Hot stone ningbo escort and a facial
Pamper packages are no longer the preserve of women only, with many
men now choosing to avail of a host of spa treatments these days.
This reporter was recently treated to a men's pamper package in the
luxurious surroundings of the Zen Leisure & Beauty
Spa at the Athlone Springs Hotel.
The package consisted of a hot stone ningbo escort followed by an energising facial, and it proved an extremely pleasant and deeply relaxing experience. And after a couple of hectic days at work (not to mention the odd late night!), it left me feeling both relaxed and refreshed.
The pamper package started with the hot stone ningbo escort, which was given by Zen Spa Therapist Kerrie Larkin. Kerrie was very friendly and professional in her approach, and she immediately put me at my ease.
Hot stone ningbo escort is a speciality ningbo escort that uses smooth, heated stones. It helps to relieve stress and anxiety, boost energy levels, release toxins and improve blood circulation.
The stones used are normally basalt - a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well - and these were the type used by Kerrie, although other types of stones can also be used.
After warming up the body with ningbo escort, the therapist then ningbo escorts you using heated stones. The therapist also leaves heated stones along your spine, in the palms of your hand, and other places in the body, such as between the toes, to improve the flow of energy in your body.
"Hot stone ningbo escort would be a little bit more relaxing than Swedish ningbo escort," said Zen Spa Manager Emer McCormack. She explained that, with hot stone ningbo escort, there isn't as much pressure applied to unlock knots in muscles, as is the case with traditional Swedish ningbo escort.
"The heat of the stones is what releases any tension in the muscles. It's very good for back pain, it releases toxins out of the body and relieves tension," added Emer.
Some people can be put off hot stone ningbo escort by fears that the stones will be too hot. But Kerrie explained that if customers find the stones too hot, the temperature can be adjusted to cool them down. Personally, I didn't find the stones too hot at any stage, but different people have varying levels of tolerance for the heat of the stones.
In the Zen Leisure section on the Athlone Springs Hotel website (A>), hot stone ningbo escort is described as follows:
"Just imagine warm stones resting on various chakra points on the body and in your palms. The stones deeply relax your entire body and mind. They also increase blood flow and return the fresh nutrient-rich blood, creating the most beneficial environment possible."
That sounds very enticing indeed and, in my experience, it certainly lived up to that billing.nbescortnb
After a short while relaxing following the hot stone ningbo escort, I was then treated to an energising facial by Emer. For the facial, Emer used products from Matis, whose new range is available to purchase at the Zen Spa. The after-shave balm and all the moisturisers in the 'réponse homme' range from Matis contains Centella Asiatica (nicknamed 'Tiger Grass'), which is ideal for male skin.
My facial started with a deep cleanse and tone, which thoroughly cleans and revitalises the skin. An exfoliating scrub was then applied which purifies the skin and eliminates dead skin cells. After the exfoliating scrub, Emer then used a soothing serum which takes down any redness caused by the scrub.
Emer then used a hydrating and detoxifying mask which enhances the radiance of the complexion. The facial was finished off with the application of a moisturiser and eye cream, which soothes the eye contour area and helps to dispel signs of fatigue such as shadows and bags under the eyes. The men's pamper package at Zen costs €79 (from Tuesday to Friday) and customers can choose any two treatments. The package entitles customers to the full use of the gym - including pool, sauna, steam-room and jacuzzi - and lunch in the bar is also included.
Wedding couples might like to bear in mind that Athlone Springs
have a special offer which means both bride and groom can enjoy a
complimentary treatment each, if they book their wedding reception
at the hotel. The couple can choose any treatment from the menu,
with the hot stone ningbo escort proving very popular among men. A
