Stone massages have become ever more popular in mainstream spa treatments and while you spa setters know the amount of comfort the invigoratingly relaxing treatments supply, you may not be aware of the benefit or existence of stone pedicures. A new and up and coming procedure taking the spas and nail salons (those who know about it at least) by a calming storm.
The innovative pedi’ includes a sensuous and extensive foot bath, preparation of the solution and of course the ever necessary massaging The manicurist begins by meticulously washing your feet once and then again just to ensure cleanliness, which is not uncommon when referring to many spa treatments. Now, the second bath is also to initiate the rejuvenation progression, allowing for an elevated and renewed flow of blood to your worn soles. So, from the moment you sit in the chair you are in for an inevitably soothing experience! Now comes the actual bath salt and stone bathing!
These aren’t the same huge stones that are place along your body used for balancing energy. These stones (typically Basalt) are specially sized and formatted for the ultimate comfort and renewal of your walking tools. As for the solution used, some salons have their own mixture of oils, salts and other varying ingredients to set their pedicures apart from the completion, while others choose to purchase a kit including a solution and can be found on amazon.com.
I know you’re wondering what the cost for such an extravagant pedicure is and the answer is that it varies. Some spas and salons begin their pricing at sixty dollars while others insist that the treatment is well worth one hundred dollars. Pause for reaction. I know, I know this seems out of reach with the continuously rising financial obligations we are all facing. However, getting this treatment once a month or bi monthly could be the answer for your overworked, under appreciated, tired and needy feet. And with putting five or ten bucks away here or there, it is a very attainable treat to engulf your senses in.
Or, you could just buy the system yourself. Taking away the pricey retail tag and combining the enjoyment of a relaxing (and probably much needed) pedicure with the comfort of home. Imagine sitting in your favorite chair, in your comfy clothes watching your favorite prime time shows while soaking your feet in a massaging foot bath adorned with stones floating in a warm salt bath. But before you Google the kit there are some things to be aware of.
It is said that the bath is most enjoyable when being administered by someone else. So perhaps hosting a girls night or asking a loving partner to assist you would be best. Not to say that flying solo is not doable.
Be sure that the stones are rounded with no sharp edges that could puncture your skin or fabrics. You should also see to it that the rocks come from the river bed and that the salt used has more benefits than just Sodium.
