Spa Treatments and Spa Products to Stay Cool this Summer
If the thought of baring your pasty, dry, winter skin makes you feel more than a little apprehensive leading spa professionals from the International SPA Association have you covered with some of the best new products, treatments and services just in time for summer! There’s no doubt you’ll be turning the cabana boy’s head after a relaxing day at an ISPA member spa prepping for the hot months ahead.
“If you’re planning a long vacation, weekend trip or several hours at your neighbor’s pool, ISPA members have come up with creative ways to take a spa break this summer,” said ISPA President Lynne McNees. “With more than 57 million spa-goers in the United States alone, spas are great places to learn about proper use of sunscreen, healthy ways to lose weight as well as quick fixes for hair, nails and skin, which are issues on our minds during the summer months.”
As ISPA represents 3,000 members in 75 countries, it is always summer somewhere and there are certainly many spas and product companies that focus on getting you ready for the heat.
