massages will work wonders in releasing tension in your muscles or in and around your temples and head.
