Spa treatments for kids are a growing trend these days. As parents, we want our children to live their best lives. We want them to be healthy, happy, and successful. But how do we ensure that our children are developing healthy habits and are on the path to wellness? For parents, having a spa treatment with their kids is an excellent getaway to relax and spend some quality time in a quiet environment. This can also be a chance to give a proper education about the benefits of taking spa treatments as well as teaching the young souls about etiquette and behaviour of their surroundings. Treatments for kids are no different than adults but they are less intensive in terms of product use, simpler and shorter in terms of duration.
Kids Massage
Massage is one of the ways of showing love and affection, and every child deserves to have one on a regular basis. Children’s massage has been a common practice in many cultures since ages ago because it helps to grow and develop a child. Regardless of whether it is an infant, a child with an illness or a pre-schooler, massage is a wonderful stress-buster for individuals of any age. Not only adults, but even children are also prone to stress. The new environment at school or internal family problems can produce emotional strain for the little souls.
Children’s massage is not only about promoting a sense of comfort and reducing stress hormone levels. It also helps ease tension to stimulate their motor development. For infants, the stroking of massage gives strength, motor coordination and self-confidence to prepare a newborn’s body for sitting, standing and walking. Some therapists believe that massaging can even reduce their crying and fussiness, as well as boost their ability to fight off germs and gain more weight. Please note that a 15 to a 20-minute session is a good rule to follow as longer sessions can be uncomfortable for a younger child.
At Padma Resort Legian, their Nail Care treatment is using non-chemical manicures and pedicures work for little guests. This treatment allows kids to express themself in a selection of their favourite colour. You can opt for a 60-min treatment which consist of Milk bath (relaxation, milk nutrition for brighter skin, moisturising), hand and feet nail polish or Hair wash with 2 (two) plaits of hair braiding, hand and feet nail polish
Apart from the Nail Care, Padma Resort Legian understands that children also deserve a pampering experience. Starting with a floral foot-bath ritual, the Chocolate Massage is a fun and revitalising massage for children aged 2 to 12. The skilled therapists use chocolate massage oil to release tiredness and tension for the little active person, leaving them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
Kids Wellness
It is important to start young when it comes to wellness for kids. Start by teaching your children about the importance of a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Make sure they understand the benefits of eating nutritious foods and the consequences of unhealthy eating habits. Encourage them to get outdoors and engage in physical activity, whether it’s playing with friends or joining a team sport.
At Karma Kandara, they want to invite the young ones into the world of wellness in the most fun and rejuvenating way by introducing a UNION FAMILY SPA TIME menu designed for children – and adults! Their skilled therapists use natural and non-toxic products to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your family. Kids are sure to love Karma’s ‘You Glow’ manicure and pedicures that are delivered in indoor/outdoor spa room overlooking the ocean, while at the same time the kids can unwind with Karma’s ‘Feel Calm Seaside Foot Massage’.
The Karma Spa team can also curate a bespoke family spa experience for you, such as a package where mum and dad have a massage while the kids can get their manicure or foot massage. Another highlight from Karma Spa is their weekly complimentary Kids Yoga class. This is a great way for the young ones to learn about the benefits of moving stretching in a fun and playful way. With simple poses and gentle guidance, your child will develop balance, body awareness, core strength, breathing techniques, motor planning and concentration.
Facial
Our skin needs proper care, that is a fact, and, as parents, it is never too young to ask our kids to treat their skin. Back in the day, going for a facial treatment was meant only for older people with wrinkles. These days, a regular visit to the spa for youngsters, particularly girls, is considered a lifestyle to keep up.
Basically, facials are one of the methods to take care of our skin from skin problems. But the youngsters do it because they simply want to look attractive and feel confident around the opposite sex. For whatever the reason may be, at some point, girls will go in for facials. Either for getting an instant glow or as a part of some fairness treatment, introducing facials to our kids is an investment for a better understanding of skin health.
In Ubud, DaLa Spa introduces your little ones to the feel-good benefits of a spa pampering session with age-appropriate treatments created to soothe young skin. This 30-minute experience starts with a foot bath infused with fresh mint, orange and red rose petals. Pineapple pieces are then used to naturally exfoliate tiny toes. Finally, chilled slices of cucumber are applied to the face as a cooling mask while a gentle foot massage is performed.
Hairstyling
Kids are always searching for ways to express their identity, and hairstyle is one way to do that. Starting from a variety of colours to an asymmetric cut, or a shaved design to dreadlocks, they want to emulate the style of their favourite pop stars or athletes.
In Bali, there are so many places for kids to do their hairstyling. However, not many salons or barbers are able to give a kid the appropriate haircut they desired. At Bali Barber, they do all types of hairs and styles. Whether it be a burr cut, brush-up texture, mohawk, side quiff, dreadlocks, or any other styles, they can make it done.
Nail Care
As parents, we want to teach our kids how to care for themselves. This includes teaching them to care for their nails at an early age. Since nails take a beating, introducing the little ones to the importance of treating nails can help them develop healthy nail-care habits.
Manicures, pedicures and nail polish are exciting activities for the little ladies as they get the chance to pick and choose from a variety of beautiful colours, especially the sparkly polishes. For sure, your kids don’t want to ruin their beautiful nails, and this automatically will stop their biting habits. However, to prevent problems, children might need an adult to help them trim their fingernails or toenails, and it is advisable to do it with a professional in a salon.
It is easy for the little ladies to find a decent place to get their nails done. A place like The Shampoo Lounge will give their nails a ‘WOW’ result. They have so many fantastic choices of manicures-pedicures with matching nail arts.
