How to Extend the Benefits of Your Spa Treatment at Home

There’s nothing quite like the glow, looseness, and mental clarity you feel after a great spa visit. But what if we told you that with just a few simple habits, you can extend that refreshed, revitalized feeling long after you’ve left The Body Bar?

Here’s how to maintain those post-treatment benefits at home:

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Whether you’ve had a massage, facial, or stretch session, drinking water is essential. It helps flush out toxins released during your treatment and keeps your muscles and skin hydrated, aiding in recovery and glow.

2. Don’t Overbook Yourself

Give yourself time to ease back into your day. Treatments like deep tissue massage or lymphatic drainage need time to integrate into the body. Avoid jumping straight into a busy schedule so your system can process and benefit from the session fully.

3. Follow Your Aftercare Instructions

Your esthetician or massage therapist might recommend skipping certain products or activities for a day or two. These suggestions are tailored to your treatment and your body — following them will protect your results and enhance them.

4. Stretch or Move Gently

If you’ve had bodywork or assisted stretching, keep your body moving with light stretching or short walks. This helps maintain mobility and prevents tightness from creeping back in.

5. Use the Right Products

We often recommend professional-grade skincare after your facial. Using quality products at home can enhance and prolong your results — and we’re always happy to guide you on what’s best for your skin type and goals.

6. Schedule Regular Self-Care

The biggest key to lasting results? Consistency. Whether it’s monthly facials, biweekly massages, or stretching sessions, regular care ensures your body and skin stay in a balanced, healthy rhythm.
