Two New Services Offered at the Indigo Spa

 

indigo spa

Treating the body is critical to a healthy, energetic and beautiful life. An Indigo Spa body treatment at Hilton Head Health is an experience of intensely pure, certified organic ingredients generously delivered from Red Flower, Naturopathica and Skin Authority with techniques evolved from the world’s richest healing traditions. Each treatment is executed with a sense of ceremony and a meaningful purpose, made extraordinary by the multi-layered effects that are so unique. Indigo Spa massage offerings include escapist journeys with layers of rare, exceptionally sourced ingredients, treatments that take the mundane to the memorable and therapeutic massages that deeply heal. We've added two more restorative treatments to complete our spa menu:

After Sun Therapy 50 Minutes

Reduce the effects of too many rays. The skin is gently purified with a hydrating blend of sea algae and silk extract blended with yuzu and mimosa flowers. A lymphatic Phytopower Masque is applied to the body and face to reduce redness and skin irritation and improve cellular regeneration to prevent peeling and even the skin tone. This treatment closes with a cooling and delicate application of ocean lotion to heal.

Fit & Firm Transformational Facial 50 minutes

This European-inspired facial incorporates a sugar cane AHA resurfacing and an individually chosen treatment mask to soften fine lines, clear congestion and brighten skin for a healthy, radiant glow. While masking, the therapist will perform an arm and hand massage incorporating rich therapeutic nutrients to restore and brighten skin. This luxurious treatment finishes with a Fit & Firm Eye Lift Treatment and application of an anti-aging “cocktail” of Wrinkle Reversing Serum and vitamins, rich with essential oils to replenish and revive skin radiance and health.

Get past the hump!

2 days remaining until the weekend…but who’s counting!?  If you are like me, you may need a bit of stress relief in your life.  A little relaxation…

The hustle and bustle of work and life has finally caught up to me – and I feel at wits end!  Instead of pulling my hair out – which is what I feel like doing – or running straight to the freezer for a scoop (or 3) of ice cream – I am going to practice a few helpful coping strategies I learned here at H3.

 

-          Jot it down.  Start a ‘stress journal’ and spend 10 – 15 minutes writing about stressful events and how they made you feel.  This will help you not only get it out – but also pin point where your stress is coming from.

-          Laugh, cry, and scream!  A healthy way to relieve stress is to simply let it all out.  If you don’t have a friend or family member you feel comfortable sharing with, find a local counselor or professional.

-          Do something you love.  Find a hobby, volunteer, or spend time with friends and family.  You may feel overwhelmed at the thought of adding another item to your task list, but these may help take your mind off what’s stressing you.

-          Meditate or pray.  A great way to focus and relax your racing mind! 

-          Sweat it out.  Regular exercise is a GREAT way to manage stress.  Try exercises like kick-boxing (which actually let you fight out your aggression) or calming exercises like yoga or tai-chi.  Get those endorphins pumping!

-          Try these relaxation techniques.  Performing Progressive Muscle Relaxation will help relieve muscle tension.  You can perform this exercise either sitting or lying down.

-          Just Breathe…  Chest breathing is often associated with chronic stress and tension – you know, the short rapid breaths.  Try breathing from your abdomen – which helps regulate your heart rate and reduce the anxious feeling.

-          Treat yourself to a massage.  No explanation needed for this one ;)

 

Now that you are equipped with the best coping methods around – don’t worry – only 2 more days!
