6 Things You Should Avoid After A Spa Treatment

To maximize the effects of your spa treatment

, it is important that you consider some post-treatment guidelines. Usually these rules are given by the specialists at the spa, especially in the case of acupuncture. However, if you didn't get them or have forgotten what the instructor said, here are six tips that you need to keep in mind in order to maximize the positive effects you had harnessed from your spa treatment:

Avoid alcohol and nicotine: Nicotine and alcohol both dry your blood streams. Most spa treatments release toxins into your blood streams, which end up drying the liquids in your body to some extent. Drinking alcohol and smoking can further dehydrate your body to dangerous levels. So, try to avoid both of these things for at 24 hours.

Avoid washing your body: Whether you have been through an acupuncture procedure or any kind of body therapy, it is best to avoid taking a shower for at least 24 hours. Usually, acupuncturists recommend that their patients not make contact with water for 24 hours to avoid any infections that can take place. Most of your skin would be sore, and water can further cause infections to it. If you have been subjected to a massage or a body treatment, then you should also wait a day before washing up. The moisturizers and creams used take their time to absorb in the skin and show their effects.

Sleep on a soft sheet: Whether you had had a facial or therapy body wrap, your skin will become soft and prone to allergy. Dust, harsh cloth, etc can easily cause your skin to irritate, and rashes can spread. To avoid this from happening, sleep on a soft sheet that won't irritate your skin. Also, do not use rough towels for at least a week.

Eat light meals: After a spa treatment, stick to consuming juices for as much time possible. If you can't resist hunger, then you can opt for a light meal such as a sandwich. Do not eat anything that is too heavy or you might feel sick. The reason for this is that due to the loss of water, your body will become a bit weak, and it won't have the strength to digest heavy meals. You need to give it some rest in order for it to get back the momentum it has lost.

Do not stress yourself: Last but not the least, after your spa treatment, you might be feeling all refreshed and energetic, but remember that your body is a bit stressed as well. By doing anything stressful, you might lose the effects of your treatment. Even indulging in activities such as sports is not recommended as such workouts make you sweat. Sweat will quicken your body's loss of fluids, thus you will start feeling weak very quickly.

Drink as much water as possible: As mentioned earlier, after spa treatments, your body loses a bit of its liquids, so it's best to provide it with ample amounts of water so that it can recover easily.
