Deep Tissue Massage

This kind of massage is unlike any other. It’s purpose is to relieve muscle cramps and muscle tension. The process itself isn’t what you usually expect from a massage. It’s not soothing, it’s quite vigorous and can sometimes be a bit painful. So if you have sensitive skin and your pain tolerance level is very low, perhaps it’s not for you. However, if you decide to get a deep tissue massage, it will be worth it. After the procedure, you’ll feel very loose and more relaxed than you’ve ever felt. Regular massages usually concentrate on making you feel comfortable at that moment and are very soothing, which is great, but doesn’t have lasting effects. Deep Tissue massage works your muscles through and relieves all kinds of tension you might not be even aware of. It’s great for stress relief too.


Fish Therapy

Fish therapy is probably the most fun way to get a pedicure. You put your feet into a tank full of small fishes, and they nibble away at your dead skin. Don’t worry, they won’t bit into the skin that’s sensitive. It doesn’t hurt at all, and it’s effective. Instead of spending hours trying to buff your feet you can just let the little fish do the job for you and get some laughs out of it. It feels very strange at first, and if you’re very ticklish it might take a while to get used to, but the result is worth it, and the experience is fun and uplifting. Some people even find it to be relaxing, as they feel little fish swim in between their toes. So if you’re looking for a cool and fun way to get your feet ready for sandal season, try it out.

Hot Stone Massage

And the hot stones aren’t placed randomly. They are placed in certain parts of your body to relax your muscles with the help of the heat. It’s perfect for those who want to get rid of muscle tension but have sensitive skin. With this kind of massage, you don’t have to worry about getting your skin irritated.

Soaking in actual wine would dry out your skin, because it contains alcohol. For the wine bath, SPAs use a combination of water and grape leaf stalk. Grape leaves and branches contain a compound that fights aging and provides better circulation. The grapes themselves have a lot of antioxidants that help to brighten up the skin and help get rid of the irritation. So don’t try this at home, instead pamper yourself and go to a SPA and get one of their wine baths and grape massages. Your skin will thank you for it.
