There are few things more relaxing and soothing than lying down on a bed of clean, white sheets for a deep-tissue massage, hydrating facial, or body wrap. But if you haven’t done your research, a single thought could completely disrupt your peace of mind: What’s in those products?
Our skin absorbs a significant amount of what we apply to it, meaning that any lotion, cream, serum, or oil put onto the skin can seep into our pores and potentially enter our bloodstream. If these products are comprised of toxic chemicals, then we’re bound to be headed for danger, rather than rejuvenation.
With your safety in mind, we’ve rounded up 11 spas in Philadelphia that use all-natural, chemical-free ingredients and products. That way, you can forget the stress and enjoy getting pampered.
