Ok i have a voucher for a spa, i don't need nails, waxing or massage and i usually just end up spending these on a facial but i fancy something different, what can you recommend. its worth £30 but i'm happy to add to it.

I would really recommend a wrap or a hot stones treatment if they do them - most places will do wraps (floating ones are the best), but not everywhere does the stones.

Really really . I used to go quite often then the credit crunch hit... oh well, there's always my anniversary.

Enjoy your treat whatever you have

DH bought me a day at the salon for Christmas and I haven't decided what to have yet either.

Just had a look . They have algae wrap or mud wrap with hot stone. I'm not sure about the hot stones, it sounds a bit pontetastic to me though, whats the point of them?

Has anyone had a peeling treatment, will they reveal a 20 year old face behind my haggered old one?

Never tried a peeling treatment - have horror of coming out looking like a peeled tomato

Mud is really good and will go well with stones. The stones are usually placed on your back (down your spine) and are then used to massage in a very gentle way. They are nice and smooth and pretty warm but not so hot that they will burn you IYSWIM.

Algae is also good and not smelly!

Which spa are you going to?

see a facial and a massage doesn't do it for me at all. I like a massage but i have a lady i know who does themat her house who's really good and facials, i don't know its just lots of rubbing on creams after having loads before my wedding i can honestly say they didn't make a jot of difference, plenty of water a sit in the steam room and a good moisturiser is all you need.

The sap is just Heaven V at virgin gym, certainly not posh or fancy but does the job and minds the kids in creche whilst i'm there

I think you might be best going for the algae wrap - no pummelling of your body in any way (as far as I can remember) and it does leave your skin feeling fantastic

Just whatever you do, don't have a flotation wrap if you are at all claustrophobic. I freaked out and had a panic attack when I had one.

I love a full body massage myself.

I had a hot stone treatment/body massage and it was amazing - I felt the effects literally for hours afterwards. Initially, I was sceptical and secretly thought it was going to be a waste of money but twas a birthday treat from my children (courtesy of DH). I'm happy to report that I was wrong BIG time. I'm too practical/tight to have these regularly but I would be more than happy to have it again for my next birthday!

BTW, I had an E'SPA Holistic Total Body Care Treatment which was absolutely fantastic. (kept the brochure for future usage)
