What
spa treatments are considered suitable?
• As a rule of thumb you should steer clear
of any treatments that involve high temperatures
viz whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, heat wraps
etc or the use of any herbal or botanical products
that could be potentially harmful to your baby.
There are treatments that you can enjoy without
worry, and which will make you feel more attractive
and help you relax as well.
• A facial treatment designed to unplug
oily pores can help minimize acne outbreaks which
many women are prone during pregnancy.
• A pedicure and foot massage can be sheer
delight for those aching feet. It feels very comforting
to have your swollen, tired feet cleaned, massaged
and painted by someone else. This becomes particularly
true in the later months when you are too big
to do all this yourself.
• A body scrub with moisturizer will help
you to get rid of the buildup of dead skin cells
that can otherwise lead to an itchy belly. It
can also help your body replenish some of the
moisture lost as a result of hormone-induced skin
dehydration. |
