When we talk about Indian skin, there are a lot of questions that come up regarding the texture, skin tone, the extreme weather conditions, so in and so forth.

Let’s talk about Indian skin and what makes it different from the rest of the world to help you create the most effective skincare routine. Indian skin is usually exposed to multiple agents that make skincare for Indian skin different from those in other countries. UV exposure, pollution levels, extreme heat, humidity, and cold are all environmental factors influencing Indian skin.

Despite being long overdue, the beauty industry has finally become more inclusive of all skin tones. Fair skin is no longer a must; hence, brands are focusing on overall skin health.

Every skin type has its own set of concerns. Dry skin looks dull, oily skin is more acne-prone, and sensitive skin can cause irritation just about any time. Therefore, there is no permanent respite from these skin issues.

Not only the environmental factors like pollution or cold but also lifestyle habits such as over-washing and switching products can drive your skin to freak out in one way or the other.

That’s where spa treatments come into the picture, more so during winter months when skin becomes flaky and dry. So, regular visits to spas for specific sessions targeted at skincare according to your skin type, coupled with steam and sauna are more a norm than an exception for Indian skin.

Now the question is, how to best take care of Indian skin with Spa sessions?

Here is an overview of the benefits of regular visits to a spa as an adjunct to enhancing skin health and younger appearance, courtesy Shobana Mahansaria, Director of Dolphin POD.

If you want to feel rejuvenated and beat the everyday stress triggers, then; you should go for signature spa treatments. The use of specific massage techniques on different parts of your body – such as effleurage or friction – is effective with the skilled hands of an experienced therapist. However, a shorter, light manipulation designed to increase blood flow and oxygenation allows for an easy-to-use and consistent self-massage routine.

Have you ever felt disappointed with your skin despite working out, eating well, and following the ‘right’ skincare routine? Well, you are not alone; this is a common problem with Indian skin.

“Therefore, Spa sessions are required for skin rejuvenation, but only when chosen wisely. Yes, choosing the right facial or a body massage for yourself is also a trick. While oxygen pure facial helps remove tanning mostly for oily skin, collagen gold facial suits all skin types” says Shobana Mahansaria.

For complete relaxation, an application of a compress of therapeutic Indian herbs works on the tired and sore muscles of your body.

Alternating palm and thumb strokes by the therapist along with skilled hand massage in fragrant signature oil blends stretches each muscle group and releases knotted nerves. The result is a re-aligned body with energy flow restored.

Another thing is Essential oils; they can help boost a springtime detox, pampering and enhancing skin, and purifying the body by helping flush out toxins.

The next question is, How to keep your skin calm, balanced, hydrated, and healthy? Your answer might just be – introduce the best essential oils for skin in your skincare routine!

Essential oils are plant extracts made from seeds, leaves, and flowers. Essential oils that have properties to treat different skin concerns.

Today, body massage is considered a powerful healing technique in Ayurveda. A good oil massage releases the accumulated stress and toxins from the body, leaving you feeling energized and rejuvenated.

If you suffer from problems like stress, anxiety, insomnia, body aches, fatigue, or joint pain, then a complete body massage with a suitable Ayurvedic body massage oil will be beneficial for you. Think of an essential oil massage as a way of oiling the engine of your body. The more often you do it, the better your body functions.

It’s clear from the above points that the benefits of spa treatments extend far beyond the massage table! Christmas time, although exciting, can be a particularly busy and stressful time for many, and there has never been a better time to visit the spa! Alternatively, why not take a trip in the new year, but have it booked so that you have something to look forward to?

Shobana Mahansaria says, “No matter which type of spa treatment you select, you can expect to leave feeling much more relaxed and rejuvenated”.

“A day filled with relaxation and focus on the self can also have a positive impact on your mental health. Spa therapy can provide a way to combat the daily stressors that are a part of your life and help you keep anxiety and depression in check. A day at the spa can help you renew your spirit and allow space for your mind to regain clarity,” she adds.
