Looking for ways to pamper the mom in your life this Mother’s Day? From pedicures to aromatherapy, here are the top ten spa treatments for Mother’s Day…or any day!
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #1: Pedicure
Moms spend endless hours on their feet: walking to bus stops, running errands, and chasing little feet that never seem to stop! This Mother’s Day let Mom put her feet up with a relaxing pedicure. Ranging from basic to luxurious, this spa treatment is a great way to soothe sore feet before sending her back to the toddler marathon!
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #2: Manicure
What pairs well with a pedicure? A manicure of course! Treat Mom to a Mother’s Day manicure and pamper those hands that do so much each day. Just like pedicures, this spa treatment can range from a quick shape and polish to an hour long session filled with scrubs, massage, and aromatherapy.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #3: Body Scrub
Early morning feedings and sleepless nights can be draining on moms. For Mother’s Day consider giving the mom in your life a body scrub spa treatment. This energizing spa treatment rejuvenates and refreshes with a scented exfoliation that will leave her with a radiant glow.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #4: Massage
This Mother’s Day treat Mom to a massage that will pamper, relax and soothe her muscles. Some moms may not be comfortable with the disrobing that some types of massages require. If you think she would prefer a more modest spa treatment, try shiatsu. A shiatsu massage involves light pressure and gentle stretching, all while remaining fully clothed.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #5: Gemstone Therapy
Thinking about giving Mom jewelry for Mother’s Day? Instead of putting the jewels on her hands, put them on her back with a gemstone therapy spa treatment! This spa treatment uses polished semi-precious stones that are placed on special points along the back, arms, and legs. After spending an hour covered in gems, Mom is sure to leave feeling like a million dollars!
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #6: Facial
A facial makes a wonderful Mother’s Day spa treatment. There are so many types of facials it is easy to find one that is the perfect fit for the mom in your life. A word of advice for the gift giver: skip any treatments with “anti-aging” in the description. This is a day for Mom to relax, not to be reminded of her crow’s feet and laugh lines.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #7: Shirodhara
Every mom deserves healthy shiny hair, so for Mother’s Day treat her to a shirodhara spa treatment. Shirodhara is a spa treatment that involves a constant gentle stream of special oil applied to the middle of the forehead. The oil is massaged into the hair and scalp to nourish, moisturize and relax. Shirodhara can be a stand-alone spa treatment or included as an add-on to a massage or body scrub.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #8: Sunless Tanning Application
If you can’t afford to send Mom on a Caribbean cruise this Mother’s Day, consider sending her in for a sunless tanning spa treatment instead! This spa treatment is a relaxing way to get a sun-kissed glow as the aesthetician lightly massages a sunless tanning lotion into the skin. Mom will come out looking like she spent Mother’s Day sunbathing in the tropics, but without the harmful effects of the sun.
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #9: Reflexology
This Mother’s Day give mom a reflexology spa treatment. Reflexology is a technique that massages special points on the feet and hands that correspond to different areas of the body. So much more than a foot rub, this spa treatment is both healing for mom’s body and relaxing for her feet!
Mother’s Day Spa Treatment #10: Aromatherapy
Poopy diapers, spit-up, that awful mashed sweet potato baby food in a jar: moms have to smell it all. Give Mom and her nose a rest this Mother’s Day with an aromatherapy spa treatment. Aromatherapy uses essential oils to awaken the senses and relax the mind. This spa treatment can be added on to facials, massages, and foot soaks.
