Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa
Sitting on the outskirts of Leeds, making the trip out to this combined hotel and spa is well worth it. From rejuvenating facials to full body massages, this spa has it all. Thorpe Park’s signature treatment is a 40-minute massage which focuses on the back, legs, and soles of your feet, before ending in a scalp massage. On-site you’ll also find a Himalayan salt sauna with detoxifying properties, an invigorating whirlpool, a cleansing steam room, and a refreshing swimming pool for those who feel like taking a dip.

La Bella Spa
Conveniently placed in Leeds city centre, La Bella Spa is a little pocket of quiet in the city centre rush. Offering four different types of massages, there’s a treatment to suit whatever intensity you need. Swedish massage uses lighter strokes to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow. A deep tissue massage is ideal for athletes or those with injuries and accesses a deeper layer of muscles than Swedish massage. Deep tissue massage is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. La Bella also provides couples massages and Thai hot oil massages.

Face steamer
Sometimes you just can’t make time for a trip to the aestheticians, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect your skincare. A home face steamer is fairly inexpensive and will help keep your face fresh and clear in-between facials. The TYLPRO 4-in-1 Facial Steamer, available from Boots, warms towels, steams your face, humidifies rooms, and diffuses aromatherapy oils, giving you the complete at-home spa experience.
