Going to the spa isn’t just for women. Men can also feel pampered and have great skin and nails, too. From promoting relaxation to reducing stress, there are many reasons men should schedule a spa retreat. Below are three services to enjoy if you’re unsure where to start.

3 Spa Options Men Should Try

1. Massages

A massage is a type of physical therapy where a masseuse manipulates the skin to increase blood flow and relax tight muscles and connective tissues. These appointments range in pressure from light (Swedish massage) to intense (deep tissue), so you can choose the option that feels best.

Massage reduces stress, improves circulations, relieves pain, and releases happy hormones that will have you feeling light and airy after leaving a spa appointment.

2. Facials

Facials often include cleansing and hydrating the skin and cleaning the pores. There are many types of facials to suit your individual needs. Men with acne should try microdermabrasion, a technique that removes the exterior layer of skin. This process can reduce pore size, minimize scars, and reduce the look of sunspots from ultraviolet light damage.

Get an express facial to clean the skin and enjoy a hydrating mask that  reduces wrinkles and treats dryness. Opt for a sensitive skin facial if you’re prone to allergic reactions or breakouts. The spa staff will provide cleansers and masks that match your skin type, whether it’s oily, dry, or red.

3. Manicures and Pedicures

Practicing good nail care doesn’t just make hands and feet look good. Regularly cleaning and trimming your nails can reduce the likelihood of athletes foot and other infections. You’ll lower the chances of painful hangnails by attending these appointments every month to keep your nails short and even.

Men who are active or perform manual labor can benefit from these appointments to address nail injuries and learn how to use moisturizer to soften callused skin.
