10 most unusual spa treatments from around the world

As you know, spa treatments perfectly help not only to put your appearance in order, but also to have a good rest, unwind and recharge with new energy. Today they are rapidly gaining popularity, and spas are literally competing with each other, luring customers with unusual offers. Here are a dozen of the most ingenious ideas from this area.

Do you want to get rid of your old skin quickly? Then give yourself to the fish to feed. In fact, pisces are great experts in the field of peeling. Having no hands and the opportunity to wash, they have adapted from time immemorial to clean each other wonderfully. There are many species of fish specializing in cleaning relatives (and not only), and a small fish garra rufa is one of them. When a client dives into the pool, a flock of fish literally pounces on him and very carefully nibbles ONLY dead skin particles. The sensations at the same time are very pleasant and similar to a slight tickling.

4-5 rather large snakes usually act as massage therapists. They just move around the body, and the person in charge of the whole procedure makes sure that they do not spread. This procedure has both ardent fans and equally ardent opponents. If you love snake skin (which, by the way, is at the peak of fashion for more than one season) and are not afraid of live snakes, then this massage will definitely bring you a lot of positive emotions.

For a real cactus massage, you need to go to Mexico. This is a rather complicated procedure, during which a special cream made from several types of cacti, avocado and tequila is rubbed into the skin. It is also rubbed with the help of a special cactus that does not have thorns.

It is said that Queen Cleopatra slept in a golden mask to keep her skin young. However, at the age of 39, she had to commit suicide, so it was not possible to establish how effectively the constant use of a pure gold mask prevents aging. But one-time applications of this expensive procedure are very pleasing to the eye.

Today, all kinds of face masks will not surprise anyone. But that part of the body, which is a kind of opposite to the face, is not given such attention. In one of the spas in Detroit, they decided to radically change this situation and offer a luxurious buttock mask. This is a very wise decision, since the skin there is highly susceptible to the formation of such a cosmetic defect as follicular hyperkeratosis (or as it is also called — "goose bumps"). Massage and careful skin care allow, if not to get rid of this scourge, then at least make it completely invisible.

Cristina Di Bartolo, the owner of a farm where horses are bred, believes that her pets are able not only to perceive special healing energy from space, but also to transmit it to people. To make sure of the validity of this statement, it is enough to ride one of her horses. In any case, the client will benefit: he will either be cured of all ailments, or just have a good time.

Splashing in pools filled with red wine is undoubtedly very pleasant. This type of spa treatments has gained particular popularity in Japan. A pool with red wine, in which your body languidly sits, and a sommelier, always ready to "splash" into your glass, will not save you from wrinkles, of course, but will allow you to forget about them for an hour or two.

There are a lot of beautiful landscapes in Venice, but tourists have little time. After you run around the museums, it's time to comfortably sit in a luxurious gondola, and an experienced masseur will "take off" fatigue with his hand, without taking you away from the contemplation of wonderful views.

Fans and connoisseurs of a real Russian bath are unlikely to be impressed by such a procedure. But it also has its advantages. The snow here is artificial, so it is available at any time of the year. The British especially like this procedure: they say it helps with hypertension and enlarged pores.

If you like to drink beer, then you risk facing the problem of a beer belly and excess weight. But the external use of beer, even with whole baths, perfectly strengthens and tightens the skin. And some spas offer guests to see this for themselves.
