What spa treatments are considered suitable?
• As a rule of thumb you should steer clear of
any treatments that involve high temperatures viz whirlpools,
saunas, steam rooms, heat wraps etc or the use of any
herbal or botanical products that could be potentially
harmful to your baby. There are treatments that you
can enjoy without worry, and which will make you feel
more attractive and help you relax as well.
• A facial treatment designed to unplug oily pores
can help minimize acne outbreaks which many women are
prone during pregnancy.
• A pedicure and foot massage can be sheer delight
for those aching feet. It feels very comforting to have
your swollen, tired feet cleaned, massaged and painted
by someone else. This becomes particularly true in the
later months when you are too big to do all this yourself.
• A body scrub with moisturizer will help you
to get rid of the buildup of dead skin cells that can
otherwise lead to an itchy belly. It can also help your
body replenish some of the moisture lost as a result
of hormone-induced skin dehydration.
