I love a good day spa. Especially because I rarely have one (maybe once or twice a year) so when I have one booked, I really look forward to it!
I received a really generous gift voucher for my birthday for the Breeze Beauty Spa in Altona so I was able to book in both a facial and massage (click here to read my previous experience at Breeze Beauty Spa). I chose the Essential Breeze Facial (45 minutes) and the Swedish Massage (30 minutes). I was a bit worried about the massage as I can’t just gave any type of massage (I have some back issues). I can’t have ‘relaxing’ massages for this reason, plus I’m really ticklish so basically anything less than a remedial massage will make me very jumpy.
So I was a bit nervous but it worked out fine.

My appointment was at 9am and after being offered some herbal tea, I was taken into the room to begin the treatment. My therapist was Amanda and she was so friendly and put me at ease right away.

We started off with the massage. I’d never had a Swedish massage before so I didn’t know what to expect. Basically it’s a massage with a lot of oil! Amanda did a really good job of working all of those tense knots out. I woke up sore on Sunday so I feel like it worked.
The facial was next and it was just as good as I’d remembered. The thing I like about this spa is that the therapists are very hard working and really try to offer a great experience. In between various stages of the facial, Amanda gave scalp, neck and hand massages which was heavenly!
The facial was a bit painful as I had to have some extractions done. But it was worth it as my skin looked and felt so clear afterwards.
I had some money left over on the gift card so I bought the O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 30+ in the untinted version. I wanted the tinted version but the spa had run out of stock so I bought the untinted version instead. I tried it out today and I really like it. It doesn’t leave my skin greasy like a lot of sunscreens do. I plan to review it after I’ve used it for a few weeks, so stay tuned for that!
Where do you go for your facials?
