Jin Yunrong, a beauty expert in Taiwan Province SPA and president of International Aromatherapy Far East Branch, pointed out that a spa that integrates health care and beauty must meet the following three conditions: there must be water without water, and it must be running water, such as hot spring water.

Smell-the fragrance of natural flowers and plants
Visual-comfortable landscape
Taste-provide a healthy diet
Touch massage and skin care SPA must satisfy customers in these five senses and provide meticulous care. How to enjoy SPA 1, know yourself and prescribe the right medicine?
Don't rush to change clothes and take a shower before you do the SPA. Take a few minutes to do a survey, and understand your physical condition and temperament according to the analysis of the survey report. Then start from yourself and choose the SPA that suits you according to your own reality. 2. Relax and get rid of other thoughts.
You can think of SPA as: enjoy a romantic and comfortable travel holiday; Read a meaningful and fresh book; Listen to a quiet music. The premise of enjoying all this is to be quiet, let go of everything and not think about any worldly trifles. 3, mobilize the five senses, wholeheartedly.
As lingering as the running water in the south of the Yangtze River in March, quiet music, soft light, aromatic plant essential oil and even hot stones can all be used in the SPA. Therefore, to enjoy the SPA, we need to fully mobilize the five senses, and achieve a kind of physical, mental and spiritual comfort through the five sensory functions of the human body: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch.

Myth 1: Spa is a petal bath.
Bathing is just one of the forms or processes of SPA. With this view, when you go to a beauty salon to do a SPA, you may feel that doing such a "bath" is expensive, troublesome and time-consuming. So the SPA you do may only achieve the shallowest skin cleaning effect.
Myth 2: doing SPA is too boring, chatting on mobile phone.
Some people say that if Li Bai lived in modern times and had a mobile phone pinned to his waist, he probably wouldn't have become a "poet saint", because he might have just got a little inspiration to write poetry and was bored to death by all kinds of cell phone ringtones. What else can he talk about and write poetry? The same is true of doing SPA. With the mobile phone, all kinds of secular troubles in the process of SPA may detonate at any time, and you can't really enjoy the SPA.
Myth 3: One kind of SPA is suitable for everyone.
People's physique, personality and temperament vary widely, and different people can't have exactly the same requirements for SPA. To do SPA, we also need "specific problems and specific analysis". For example, impetuous, active and competitive people will add fuel to the fire when they go to the incentive SPA, while those who are not enterprising and easy to get tired will only be more tired when they go to the SPA to purify their body and mind.
Myth D: You can only go to the beauty salon to experience the SPA.
