Cooling Treatments: Revitalize Your Salon Menu for Summer

As summer approaches with the soaring temperatures and blistering sun rays it can be quite draining and exhausting. There isn’t a better time to seek relaxation and comfort through a spa day or week. It is technically the best time to revamp your spa menu with rejuvenating cooling treatments and make the summer months more bearable for your clients.

Here are some treatments and tips to elevate the spa menu while keeping it summery in essence.

Hydrating Facials:

Offering soothing treatments infused with Aloe Vera, cucumber and Hyaluronic Acid can help hydrate the skin naturally. An Aloe Vera facial includes using a face mask made from Aloe Vera gel and other natural ingredients made from honey, cucumber and turmeric. It can be a great natural facial for hydrating and replenishing the skin.

Tropical fruit facials:

Infuse the goodness of natural tropical fruits meant for the summer into our spa treatments, incorporating fruits like coconut, apricot, lemon and mango into specialized spa treatments is the way to go.

For example; Coconut infused treatments like;
Tropical coconut cream therapy at The Spa Oasis, The Grand, New Delhi
Leverage the summery goodness of coconut cream and cashews to cleanse and nourish. They use the best moisturizing quality of coconut cream derived from tender coconuts for a nourishing body massage. They follow it up with a deeply cleansing and exfoliating cashew body scrub leaving the skin soft and glowing.

The Signature Lemon Balm Apricot Scrub at The Khyber Spa by L’Occitane, Gulmarg, Kashmir
A unique scrub created with the perfect alchemy of apricot powder, mineral-rich Himalayan spring water and lemon balm essential oil beautifully exfoliating, refreshing and smoothening the skin. It is then followed by the award winning L’Occitane shea body lotion to moisturize the skin.

Mango Exfoliating Brown Sugar Scrub at the Aogya Spa, Hyatt Regency Pune
Since it’s summer you can’t really miss out on mangoes. This amazing therapy starts off with a deep tissue massage to rejuvenate and revitalize. It ends with a treatment of fruity body scrub that contains Vitamin A rich Mango pulp and brown sugar, leaving behind a smooth, refined and dryness-free skin.

Treatments infused with traditional wisdom to calm your mind

Some therapeutic knowledge can be sought from our traditional Indian roots itself. Utilizing the wisdom passed down from our ancestors to soothe a troubled mind can greatly impact the wellbeing of a client holistically.

For example:
Takradhara at Ananda in The Himalayas, Uttarakhand
In Sanskrit, Takra means buttermilk and Dhara means poured in a stream. It is inspired by a traditional treatment that makes a calming experience where a cool herb-treated buttermilk is poured onto the forehead into a thin stream. It can be a calming and soothing experience for those suffering from psychological issues like depression, insomnia and stress related conditions.

Cryotherapy at The Wellness Co. Bengaluru and Hyderabad
It can be one of the best ways to cool down in the sweltering heat and improve your client’s metabolism. It can be greatly beneficial with the increased summer activities that people indulge in with the warmer months. Cryo-treatment can also be made into a facial specialized to target the muscles on the face to provide more of a facelift effect. This treatment helps to relieve inflammation while also being paired with Gua sha massage and other techniques for a more rejuvenated appearance.

Halotherapy

There are plenty of ways to incorporate salt into treatments. Spa Brezza (San Diego) offers a Himalayan Salt Table experience combining a massage with a salt body scrub provided that the table can itself double as its own meditative experience. No matter what a client chooses they get to experience a blissful 25 minutes on a naturally heated Himalayan salt block table enhanced with Aromatherapy.

Spa L’Auberge (San Diego, CA) offers a Coastal Sea Salt Glow treatment on its menu, which brings the coveted ocean vibes to this summer treatment. This treatment allows for naturally occurring sea salt extracted from the Pacific Ocean to be used for exfoliating the body in order to purify and detoxify it.

You can bring about a much needed escape from the summer heat that your clients can happily relish, just by adding cooling treatments to your salon menu. It can be helpful for them to cope with the heat waves using your top-notch services making your salon a great summer paradise.
