Calling All Men to Spa Space

If you’ve been wondering what to get that special guy for a holiday gift this year – even if that special guy is you – look no further than Spa Space, the Chicago spa with the reputation of being one of the best Chicago spas. Spa Space is your preferred spa in downtown Chicago. Located in the West Loop, Spa Space is considered the most progressive Chicago spa downtown for men and women. Focusing on the therapeutic approach to massage and innovations in skin care services and products, Spa Space is unique in its approach to treating body and mind.

Spa Space is acclaimed as a men’s spa. Our environment is very comfortable for men, offering a men’s locker room with steam/rain showers and a men’s relaxation lounge. While all of our services are appropriate for men, some of our most popular services chosen by men include:

Fitness Facial (anti-aging, soothing, rosacea-safe, plant-based) – Our trademark facial for healthy skin. See and feel an immediate difference in texture, clarity and smoothness. This facial is meticulously customized to your skin’s needs: whether it’s intense hydration, clearing breakouts, or repairing sun damage and fine lines. This high-performance, results-oriented treatment combines a gentle glycolic solution with active ingredients and a stimulating facial massage.

Men’s Deep Clean Facial (all skin types) – Using products designed to remove dead skin cells and thoroughly clean the pores, this facial leaves the skin renewed and balanced. Ingrown hairs and breakout-prone areas are addressed.

Instant-Lift Brightening Facial (hyper-pigmentation, dull, aging skin) – Improves elasticity, color tone, balance and overall skin health. Producing the most noticeable instant results, this advanced anti-aging treatment uses enzyme-proteins that increase the elasticity of the skin, with application of layered tightening masks. The highly restorative components of Epicuren’s active enzyme vitamin protein complex were originally developed for burn treatment, and then modified and perfected for treatment of healthy human skin.

Back Facial – Your esthetician will customize the treatment to best suit your skin type. This hard to reach and oft-neglected area will be given a true “facial”: a deep-cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, and a mask to balance the skin.

Ultimate Eye Treat – The healing and restorative powers of collagen are infused into the delicate eye area for improved elasticity, smoothing and plumping fine lines.

Facial Bronzing Application – Your esthetician will expertly apply a layer of non-pore-clogging tanning product to give your restored skin a healthy, sun-kissed glow. The ideal time to bronze is immediately following exfoliation and hydration.

Spa Space also offers a variety of peels for men, including a Brightening Hot Peel (tightening mask), Pigment Balancing Peel, Microdermabrasion (all skin types, anti-aging, anti-acne (non-cystic))), and Dermaplaning plus Peel.

Of course, in addition to facials in Chicago, Spa Space is also down for massage in downtown Chicago, pedicures in Chicago, and more. There’s plenty to do to allow you to enjoy Spa Space as a day spa in Chicago – and it’s also known as a couples day spa. Bring that special someone with you and live it up at Spa Space.

Benefits of Couples Massage

As noted on the Fashion Spot, often, couples are busy and find little time to be alone without worrying about what they need to get done or haven’t gotten done that day, notes Esther Boykin, a licensed marriage and family therapist and co-founder of Group Therapy Associates. “But during a massage session, people are almost instinctually driven to let go of the past and the future and turn their attention to the present moment. This practice of being fully engaged in an activity together that can help couples reconnect, and with a little effort, they can bring that same level of mindful awareness to their time outside of the massage,” she says.

According to Stef Safran, dating expert and owner of Chicago matchmaking and social networking service Stef and the City, massages stimulate the release of many feel-good hormones, which boost feelings of intimacy and affection. “Most notably, touch increases oxytocin (otherwise known as the ‘cuddle-chemical’), as well as serotonin and dopamine,” he explains. “So basically, a couple’s massage is pretty much a scientific love potion.”

“A massage causes all of the muscles in your body to relax, which, in turn, relaxes your mind,” points out Carole Lieberman, M.D., relationship expert and author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets. “This makes you feel less anxious about being with your partner on an emotional and a sexual level. Plus, massages stop short of orgasm (or at least they’re supposed to), leaving you hovering on the brink and ready for your lover to complete the act.”

“Research tells us that partners who continue to inject novelty into their relationships have closer, more rewarding bonds,” details couples therapist Dr. Holly Cox of Lotus Therapy Center in Raleigh, NC. “I think couples massage, for couples in which both partners find the idea interesting, can offer an avenue to that shared adventure.”

With that background, it’s easy to see why Spa Space has a outstanding reputation as a couples day spa. As a best day spa in Chicago, It’s fully expected that Spa Space would offer a wide assortment of activities for couples.

Couples massage and pedicures in a private suite for two are among Spa Space’s options for enjoying some relaxation time together. Offering one of Chicago’s few “true” couple’s massage rooms and unique treatments exclusive to Spa Space, you can’t pick a better place to spend a romantic spa day.

Couples Massage: The Art of Touch – unique and romantic! – This interactive and instructive session involving a couple and a massage therapist allows each partner to receive massage from the therapist and their partner (4 hands are better than 2!), and learn and practice massage techniques especially designed to suit the needs of their partner. A romantically unique experience!

Side-by-side Massage for Two – traditional couples massage – Share the relaxation experience by scheduling your choice of massages (or body treatments) in our adjoining treatment rooms. Sliding doors allow plenty of personal space (and privacy if desired), but a feeling of togetherness. Great for couples or friends who would like to experience services together.

Dual Pedicures – For privacy and shared relaxation, please request our Pedicure Suite (accommodates only two guests). Feel free to bring a bottle of wine – we’ll provide the glassware!

Side-by-side 60-minute Swedish Massages – Luxurious hand softening treatment with a sugar scrub and paraffin dip, preparing your hands for some lovin’ touch! We’ll send you home with a bottle of Kama Sutra “Oil of Love” (edible!), and you can take it from there…

Spa Lovers (Package for Couples) – “Art of Touch” Instructional Massage Session for Couples, 60-minute Swedish Massage for each person (in separate massage rooms), and Side-by-Side Pedicures in our private Pedicure Suite for two.

To arrange for your special massage for couples, contact Spa Space today. It’s one of the best day spas in Chicago and a great place for couple spa days.

Get Ready for Baby at Spa Space

Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a woman’s life – full of excitement, expectation and joy. At Spa Space, the best Chicago spa, you can celebrate this special time of life with treatments designed to pamper, relax, and remember the joys of pre-motherhood while treating the common aches and pains which so often accompany a rapidly-changing body.

While all of these services and the products used are generally considered safe during pregnancy, you should always get your doctor’s permission in advance of scheduling.

Prenatal Massage – Specially designed for the most deserving of clients, this Swedish-style massage will help maintain the skin’s elasticity while alleviating added stress on the back and legs. After the first trimester, lying face down during a massage increases the pressure on the uterus as well as the uterine ligaments. The safe alternative is to position the pregnant client on her side with her head, legs and stomach supported with pillows. The therapist can then work safely on her back and legs without creating any increased pressure. Please check with your doctor before scheduling.

Vitamin C Booster Facial (all skin types) – Hormonal changes can affect the texture, color and clarity of your skin. This vitamin-rich treatment is our favorite pick for moms-to-be because it beautifully addresses imbalances and infuses antioxidants – a great antidote and protector against hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and environmental damage. Gentle cleansing and removal of surface impurities are followed by a firming mask and a three-step infusion of revitalizing nutrients: vitamin C serum, vitamin B5 gel, and a balancing hydrator. Products are custom-selected to meet the individual’s needs.

Rejuvenating Facial (dry skin, mature skin, sensitive skin, rosacea, cooling) – Removal of dead skin cells is the first order of business in this skin-reviving treatment. Complete exfoliation and a pore-stimulating mask prepare the skin to receive the hydrating powers of the Biocellulose Restorative Mask. Ideal for a sensitive, mature, or dry skin type.

Mango-Sugar Body Scrub – Ideal for itchy, dry skin, this full-body exfoliation sloughs off dead cells while its rich oil base deeply hydrates (a key element in prevention of stretch marks). The scrub is also vitamin-rich, which nourishes your skin and gives it a healthy glow.

Great Expectations Spa Day – For the ultimate treat prior to the arrival of that little bundle of joy, schedule a Great Expectations spa deal in Chicago at Spa space. The four-hour session will include a 90-min. Prenatal Massage, Vitamin C Booster facial and a vanilla almond pedicure and manicure. You will be relaxed and nurtured from head to belly to toes!

Of course, you don’t have to be pregnant to enjoy everything that the best day spa in Chicago has to offer. You don’t even have to be a woman. Spa Space is equally well known as a men’s spa. You can also share time with each other in our couples day spa. For Chicago massage spas, facials in Chicago, pedicures in Chicago and so much more, you owe it to yourself – and your unborn child – to enjoy this outstanding Chicago spa today.
