Food is something that comforts us. Our mood is often affected by the kind of food we eat. Relaxing with food is a very common practice, however, what makes these spa treatments different is the way these food items are used to relax your body during a treatment.
Spa treatments bring your body at ease and help in relaxation. These spa treatments, however, are a little different from the usual ones. These spa treatments from all across the world use different food items. These food items not only make your tummy happy but also your spa experience extra relaxing and indulgent at the same time.
Milk & Honey
One of the most wanted women of her time, Cleopatra, is known to use milk and honey to keep her skin beautiful. She is famously known for taking milk and honey baths. Milk and honey make a great cleanser for the skin since they both contain antimicrobial properties. Milk and honey spa treatments are comparatively more popular than the rest. They leave the skin look beautiful and hydrated.
Avocado
While Avocado has held the attention of nutritionists from all around the world with its benefits for overall health and weight loss, its extensive skin benefits have just started gaining ground. Avocados are known as anti ageing fruits and are extensively used in spa treatments. The healthy monounsaturated fats like oleic and linoleic acids, A, B, C and E vitamins, and minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and calcium make avocado good for skin and help in achieving glowing and moisturized skin.
Coffee
Drinking coffee may have several health benefits, but studies have also shown that coffee also supports skin and cellular health. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants help to protect our skin from the outside elements and also protect the skin from showing signs of aging. A coffee scrub helps exfoliate the skin and helps in the blood circulation. If all that was not enough, the aroma of coffee beans is also very relaxing.
Caviar
Caviar is said to be a rich delicacy, it not only tastes delicious but makes the skin look beautiful. Caviar extract is filled with minerals that prevent the skin from looking dull and dry. Despite it being an exotic food, caviar can also even out skin tone and improve skin texture.
Whiskey, Wine & Beer
Mood can be made better with the help of a little bit of alcohol now and then. Bourbon whiskey, red wine, and beer make great scrubs for spa treatments all over the world. Vinotherapy is basically bathing in wine and has rejuvenating benefits for the body. Vinotherapy is a beauty therapy process where the pip and the pulp which is the residue of wine are rubbed into the skin. The pulp is said to have excellent exfoliating qualities and help reduce the problems associated with ageing.
Chocolate
The idea of a chocolate spa in itself is very enticing. Chocolate is packed with antioxidants that have an anti-ageing effect on the skin. Although eating chocolate was once believed to cause breakouts, research shows that the dark variety is actually good for your skin. It Protects Skin From UV Damage, helps detoxifying skin and helps in achieving smooth and glowing skin.
