There’s something deliciously indulgent about slipping into a warm pool of surging water, feeling the tingling heat of herbs on your skin, melting under the touch of a masseur and being otherwise pampered on a lazy day off from work. All too often we lock such thoughts away in our subconscious. We think one day, maybe next month or maybe for my birthday, I’ll do that. And while we wait and procrastinate, the need to destress and relax grows.
Sometimes, the best thing to help keep going is to take a break.
It might be just the energy recharge you need.
Was time spent on your mental health ever truly wasted? You can always punish yourself with extra work tomorrow.
Hydrotherapy underwater massage
How long 20-30 minutes
The salon touts a hydrotherapy to enhance wellness. The facility has a special tub that provides a computerized underwater massage programmed specifically to target your neediest areas. Try it by itself, or in tandem with other services. Select from freshwater, detoxifying, sea water, sea weed, stress relief or aromatherapy sessions.
Fire and ice facial
The fire and ice facial is hailed as a world-class wrinkle fighter. The fire portion of the facial involves a paprika mask to heat up the skin. Then a cooling rose hip, maize and menthol blend makes the skin very chilly. Krisanne Day, the owner and a licensed aesthetician, said the skin only gets as hot and cold as the skin type can tolerate. The products are more of a gel than a clay, so expect an organic pulpy paste. While your skin is being stimulated, your head, neck and shoulders are massaged.
Caviar facial
Where Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, 999 North Second Street, St. Louis - How long 90 minutes
- How much $200
The Four Seasons signature caviar facial is a luxurious treatment that firms, tones, refines and deeply hydrates the skin with protein-rich caviar and powerful antioxidants. Caviar infuses the skin with age-defying nutrients, smoothing fine lines and improving texture. A massage for the face and dιcolletι firms and tones, while the innovative chitosan mask provides intensive hydration to restore radiance.
Desert heat body treatment
The Desert Heat Body Treatment starts with a salt glow exfoliation and then a therapist wraps you in a self-heating, bubbly wrap, rich in copper for skin repair. Expect to find relaxation and well-being as this treatment leaves the skin mineralized, hydrated, nourished, toned and shiny-smooth. To finish things off, enjoy a stimulating Vichy Shower and the application of a hydrating body moisturizer enriched with alphahydroxy acid.
Thai Yoga Massage
- Where YogaDoc, 121 North Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood
- How long 60 minutes
This massage form has all the relaxing and stress-relieving benefits of traditional massage without the embarrassment of being naked in front of a stranger. It has all the perks of a rigorous yoga workout, but you don’t have to struggle with one down-dog. Thai massage has evolved from a sacred form of body therapy that benefits all kinds of ailments. You remain fully clothed as a practitioner moves your body into a series of stretches that will leave you refreshed, invigorated and yearning for more.
