Cozy Spa Treatments that’ll Warm You Up in Upstate NY this Winter

​We are in the dead of winter in upstate NY and that means frigid cold temps that make you want to stay home all day. But on the other hand, being cooped up all winter isn’t good for the soul. So what’s the solution? A spa day of course! 

Heading to the spa on a cold winter's day is the best way to get you out of the house while still feeling all those cozy at home vibes you’re craving this time of year. Here are five of our cold weather treatments that’ll warm you up faster than Frosty on a warm spring day!

Hot Stone Massage 

A massage at The Saratoga Day Spa will warm you right up in and of itself, but have you thought about adding hot stones to that? If you’ve never experienced a hot stone massage, a cold snowy day is the perfect time to give it a try. Think a perfectly warm cup of tea, not too hot, and definitely not cold. You’re already lying there as comfortable as can be, and you think it isn’t possible to be any comfier. But then- the stones are placed one by one along your spine, perhaps on your shoulder blades, and the warmth radiates through you like the sun on a perfect 80 degree day by the beach. This is it. The ultimate warmth and comfort. 

Anyways.. you might as well book that massage this month because a hot stone add on is free with any 60 or 90 minute massage! 

Couples Massage

There is nothing better than cuddling with your S/O this time of year… or is there?  We say otherwise. A couples massage is our favorite way to warm up together with our partner. Why? Self-care together and de-stress = better cuddles later. Trust us on this one. Also, don’t pass up on a couples massage if you're single. Bring your BFF for a girls day in Saratoga Springs and treat yourselves before brunching at Max London’s or drinks at Bocage Champagne bar. Why? Because you deserve it. 

Brazilian Wax

It may not be quite as relaxing as the other options, but just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you should hit pause on self-care down there. And if there’s one thing a Brazilian wax will do, it’s warm you right up! Am I right? Plus, our wax specialist Jhoanna is offering a winter deal that includes a brazilian wax followed by a vagacial mask to keep her hydrated this winter. 

Warming Spices Aromatherapy Massage

Picture this: You sink into a warm, dimly lit treatment room, the air gently perfumed with the inviting, spicy aroma of fresh ginger, cinnamon, and clove. 
Ginger stimulates circulation to thaw stiff muscles and boost that inner warmth, while cinnamon and clove add grounding, invigorating notes that ease tension, support immunity, and lift your mood against seasonal dreariness. Every glide melts away stress, hydrates dry winter skin, and leaves you enveloped in a lingering, spicy glow that feels like sipping a perfect chai latte from the inside. Need I say more? 

Vanilla Clove Signature Facial 

Winter weather does not only bring the cold, but it brings the dry. That means dry air, and dry skin. Dry skin means fine lines you normally don’t see and chapped lips and knuckles. We all want to avoid that, and the best way to increase that hydration on your face (besides drinking water), is seeing your favorite aestheticians on Broadway at the Saratoga Day Spa for a facial. Pair any 60/90 minute facial with a free hand scrub add on this January and you’ve cured the winter blues and dryness all in one hour! (Or an hour and a half!) Make it spicy with our signature Vanilla Clove facial for added warmth and coziness when temps are freezing. 
So bundle up, and get yourself to the Saratoga Day Spa for some cozy, much needed pampering. You deserve it!
