The Most Popular Spa Treatments

Body Brushing

Using the gentle massaging action of a dry natural sisal brush is an easy and inexpensive way of stimulating the circulation and lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins from the client’s body. The elimination process of the body can become more effective, not only improving the appearance of their skin but also giving general health benefits - such as improving blood circulation and the immune system, improving the appearance of cellulite and reducing water retention, leaving the skin firmer and smoother. Dry Body brushing is often done in spas as part of detoxification and slimming treatments.

Body Exfoliation

These are used to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin and stimulates the blood and lymph circulation in the area that has been treated. Exfoliation stimulates the flow of blood to the surface of the skin and the products applied to the skin after exfoliation are easily absorbed in the dermal layers. Fine abrasive materials can be massaged over the surface of the skin to remove the hardened rougher layer of the skin and this will also remove any excess cells that have not been removed by the cleansing.

Training Will Include Deep Cleansing Back Treatment

This is like giving the back a full facial, demonstration will include the use of cleansers, exfoliators, steam, toners, masks, massage and a deep cleansing mask and application of hydrating lotions over the back, students will then work on each other.

The exfoliation should be carried out on a weekly basis to brighten up the complexion and refine the skin texture and can be extended to cover the whole body, offering repeat business.

Body Wraps

A popular treatment at most Salons and Spas. There are many types of spa body wrap treatments used for a variety of reasons, helping clients to tone, soften the skin and remove toxins, excess inches and water in the body. Usually made from a combination of natural minerals and herbs. The benefits are noticed right away and offer you repeat business.

A demonstration of the full body wrap using blankets with demonstration of the exfoliation process, followed by body mask, wrapping the body using a thermal foil blanket and towels and then mask removal (without shower)and then body moisturising will be given and students will then work on each other.

IF A COURSE IS FULLY BOOKED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND 

Information on how to get on the waiting list in case anyone drops out

The best and the quickest way you will be able to attend if someone cancels is to book onto the next date available that you can make and when filling out your details, there is a note box section within the booking form. You can request here that you can be moved to the earlier date if there are any cancellations so you can be prioritised and contacted if we have anyone drop out.

This way you do not miss out on the next date and if we get an earlier cancellation the tutor can contact you straight away to offer to move you to an earlier date as sometimes people cancel due to illness or they have to work etc.

However if you cannot make any of the other dates showing as available please contact us as sometimes the tutor can put on an extra date if the demand is there.
