Refuel, Reset, Renew
The Philadelphia area teems with salons, spas, and other destinations where self-care is a necessity, not an indulgence.
Many of us pour our hearts and souls into supporting the people around us that our own well-being quietly slips to the bottom of the list. But if we want to show up as our strongest, healthiest selves, that cycle of self-neglect has to come to an end.
Book the massage you’ve been thinking about. Treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure—or both. Start a rejuvenating skincare routine, commit to a care regiment to battle back Father Time, or stop putting off the cosmetic treatment you’ve been eyeing. If nothing else, indulge in a quiet day all to yourself—reading, wandering outdoors, or unwinding in whatever way provides the restoration your body craves.
Whenever you’re ready to visit a med spa, settle into a stylist’s chair, or add to your wardrobe in celebration of a special occasion, we have some ideas to help you make the most of the experience.
