The Healing Power of Spa Days: Your Burnout Prevention Strategy

healing spa days

In our hectic lives, juggling work, family, and personal commitments can leave us depleted, with burnout looming as a serious threat to our well-being. But there’s a remedy that’s both luxurious and essential: regular spa days.

Understanding the Burnout Epidemic

Before diving into the rejuvenating world of spa days, it’s crucial to acknowledge the pervasive burnout issue plaguing many today. Burnout encompasses chronic stress, detachment from life, reduced performance, and emotional exhaustion. It’s not just fatigue; it’s a profound life quality disruptor.

The Role of Regular Spa Days

While spa days might seem indulgent, they are vital for preventing burnout. Here’s why you should make them a regular part of your routine:

  1. Stress Reduction and Relaxation:  Spa treatments, ranging from expert massages to the calming effects of aromatherapy, play a pivotal role in reducing stress. These treatments have been designed to specifically lower the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone in your body. As you indulge in these therapies within the tranquil ambiance of a spa, you’re allowing yourself to disconnect from the demands of daily life. This separation from stress’s constant presence helps you manage and alleviate its effects, which can be significant contributors to burnout.
  2. Physical Rejuvenation:  Burnout not only affects your mental state but can also take a toll on your physical health. Spa treatments such as deep tissue massages target the accumulated tension in your muscles. By applying skilled techniques and pressure, these massages can relieve muscle knots and discomfort, improving blood circulation and flexibility. Similarly, hydrotherapy sessions, like hot tub soaks or saunas, help relax muscles and promote physical renewal. By focusing on physical well-being, spa days offer a holistic approach to combating burnout.
  3. Mental Detoxification: The fast-paced, information-heavy nature of modern life often leads to a cluttered mind. Spa days provide a much-needed mental detox. By immersing yourself in the spa’s tranquil environment, you disconnect from the chaos of daily life. Activities like meditation and hot tub soaks offered at spas offer moments of introspection and mindfulness. These practices can effectively reset your mental state, providing clarity and helping you cope with the stresses that contribute to burnout.
  4. Boosting Self-Care: Regular spa days prioritize self-care as an essential component of your routine. By dedicating time to pamper yourself, you send a powerful message that your well-being matters. Engaging in self-care activities during spa visits can boost your self-esteem and create a positive cycle that encourages healthier lifestyle choices.
  5. Enhanced Productivity: It might seem counterintuitive, but taking breaks for spa days can actually enhance your productivity. When you’re well-rested and rejuvenated, you’re better equipped to face challenges, make critical decisions, and manage your time efficiently. A short respite from your routine can lead to significant long-term gains in productivity. It’s a valuable investment in both your work and personal life.
  6. Social and Emotional Well-being:  Sharing the experience fosters bonds and creates lasting memories. Positive emotions and deeper relationships formed during these shared experiences can significantly boost your emotional well-being. It’s a unique way to nurture connections and create a sense of belonging, which are essential for your overall happiness.

FALL TO WINTER: SKINCARE GUIDE

When the first winter breeze blows through the trees you can feel the magic in the air. Cold weather brings people closer, and we yearn for love, warmth, and connection. However, transitioning to the new season might also mean to be the beginning of our winter skin woes, especially if we suffer from dryness and flakes. During this time of the year, our skin loses its moisture, causing it to become dry, itchy, and irritable. In some cases, it can even lead to psoriasis, eczema, and other skin conditions.

Switching to a skincare routine designed to keep our skin healthy in cold temperatures doesn’t have to be difficult. With just a few adjustments, you can maintain a radiant complexion year-round.

Here’s a handy guide to transitioning your skincare routine for winter.

Best Skincare Guide for Winter:

1. Cleanse 

The key to keeping skin clean and free of accumulated dirt is cleansing twice daily, both in the morning and at night. However, foam-based cleansers are not recommended during Winter as it contributes to drying out the skin, which is why we suggest switching to an oil-based cleanser that gently removes impurities without stripping moisture. There’s no better like:

Eminence Organic Skin Care Firm Skin Acai Cleanser 8.4 fl. oz - DermstoreEMINENCE FIRM SKIN ACAI CLEANSER– This cleanser is Antioxidant-rich acai berries that are perfect for revitalizing mature skin. This cream cleanser also blends hyaluronic acid and seabuckthorn oil to restore the appearance of elasticity to the skin and present a more youthful look. Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, animal by-products, phthalates, GMOs, and triclosan.

 

2. Moisturize

During the winter season, reach for heavy-duty creams and moisturizers to hydrate parched skin, and support the skin’s barrier to help protect the skin from the damaging effects of the cold weather.  We recommend searching for formulas made with hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, essential oils, and/or glycerin. For example, we like the iS Clinical Moisturising Complex because it offers up to  24 hours of hydration for a soft, smooth, and healthy-looking complexion. We recommend:

iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex | In Stock | Nationwide DeliveryiS CLINICAL MOISTURIZING COMPLEX – This moisturizer by iS Clinical has a rich, creamy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin with a non-greasy finish. Its protective barrier is packed with antioxidants to guard the skin against environmental damage. The moisturizing ingredients that we can’t get enough of in iS Clinical Moisturising Complex are hyaluronic acid and glycerin, as they can retain and restore impressive amounts of moisture. Plus, vitamins and bio-nutrients help maintain your skin’s health throughout cooler months.

Eminence Organic Skin Care Apricot Body Oil 8.2 fl. Oz - DermstoreEMINENCE APRICOT BODY OIL– Eminence Organics Apricot Body Oil combines moisturizing apricot oil with grapeseed, jojoba, and seabuckthorn oils to leave skin supple and touchably soft. This natural body oil blend is also packed with antioxidants that protect skin from free radical damage and minimize signs of aging like wrinkles and uneven skin tone. This multipurpose oil can also be used to hydrate very dry skin on the elbows and knees, or you can add a drop or two to your favorite moisturizer for even richer hydration.

3. Exfoliate

Fall and winter’s dry conditions can be highly irritating to your skin, and you may begin to notice flaky, dry patches on your face and body. Exfoliation is a great way to stimulate the production of the skin’s natural oils and product absorption. To maintain skin in the autumn and winter, choose a gentle exfoliator and exfoliate as part of your night routine to avoid making your skin more vulnerable during the day. If your skin needs a jump start, consider a Chemical Peel. Rather than working on the surface of the skin, chemical exfoliation works at the cellular level to improve the condition and appearance of the skin. Try this:

KUL - Exfoliating Cleanser – HEMP.coKUL CBD Exfoliating Cleanser– This sulfate-free, polishing cleanser combines the purest quality Full Spectrum CBD with Apricot Seed to gently exfoliate & remove makeup, oil & dead skin cells to reveal healthy, radiant-looking skin. You can see effective results immediately as this sulfate-free, polishing cleanser travels deep into pores to remove the impurities & helps condition the skin. Balancing probiotics & antioxidants encourage smoother, brighter, more even skin tone.

4. Protect

Our skin can be damaged by UV rays all around the year. Use a mineral-based SPF for its lightness, breathability, ocean-friendliness, and ease of use. We recommend:

Eclipse SPF 50 | SPF 50 Sunscreen | iS ClinicaliS CLINICAL ECLIPSE SPF 50– Formulated specifically for daily use and extended outdoor activities, Eclipse SPF 50+ is a unique fusion of scientifically advanced physical sunscreens – transparent Titanium Dioxide and micronized Zinc Oxide – coupled with pure Vitamin E. This antioxidant-rich blend provides superior water-resistant broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Eclipse SPF 50+ is an ultra sheer, lightweight formula that absorbs quickly for a non-greasy matte finish.

BBalanced - Natural Medicine | EMINENCE ORGANIC SKIN CARE - LIP TRIO KIT COUNT/PK 3EMINENCE LIP TRIO–  Erase the appearance of winter dryness and treat your lips with a naturally effective three-step treatment. Gentle fruit enzymes refine the lip area, followed by an extra-rich masque that deeply hydrates. Finish with a delicious minty non-petroleum-based take-home balm that stimulates lip-plumping collagen.

5. Nourish

The most effective way to get healthy skin is to maintain a good diet and drink enough water. Eat squashes like butternut and pumpkin that are rich in beta-carotene. This helps to aid cell renewal, regulates skin function, and promotes collagen production. Also, aim to incorporate “healthy fats” into your diet, including foods like salmon, avocado, and nuts. These foods contain essential omega-3 fatty acids, which improve the health of skin cell membranes. When eaten regularly, you can help reduce inflammatory skin conditions and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

To give your skin an extra boost of moisture, use a humidifier to maintain a more comfortable humidity level in your home.

When it comes to fall and winter skincare, the above adjustments would help with your winter skin woes, even when the temperatures drop. If you’d like to consult for personalized skincare recommendations, visit DESUAR Spa at our three branches across LA.

WHAT IS LAVA SHELL MASSAGE GOOD FOR?

 Warm up this season, and Release your stress.

Autumn is a perfect time to renew your commitment to self-care and begin a new wellness routine. Massage therapy in colder months warms up your muscles and helps circulate fresh, oxygenated blood throughout your body. DESUAR Spa offers a wide variety of massage therapy suited for your needs, one of which uses Tiger Clams, which are said to work wonders on blocked energy flow and even Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

What is a Lava Shell massage?

Lava Shells massage is an indulgent treatment that uses elements of Mother Nature using heat to bring relief to tense muscles, sore joints, stressed emotions, and weary spirits. Smooth, heated lava seashells are skillfully combined with massage for an exceptional spa experience. This treatment uses real shells from the Philippines. The heat comes from inside the Shells due to a mixture of minerals and algae combined with salt water and essential oils. When they are combined inside the shell, it creates a chemical reaction that causes heat for one or two hours.

The Lava Shell can radiate heat for up to an hour, allowing your therapist to provide a continuous and seamless warm full-body massage. The heat from the tiger-striped clam shells along with the deep tissue pressure point massage eases away muscle tension, releases energy flow, and restores a sense of balance to the body and mind.

Benefits of Lava Shells Massage

The Lava Shell Massage benefits are endless. The treatment is truly pleasing and the warmth of the shells gliding over your body would surely send you into a state of deep relaxation. Heat allows deeper work to penetrate layers of tension, reducing tight, tense muscles effectively. It delivers a seamless massage of heat and touch, thus continual heat of the shells relaxes your muscles. The smooth texture and shape of the surfaces contour the body, and the angles and edges of the shell allow for deeper work into muscles as the shells become an extension of the therapists’ hands. It improves circulation and freedom in the body as more oxygen and nutrients are brought to the tissues thus promoting healthy well-being. It is best for those with:

  • Aches and pains
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Digestive problems
  • Depression
  • Stress, tension, and anxiety
  • Lethargy and feeling run-down
  • Arthritis
  • IBS and bloating
  • Sore, tired muscles

Heated treatments work to remove toxins from cells, enhance blood flow, increase the function of tissue cells, relaxation of sore, stiff muscles, and relief of painful arthritic joints.

Who shouldn’t have a Lava Shell massage?

  • Anyone who’s recently had an operation
  • If you have an active cancer
  • Pregnant Woman
  • Suffering from Epilepsy
  • DVT

If you are eco-friendly and ready to take your wellness routine, Lava Shell massage is the best therapy you wouldn’t fail to try. It will leave you feeling recharged, rejuvenated, and refreshed. Imagine helping the planet while you are de-stressing.

Dermaplane: The Peach Fuzz Solution

Do you have large pores, unwanted facial hair, and uneven skin texture? Read on as we tackle one of the go-to treatment of many today.

Laser Genesis: The Ultimate Way To Minimize Pores | Vein & Laser Institute

All Photos courtesy of google

Our skin is daily exposed to harsh environmental toxins, irritants, and sun damage. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull, and it can make you look aged.

Among the many treatments we have on the market, there is this one who is making a buzz by providing greater results against peach fuzz and considered to be the best exfoliant for all- The Dermaplaning. This is also one of the most sought after treatment at DESUAR Spa- the haven that provides quality treatment to the many people who wanted to look good and feel great of themselves.

But what is a Dermaplane and what it does to your skin?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that exfoliates your skin and skim off dirt and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.” It’s also called microplaning or blading. It aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. This treatment claims to remove deep scarring from acne and uneven pockmarks on your skin.

It’s different from dermabrasion, where an aesthetician or doctor uses a high-speed, rotating brush to exfoliate the skin. With dermaplaning, they use a scalpel or a tool called a dermatome. The doctor or aesthetician moves the dermatome, which looks like an electric razor, back and forth to scrape off the top layer of dead skin.

If you look at the tool used for dermaplaning treatments, you may notice it looks like a razor you would use on your body hair.

The basic concept of dermaplaning is the same as shaving. By aiming a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle and dragging it slowly across your skin, you remove dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris that may be making your skin’s surface look uneven.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning Facial Is So Much More Than Shaving Your Face

According to WebMD, The exfoliation and hair removal can leave your skin brighter and smoother. The treatment may soften fine lines and wrinkles and ease hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. It’s also used to treat deep acne scars. How well it works really depends on your skin type, tone, and medical history.

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation meant to be performed primarily on the face. Also known as leveling the skin or blading, it involves the use of a sterile surgical blade, known as a dermatome, that gently scrapes away the top layer of problem skin. The dermatome is held against taut skin at a 45-degree angle and stroked in a manner similar to shaving.

This method removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and supple.

Dermaplaning is usually only performed on the face and generally excludes any blading of the nose, eye lids, neck, or chest. It is recommended that the procedure be done every 3 to 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with a normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days.

Dermaplaning is wonderful for exfoliating the skin and for those that have peach fuzz on their face. It removes this along with dead skin cells, resulting in healthier looking skin. This treatment is great for someone who has sensitive skin or facial hair that does not respond to laser hair removal. Removal of this outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair enhances the penetration and speed of your personal skin care regimen. It is great for priming the skin for a Chemical Peel.

After the treatment, your make up will go on better and your skin will be very smooth. This is a no downtime procedure.

Risks and Side Effects

Dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure. Side effects may include slight redness in your face in the hours after getting the treatment. Some people develop whiteheads on their skin in the day or two after dermaplaning.

Infection and scarring are rare after dermaplaning, but they do occur. If you develop a scar from dermaplaning, your doctor may need to treat the scar tissue with a steroid injection to soften the scar tissue.

Another possible side effect is a patchy skin pigment in the area where you have the procedure, which may decrease or disappear as time goes on.

Short-term side effects may include:

  • Red and swollen skin from the scraping
  • Soreness
  • A burning or tingling sensation for about 48 hours after the procedure
Dermaplaning isn’t recommended if you have inflammatory skin conditions such as:

Where Can You Get It?

It’s best to go to a licensed aesthetician or doctor in DESUAR Spa if you’re thinking about trying dermaplaning.

Do-it-yourself kits and tools are available online and at your local drugstore. But because you’re using a very sharp blade, you may cut your skin when you scrape it. This can lead to infection or other problems.

Schedule an appointment with DESUAR Spa if you’re concerned about your skin because it feels great to look good.

Hydrafacial: The Future of Skin Health

Do you want to achieve the best skin of your life?

Is your skin dull and lackluster or bright and glowing?

Are you plagued by blackheads, blocked pores, acne, or dry skin?

How visible are your pores? Are they filled with dirt and debris?

No need to book separate facials for this — one HydraFacial should do the trick! Hailed as a “one-stop shop” for rejuvenating your skin, this non-invasive treatment has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.

According to hundreds of Skin Health experts, hydration is the single most important factor in healthy skin. Dryness, scaly skin, flakes or peeling, and even tight-feeling skin can indicate a lack of hydration.

Known for its three-step process, the HydraFacial works to deep-clean, exfoliate and hydrate your skin. This professional procedure may help treat a variety of skin conditions, such as:

  • Oily, acne-prone skin
  • Dry skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Blackheads
  • Enlarged and clogged pores

Due to the deep exfoliation that cleans your pores, removes debris, and allows better penetration of face serums tailored to your skin type, the HydraFacial is said to help improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance.

It is a patented skin treatment available in DESUAR Spa. It’s also called “hydradermabrasion” because it involves microdermabrasion-like exfoliation paired with hydrating serums.

This technology relies on a suction-based device to cleanse and remove dirt and debris from your pores. This same device refills your pores with hydrating peptides and antioxidants, leaving you with an instant glow. Post-treatment, you can actually see all the gunk that’s been flushed from your pores – something many clients enjoy.

Hydrafacial just got even better with  Syndeo.

10 Healing Herbs For Stress And Anxiety

By Sophia Cooper

Stress is a part of everyone’s life these days. Work pressure, house chores, kids, and other challenges can get to our nerves sometimes. The present pandemic situation, the uncertainty of our jobs, and the worries in life ahead give an awful, unpleasant experience that aggravates stress. Prolonged stress can lead to chronic anxiety and depression, eventually.

Lifestyle changes can help in regulating stress levels. But, in some cases, lifestyle changes don’t help much. One can start talking to their loved ones and go for counseling if matters get worse. But for centuries, people have been using herbs when they feel frazzled and overwhelmed. So, what are these herbs?

A herb is a plant with roots, leaves, flowers, and seeds that hold medicinal properties. It is beneficial in improving immunity, reducing inflammation, and combating stress, too. There are a variety of herbs available that hold healing power that one can easily incorporate in their lives. Here are the top ten herbs that one should try.

1. Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, an ayurvedic herb used for over two and a half millennia, is famous for its anti-inflammatory power. According to studies, taking ashwagandha can show a significant reduction in stress and anxiety levels in a person when taken regularly. Ashwagandha is available in the form of supplements that one can take to reduce the signs of anxiety. Apart from stress, it also reduces fatigue, nervous tension, exhaustion, and boosts immunity. One can also consume ashwagandha in the form of tea or as a powder mixed in shakes.

2. Cannabis

Healing Herbs For Stress And Anxiety

Cannabis or marijuana has gained a lot of popularity due to its therapeutic properties. It has two major chemical compounds CBD and THC. As per studies, cannabis can be effective in combating stress and anxiety. Cannabis, with a high concentration of CBD (the non-psychoactive ingredient), can stimulate the endocannabinoid receptors to help improve mood, behaviors, and emotions in a person. A moderate dose of cannabis is sufficient for getting relief from stress and anxiety. Post legalization of cannabis in some states, manufacturers are promoting several cannabis products like cannabis oil Canada, topicals, tinctures, and edibles. These are excellent ways of consuming cannabis to get the best results against stress and anxiety.

3. Ginger

In the culinary world, one can use ginger as both a herb and a spice. It holds healing properties that can fight anxiety. Ginger contains a compound called Gingerol that is antioxidative and neutralizes the toxic chemicals produced by the body under stress. Studies show that ginger can alter serotonin levels that help manage anxiety. Stress can hurt the cognitive abilities of a person. Another study shows that ginger can protect against the harmful effects of oxidative stress and improve brain function. Digestion is another thing that takes a hit under stress. Ginger is a savior that improves gut health by stimulating bile acid production.

4. Brahmi

This traditional Indian herbal medicine is known for its brain-boosting powers. Brahmi is an ayurvedic herb with potent anti-anxiety properties. Studies show that a single dose of Brahmi helps improve memory and reduces stress and anxiety in healthy adults. It stimulates serotonin production that relaxes the mind and induces calmness. It is also very effective in treating neurodegenerative conditions like dementia. Take this herb as a supplement with milk or mix the powdered form of Brahmi in milk to boost overall cognitive performance.

5. Neem

This traditional herb has seen many uses in the past five millennia for its curative benefits. Neem can treat many illnesses like diabetes, liver problems, heart problems, and indigestion. Scientists experimented to understand the effects of neem on stress. They gave animals with anxiety neem leaf extracts orally. The neem extracts helped in increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helped in reducing stress in the test animals.

6. Amalaki

This natural herb helps treat many health conditions like joint pain, obesity, diabetes, and diarrhea. Amalaki possesses cooling properties that help enhance sleep, treats digestive issues, and skin problems. It can treat problems related to stress, like high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Studies show that Amalaki can regulate and prevent high blood pressure by decreasing oxidative stress.

7. Peppermint

Peppermint herb has an abundance of therapeutic benefits. Just the smell of this classic herb is intoxicating and relieves headaches. The peppermint oil is a treatment for stomach issues like bloating, indigestion, and bowel irregularity. According to studies, the smell of peppermint can enhance sleep, mood, boost confidence, and reduce stress. A small dose of peppermint can also boost your cognitive skills.

8. Siberian Ginseng

This herb is famous for its remarkable stress-relieving properties. Under stress, a person might feel low in energy and lack mental clarity. Taking Siberian ginseng increases your energy levels and alertness. It influences the adrenal glands to secrete stress-fighting hormones that increase the body’s capacity to handle stress. Taking this herb will help increase blood circulation in the body, improve cardiovascular health, and combat chronic fatigue.

9. Tulsi or Holy Basil

Apart from this, tulsi can also regulate blood sugar levels and heart health by alleviating anxiety levels. One can consume this healing herb by adding it to their tea, meals, or taking it in capsule form to enhance longevity.

10. Oregano

People use this flavorful herb widely in cooking and to treat health issues. It is rich in antioxidants that protect the body from stress and harmful toxins. Studies state that oregano has components like thymol that help reduce anxiety. Use it with a carrier oil and rub it into the temples for calming effects.

Conclusion:

The above are the top ten stress healing herbs. These herbs can help in maintaining a healthy state of mind. One of the easiest ways to consume these herbs is by including them in your diet. Although certain over-the-counter medications can instantly ease the stress, they do come with some side effects. Switching to natural healing methods helps relieve stress with no side effects. Apart from these herbs, make efforts to maintain a balance between work and personal life, take out time to exercise, do something that you are passionate about, and take adequate sleep to fight stress.
