While going to the spa may seem like a feminine activity,
it can have wonderful benefits for any man that chooses to let himself be pampered!
From rejuvenation of the mind and body to maintenance of the skin,
eyes and other areas, a trip to the spa can keep any man looking good and feeling ready to take on the day.
Here are four reasons that men should go to the spa and enjoy the special treatment they deserve.
Relaxation and Decompression
Like women, men often have hectic lifestyles filled with meetings, business calls, late nights at work and possibly commitments to a family at home.
Many men find stress relief in sports and physical activity but, depending on what shape they’re in, may not get all they need through exercise.
A trip to the spa is the perfect way to relax and decompress after any stressful time in life. Many of the treatments in the spa are geared specifically toward relaxation and will allow a man to emerge feeling ready for whatever life throws at him!
Pain Relief and Injury Prevention
One of the most common treatments at a spa is a deep tissue massage, and this can be extremely beneficial for any man that regularly engages in physical activity.
Sports come with the possibility of muscle tears and strains, and a deep tissue massage can find points of tension in the muscles and tendons and release them.
This causes these areas to become more supple and flexible and more likely to withstand the rigors of any physical activity.
Skin Rejuvenation
There is a reason that women emerge from spa treatments looking beautiful and radiant: many spa procedures are aimed at rejuvenating the skin and creating a new glow.
Activities such as seaweed wraps, facial exfoliations, eye rejuvenations and others can all be extremely beneficial to any man that wishes to retain his youthful look.
And as of late, hair removal processes have become a masculine activity, with many men choosing to trim or even shave entire parts of their body.
For treatments like this, the spa can be extremely beneficial, as many will offer to trim, shave or wax areas like this to give you the look and feel that you want.
Some skin spas even offer permanent hair removal, and women aren’t the only ones who love the idea of never having to shave again!
Shirk Gender Stereotypes and Do Something You Enjoy
One of the largest and most controversial stereotypes revolves around men who travel to spas. Often they face derogatory labelling, all for wanting to get pampered. But truthfully,
who doesn’t want to be treated like royalty now and then? More men should travel to the spa to break down this ridiculous gender stereotype. A spa trip is all about treating yourself to
a relaxing afternoon or weekend and can be thoroughly enjoyed by any and all that give it a shot.
Don’t let these labels continue unabated. Travel to the spa and show the world that it’s the perfect place for everyone.
Head to the Spa This Weekend
Even as a man, you must treat your body and mind well. So get to the spa this weekend, and spend some time feeling rested and relaxed and prepare for a whole new day.
