One of the first questions that people ask is how to choose the right spa. Do some internet research and find out about the different spas and the areas they are in. Speak to family and friends and ask for recommendations. Research the different types of treatments offered and decide what you need. Decide what the purpose of your visit will be, relaxation, detoxification or weight management. Decide how much you are willing to spend as this will affect where you can go and the kinds of treatments you can take.

In general you should not eat before having spa treatments. If you are hungry, you could maybe have a small snack such as some fruit or a cup of tea but nothing more than that. If you eat, you risk getting nauseous during your treatments.

It's best not to wear jewellery to your spa treatment. Most spas do provide you with a locker for your clothing and other personal effects. The jewellery will get in the way of your having an effective treatment. Do not put your jewellery in your robe pockets as this is a sure way to lose your jewellery.

Yes. It's hygienic and polite. It is far more pleasant for your therapist if you are clean. This is especially important if you have been enjoying a physical activity. The shower will also help your body decompress before your treatment. The warm water will open up your pores and the products applied to your body will be more easily absorbed.
