Hi, all!
Summer is in full swing, and I don’t know about you but I don’t need a reason to relax and luxuriate. I may have found just the place for those of you that may feel the same way – Body by Brooklyn Spa. The gem is perfect for a girls day, couples spa day or a relaxation day for yourself! I was invited to stop by to tour the facilities as well as experience the spa for myself, and I was so impressed! Let me tell you all about it.
When you enter the Body by Brooklyn Spa you’re welcomed by the super friendly front desk employee that will sign you in and give you the keys to your locker in the locker room so that you can change as well as a big, plush white robe. The locker room is so nice! It’s well lit, organized and beautifully decorated. There are complimentary items, soothing music being played while you change as well. If you walk deeper into the spacious locker room you’ll see luxe showers for your convenience after your spa experience is over.
After I changed into my swimsuit and covered up in my comfy white robe, I was escorted to the wet lounge where I spent most of my day. When you open the doors of the wet lounge you’ll probably be so excited to try everything but in my opinion the experience is greater if you follow the method that your escort tells you to.
First, go into the steam room and sit (no more than 30 minutes I believe) and exfoliate using the peppermint scrub that they give you for your body. This scrub is amazing and it left the steam room smelling great as well. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and it has a little bit of oil in it so it also moisturizes your body!! You’re also given a honey scrub for exfoliating your face. OMG, it does wonders. Be careful though because I put it on my face and then while I was scrubbing the steam made the honey get into my eye lol. Anywho, the scrubs are great. I even brought the remains of it home when I was done.
The steam room is so relaxing. It opens up your pores, and frees your body of all stress. Once you’re done with the steam room you’re supposed to walk into the cold plunge pool. My gosh! I believe that it’s 45 degrees. I attempted to do this twice and finally had the guts to go through with it on the 3rd try, and it felt amazing. It is freezing when you jump into it and when you get out of the water your skin is stinging from the change. It’s almost like you can feel your pores closing. It’s a great experience even though it’ll probably take you a few tries unless you’re gutsy enough to just run it. It’s totally worth it.
Jacuzzi’s are godly to me. All I need is a great jacuzzi and I’m good. Well Body by Brooklyn’s jacuzzi definitely didn’t disappoint. You can enjoy the experience without bubbles or with them as you soak. I preferred bubbles, of course. I could’ve stayed in that jacuzzi all day.The sauna was great too. Like the steam room, you feel your pores opening and the feeling is out of this world. I can’t take too much heat without getting a migraine but surprisingly I was totally fine.
I felt like jello by the end of this experience. My skin looked bright and new, I felt so refreshed, and ready to take on the new week. When you’re done with the wet lounge you can make your way to the regular lounge where there is a bar and food is also served. Eating and relaxation? Yes please.
I had such a great experience at Body by Brooklyn. When you want to escape Manhattan, and the stresses of everyday life, make your way to Body by Brooklyn Spa. You definitely won’t regret it.
Thank you so much to Body by Brooklyn Spa for their hospitality!
