It’s all too easy to overindulge come the long weekend. With the party season complete, why not take a break and make some time for a detox? Cleansing the body of toxins and focusing in on your health and wellbeing, will offer extra energy and vitality in the long run. Whether you have a few hours or the whole three days, there’s an option for everybody.
The Massage
What better way to detox than indulge in 150 minutes’ worth of pampering? Beginning with a salt scrub sourced from the Dead Sea, the skin is polished and left feeling silky smooth. Working with hot stones to encourage lymphatic drainage, toxins are massaged out of the body by your knowledgeable therapist. Fresh seaweed which has been sourced from the depths of the Atlantic, is then carefully wrapped around the body. Working again to bring toxins to the surface, the wrap also aids in improving skin elasticity, regeneration, reducing cellulite and improving body contouring. During the wrap, your knowledgeable therapist applies hand and foot masks before beginning a pro-youth facial. Also incorporating oceanic vitamins and minerals, results are instant meaning you leave the luxurious setting of the spa with an even more luxurious glow.
Available at The Spa at The Palace Downtown US 405 or AED/SAR 1,500 for 150 minute
The Juice Detox
No deadlines and no work commitments mean it’s the perfect time to try out a juice detox. Choosing between a three and five day cleanse, then deciphering whether you’re a beginner or experienced (even if you’ve done it once or twice the first option may be best) the plan involves five cold-pressed raw juices and one vitality shot for both. Comprising of fresh, organic and locally sourced ingredients the juices themselves are delicious and offer all the nutrition your body requires. Followed correctly the cleanse aims to re-energize your body and offers a boost of vitality. Created by expert nutritionists, the cleanse can reinforce your immune system, help your digestive and circulatory systems, boost weight loss and purify the epidermis meaning more beautiful nails, skin and hair. Everybody is different with some finding the first day easy and the third the most difficult or vice versa, but by the end, an added burst of energy to your daily routine makes it all the worthwhile.
