The golden leaves, cooler weather and shorter days of autumn can be magical, but they also bring dry skin, chapped lips and a shortage of sunshine. However, it is possible to get through this period feeling happy and well.
To do this, why not take advantage of a place that is warm, cosy and enhances wellbeing - in a word, a spa. Let's take a look at the treatments that have been created with the autumn chill in mind.
The benefits you will experience from the spa.
A visit to a spa can have many benefits for your body, mind and soul. It is a great way to relaxing after a long week, relaxing your muscles and stopping the rush of thoughts.
Stress reduction.
A spa is the best place to relax and de-stress. As soon as you enter, you will feel your mind start to relax. It's an opportunity to enjoy time just for yourself.
Relaxation at the spa takes many forms. For some it will be a facial scrub or microneedling, while for others it will be relaxing massages and a jacuzzi bath.
Better sleep.
Spa visits promote tranquillity and a reduction in tension, which in turn has a salutary effect on the quality of sleep.
Sleep problems can have a variety of causes, from stress to muscle and joint pain to health problems. It turns out that many people can be helped by a visit to the sauna. It promotes circulation, relaxation and lowers internal tension levels, which can make it easier to fall asleep and sleep through the night.
Improving well-being.
Did you know that going to the spa can make you a happier person? After a massage, the body benefits from increased levels of serotonin and dopamine, the so-called 'happy hormones'. These make it easier to regulate your emotions and mood.
That's why, when feeling a drop in energy and well-being, it's worth going to the spa.
Radiant, silky-smooth skin.
Taking care of your skin has many benefits. Skincare treatments can help reduce fine lines, the appearance of acne and other imperfections.
It's never too early to start looking after your skin. There are many non-surgical solutions that can help you feel more confident in your body. You will find them right in the spa.
Rejuvenation.
Did you know that your natural production of antioxidants starts to decline as early as the age of 20? This is why taking care of your skin and doing your best to prevent ageing is so important.
There are many spa treatments that can make your skin brighter, smoother and more radiant. Your wellbeing will certainly benefit too.
In particular, rejuvenating and shaping care will help you in your fight against the signs of ageing. Japanese lifting (Kobido), Zaffiro Thermolifting and micro-puncture (Surgen) are worth considering here.
Pain relief.
If you are struggling with headaches, massage can bring you relief. It is particularly recommended for people who experience headaches during periods of stress and anxiety. The massage slowly relieves tension around the temples and head.
It can also help with pain located in other parts of the body. If you have muscles that are sore from exercise or menstrual cramps, massage will relax them.
It is also an extremely relaxing treatment, so even if you don't feel any specific pain that requires intervention, it is worth using massage to relax.
Improving circulation.
Massages and other spa treatments improve blood flow and circulation, which helps the body fight disease. This is because the lungs, heart and muscles function properly when the blood flow is right. Your whole body will benefit from improved circulation.
Greater confidence.
There probably isn't a person who doesn't like that pleasant feeling right after a spa treatment.
The body and emotions are closely connected. By providing solace to one, the other sphere also benefits. The more rested your body is and the better you feel in your own body, the more beneficial your inner world will be.
Brilliant spa treatments for autumn.
A spa is good at any time of the year, but in autumn our body and mind especially crave soothing warmth, relaxation and a cosy retreat. Based on this, we have selected 7 treatments that best meet these needs.
Aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy uses the effect of a combination of scents on the human body. It stimulates the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and memory.
Depending on the specific aromas, it is possible to support the immune system, the respiratory system, feel relief from pain or relieve cramps, among other things.
If you like natural waxes and essential oil blends, aromatherapy is what will allow you to relax deeply. The nostalgia of autumn makes us very much in need of it.
Candle massage is, especially in the autumn season, a unique experience. The gentle, warm, melted wax does not solidify on the skin, but forms a pleasant, fragrant layer on the skin. After this treatment, the body becomes radiant, fragrant and well-blooded, and the mind relaxed.
Thermotherapy.
In the case of thermotherapy volcanic stone massage deserves special attention. Warm basalt stones, placed in the right places on the body, perfectly dissolve accumulated tensions.
It is an experience that brings to mind long, warm summer days.
Amber ritual.
You can find this treatment exclusively at the Quadrille Hotel in Orlowo.
Here you will experience a pleasant wrapping with amber extract, a composition of natural algae and plant oils. This combination deeply cleanses the skin, nourishes it and provides blissful relaxation.
An amber massage oil and powder that smells very pleasant, by the way, leaves a soft glow on the skin and promotes skin regeneration.
Sauna.
Spending time in a sauna or steam room helps to detoxify the skin and improve its appearance.
The sauna is able to raise the body temperature by 1-4 degrees. This activates the immune system.
After such relaxation, you can take a refreshing bath or use ice packs to toughen up your body, give yourself a natural dose of endorphins and your complexion a healthy glow.
Steam baths provide the ideal microclimate to counteract the drying effects of autumn weather. The heat and humidity in this type of room gently heals the skin, opens the pores to release toxins, also improves blood flow and relieves joint and muscle pain.
Swimming pool and jacuzzi.
There's nothing like a long, relaxing, warm bath in the jacuzzi. Relaxing after a hard day - especially when it's chilly outside - tastes even better under these conditions.
In the indoor pool, on the other hand, you can swim pleasantly even when the water in the Baltic Sea becomes even colder than in summer.
Swimming helps to make the body firmer and get rid of tension. In the water, weight is non-existent, muscles and joints relax. There is no need to give it up in autumn.
Relaxation massages.
Massage can help improve circulation, release toxins from the body and relieve tension headaches.
Smooth movements, a touch that soothes tensions and aches, an anti-stress head and neck massage, a relaxing leg and foot massage and a reduction in swelling - all of this the spa can provide you with.
Sound massage.
It uses special therapeutic bowls that vibrate to deeply relax the body. In addition, they induce a state of relaxation and meditation.
Himalayan bowls are placed on the surface and around the body. When played on them, soothing vibrations and gentle, deep sounds are produced. This helps to achieve harmony and relaxation.
You can experience sound massage for yourself by going to the Quadrille Hotel in Gdynia.
The choice of spa treatments for autumn is huge. Your mental and physical wellbeing can benefit greatly from them. Just decide which treatments are best specifically for you. Enjoy relaxing!
