What services does the Wintergreen spa offer?

When you visit the Wintergreen Spa, you can enjoy quite a few different exciting services. Here are a few of the most popular that you may consider getting for yourself.

Herbal body wrap

At Wintergreen Spa, they utilize a variety of blends and oils in their treatments. With an herbal body wrap, you get to be cocooned to allow your body to absorb everything more efficiently. During this process, your therapist will massage your scalp and feet, too.

Hot stones

Hot stone treatments are some of the most relaxing you’ll find at this spa, and they help you prepare for the next day’s adventure. This treatment involves your therapist using smooth basalt stones to massage tension areas and target muscles. In turn, your body will enjoy increased blood flow and balance of energy.

Mud and mineral facials

Mud and mineral facials take many forms at this spa, but they all have something special to offer. You may enjoy the pure forest facial, which involves naturally sourced ingredients offering the healing properties of the forest to your skin. Alternatively, you can try the inner balance gemstone facial that involves the application of minerals like malachite, charcoal gel, and tourmaline gemstone oil.

Salon services

Getting a haircut is only the beginning of what you can enjoy at this spa’s salon. They offer coloring, highlights, and even consultations if you’re trying to look your best for a special occasion. Think of it as a spa experience for your hair. They also offer makeup applications that allow you to stun everyone with your appearance.

When is the best time to go to the spa at Wintergreen?

The spa’s busy hours will vary based on the time of week you visit. If you are in the area during the week, the mid-afternoon tends to be the busiest time. For visitors looking for something less crowded on a weekday, mornings and evenings are best. Weekends are a bit different, with the busiest times being the morning and late afternoon. You may find a lull around noon if you want to visit while it’s less crowded.

What to expect during your first spa visit

Visiting a spa for the first time can be intimidating, but there’s nothing to worry about. Just keep general spa etiquette in mind during your visit.

Spa preparation

Before you make your way to the spa, you should dress in comfortable clothes, though you will likely be changing into a robe anyway. You are free to bring your own robe, but the spa will provide one for you if you don’t.

It’s best to shower before you visit the spa like you would before visiting an indoor pool. Your skin naturally secretes oils, so showering beforehand allows you to have a fresh start for your treatment. Plus, it helps prevent any of your natural body oils from interacting with the treatment and massage oils to any significant degree.
