What’s In

Can you still recall the meaning of Spa Treatment? Indeed, previously, you have
learned that a spa in nail care is an improved form of the regular treatment of manicure and
pedicure and usually includes one of the following: paraffin dip, mask and mud, or seaweed
treatment. It is an effective and relaxing technique that satisfies all the physical and
psychological demands of the hand and feet.

13
 What’s New

The spa is a level up service for people who want a difference in their nail care
experience, not just a plain manicure and pedicure.

What do you see in the picture above? It’s one of the equipment in performing a hand
spa treatment, a hand spa machine, or paraffin heater. In your previous lesson, it is used to
remove callous and dead cells of the hands or feet with the heated and melted paraffin wax
at an appropriate temperature and then applied to the desired area.

Do you want to know more about the spa and the other types of hand treatment? Then
you have to read the next information to follow.

What Is It

According to “The History of Spa’s” by Brown 2018, the word “SPA” is a short form of
Latin phrase “Salus per aquae” which means health through water. This treatment has
beneficial effects on the whole body and mind. A spa is a treatment for hands and feet that
eliminates dead skin, moisturizes skin; shapes, and treats clients’ nails. A beautiful addition in
spa manicures and pedicures is the calf and lower arms long massage.

In this lesson, you will learn the different types of a spa in nail care.

A. Paraffin Wax Spa. This is a wonderful, rather a perfect treatment for dry, rough skin,
helping to reveal smooth skin underneath.

Procedure
1. Start with sanitizing the hands with soap and water.
2. Dip both hands and feet or apply the paraffin wax with paraffin brush into the
melted wax and remove. Allow the wax to cool completely and set.
3. Peel off the cold set wax.

14
 4. Wipe the hand and feet with a warm, moist towel and then massage hands
or feet with lotion.

B. Mud mask spa. A mud mask is similar to a face mask, but applied on hands or feet. It
helps to remove the dead skin and to relax sore feet and hands. It puts life back into
tired hands and feet. It softens calluses and neglected skin.
Procedure
1. Start with an exfoliation using a scrubbing cream.
2. Always moisturize the feet after exfoliation is completed
3. Apply mask made of clay on hands/feet
4. Once it is dry, remove the mask from the hands or feet.
5. Rinse and dry it properly.

C. Salt and Sugar Spa. This spa exfoliates and moisturizes the skin and removes dirt from
hands and feet.
Procedure
1. Apply basic treatment of manicure and pedicure
2. Use salt or sugar with a moist hand to scrub the skin, instead of using
scrubbing cream.

D. Special Variants of Spa. These treatments range from a simple sea-salt scrub, to skin
peels and callus removal, masks, aromatherapy, flowers, and fruit treatments.
1. Stone spa. This type of pedicure involves oil being massaged into the feet
and lower legs with hot stones.

2. Peaches and Cream Spa. You could use a peach-scented candle or

diffuser in the pedicure area. Milk or any cream will help exfoliate the skin
and sliced peaches in the bath will make the client feel very relaxed.

3. Flower Petal Float Spa. Soak the hands and feet in a basin filled with rose
petals, valued for their moisturizing and mood-elevating benefits. The client
relaxes as the petals are bathed over the hands/feet with lotion, massaged
into the muscles for a fragrant sensation.

4. Champagne or Wine Spa. This is a regular pedicure usually featuring a

grapeseed scrub, grape mask peel, and finished off with grapeseed oil or
moisturizing massage.

15
 5. Athletic Spa. This spa is quite similar to a regular pedicure for either gender.
It contains either a clear polish or toenail buffing. Usually, the fragrant used
will be more freshening, such as peppermint, cucumber, or eucalyptus.

6. Chocolate Spa. A spa that may include a chocolate foot soak, chocolate
foot Mask, or chocolate moisturizing lotion.

7. Margarita Spa. It is a normal spa that includes a salt scrub and soaking
water with fresh limes. It may also include lime-based massage oil and
moisturizer.

8. Ice Cream Spa. A spa where a “bath ball”, which looks like a scoop of ice
cream, is chosen. The soak is followed by a foot scrub topped with whipped
moisturizing lotion. Red nail polish simulates the ice cream’s cherry.

What’s More

How are you, learners? Did you learn the different types of spa treatment? It’s amazing
how spa treatments could be relaxing and pampering for the hands and feet. Whatever type
of spa treatment a person will experience, the important is the satisfaction earned from the
services.

You have to remember that your hands are the tools of your body. For tools to work
properly, they have to be carefully looked after. Without your hands, your activities will be
limited. The reason why you should take extra care of your hands and even your feet so that
they feel brand new. The reason why a lot of people love to go to the spa.
