A place of tranquility.

What is your place of tranquility?

For some people it’s a place for some it’s a state of mind. For me it can be both. To get to a place of tranquility you sometimes need special arrangement. For me being relaxed is all about feeling good, exercising and spending time with loved ones but today it was a totally different story.

The past few weeks have been extremely hectic with school starting and working late on the weekends. I decided it was time to go to a place of tranquility.

Where to go to relax?!

For my birthday I got a present from my friends that I could only wish for: a My Beauty Day gift card to Helsinki Day Spa. 3 hours of pure pampering.

Thank you my amazing friends!

Helsinki Day Spa is located in the center of Helsinki in a beautiful building from 1882. It is one of the largest spas in Finland with 11 treatment rooms as well as a Spa Shop where you can find quality beauty products and professionals who will gladly help you choose the right products.

When arriving to Helsinki Day Spa I got greeted with a warm smile and inviting atmosphere. I was guided to the second floor from the down stairs Spa Shop and peace awaited me.

Entrance to relaxation!

A staff member was waiting for me upstairs with a neat package that had a robe, slippers and disposable underwear for me to change into. Let me remind you that I had 180 minutes of body and facial treatments ahead of me so proper attire was required.

Ready to to go!

Now that I was in the right outfit it was time to get into the mood. In the Spa Lounge you wait to be called in and enjoy compliments of the house. Cleansing tea, water and a variety of healthy snack will definitely kick the cleansing in your body and mind.

Tea, water, cashew nuts, almonds, dates, plums and much more to snack on.

After you have picked your favorite snacks and drinks you kick back and wait for you to be called in.

The first part of my Beauty Day treatment was body treatment of 90 minutes. First my entire body was body scrubbed, then massaged with body mask which was then left on for 15 minutes for moisture and smoother skin. While the mask (and I) were resting I was pampered with a scalp massage. Oh boy was that god. Thank you to professional Anni who knew exactly what she was doing.

After the body mask was washed off a massage followed with moisturizing and relaxing lotions. After my entire body was massaged, including my abdomen, it was time to pamper my face.

Face mask in effect!

The facial was custom made to my needs and I chose to have it cleansed with ultrasound followed by moisturizing massage. Again, thank you to my great beauty specialist Anni who did a great job recommending treatments for my skin type. After peeling, cleansing, moisturizing and massage I was offered to have my eyebrows waxed and colored. Why not? What great customer service I must say. I didn’t even know that shaping and coloring brows was included in the package.

I also got great advice on how to maintain glow in my skin and what routines to have at home to maintain healthy good looking skin. Products that we used in our treatments were all listed for future reference, what worked what didn’t. I was left relaxed and satisfied. What an AMAZING 3 hours!
