What to Expect upon your day spa Visit:

Many offer the following facials: Chemical peels. Facials for acne. Oxygen facials. Deep cleansing facial. Microcurrent facials. Anti-aging facial treatments. Microdermabrasion. 

Booking your treatments in advance is key, as this guarantees that the spa will be able to accommodate your needs. If you are considering multiple treatments, speak with someone from the spa directly so that they can best organize your time. For a visit that includes a facial, massage and pedicure, for example, your treatments may need to take place in a specific order for optimal results. When you're booking treatments, ensure that you have time to take advantage of the spa's facilities -- such as the hot tub, sauna or mineral baths -- as well as to relax between appointments.

Avoid wearing jewelry to a spa, because you will be asked to remove it before getting treatments. Towels and robes are typically provided at spas, so there is no need to bring your own. The same goes for personal hygiene products, such as shampoo and soap, but bring your own if you prefer. If your spa day includes the use of a sauna or hot tub, check in advance whether a bathing suit or sandals are needed. Because you will be relaxed after your visit, wear comfortable clothing, such as a pair of sweatpants and a loose cotton top.

Eat lightly before arriving at the spa, so you don't feel heavy and full during your time there. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after your visit. Massages and hot humid conditions, such as in a sauna, are wonderful for detoxing and relaxing, but they cause your body to lose fluid. Similarly, to ensure that you get the most from your visit, take a shower before you arrive and exfoliate well to remove as much dead skin as possible. This will help you get the most benefit from skin treatments, such as facials, body wraps and body scrubs, which use special ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin.

 A day at the spa is supposed to be an escape from your daily routine, where your only focus should be on pampering and relaxation. Depending on your treatments and the spa package you purchase, you will probably get a bathrobe, towel and slippers included. Plan ahead and put together a casual outfit that's comfortable and easy to take off and fold
 

When you're headed to a spa for a facial and massage, dressing for comfort is the name of the game. But once you arrive for your treatments, you'll likely need to disrobe. Nudity is permitted at many spas, but that doesn't mean you have to take take it all off if you're not comfortable. The type of treatment that you're receiving can help you determine what clothing might get in the way.
