1. Spa Treatments Can Leak into Your Bloodstream

Did you know that when you have a spa treatment, the effects can go deeper than just your skin? Researchers state that when you receive a spa treatment, the compounds can penetrate your skin and make their way into your bloodstream. Gnarly, eh?

Now, if you have any open sores, your risk of contamination is much higher. During treatment, the risk of transmission can be increased by the use of heated items, like baths or rocks, that are positioned on the skin.

Once again, anything applied to your skin in high doses is immediately absorbed into your bloodstream. And it could cause a painful, inflamed rash on the skin. Cringe.

2. Unsanitary Water Based Spa Treatments

Water-based spa treatments are often crawling with germs — because of tools not being cleaned. Scientific research has showed communal pools, saunas, and other water-related spa treatments can contain dangerous microorganisms.

That being said, some studies suggest the proper amount of chlorine needed to kill the germs isn’t being used at most spas. Wellness researchers suggests the amount of chlorine needed to kill germs would be so powerful that water spa-treatment patrons would see Jesus in person before the germs had a chance to die.

3. Money Grabbing Treatments

Wellness critics state expensive spa treatments are beneficial only for the providers, in the sense of increasing their wealth.

Research suggests that some exotic treatments may bring about only fleeting results or none.

The idea of risking your finances on something that may not even pay off can make your skin crawl.
