TORONTO - Body Blitz Spa is one of the best places in the city to relax and rejuvenate without the need of getting away or booking an expensive holiday package. After spending an afternoon enjoying the therapeutic water circuit or trying one of the numerous body treatments, you will feel like a totally new person - both physically and mentally. It is also a great place if you get tired of the cold weather outside; for a couple of hours you can totally forget about the wintertime!
This women’s only spa, which gives a modern twist to ancient restorative water practices, has two Toronto locations: Body Blitz West (471 Adelaide St. West) and Body Blitz East (497 King St. East).
Two weeks ago, Fashion Studio Magazine had the pleasure to visit the east-end location and try their amazing sweet ginger + milk body glow treatment. It was definitely one of our most memorable spa experiences in Toronto and we were truly impressed with both the treatment results and with the highest level of customer service. A truly warm and welcoming atmosphere of the spa makes you want to come back again.

BENEFITS OF A SPA
More and more people turn to the spa not only for health, wellness, relaxation and anti-aging benefits, but also for some of their most important lifestyle pursuits. Today's spa experience covers everything from a medical and spiritual programs to outdoor adventures and exotic travel - with spas located in virtually every global region. A visit to a spa can provide total renewal and relaxation in a short period of time and can totally transform both your body and mind.
Water treatments are still considered the heart of the spa experience. When your body is submerged in water, you find true balance as water provides the equilibrium. Thermal baths can strengthen the immune system, ease aches and pains, and help to combat stress and nervous tension.
Many regular spa-goers say that there is nothing better than a massage if you need deep relaxation. A great spa massage can undo accumulated tensions, relax the body and mind, and renew your energy. It also improves blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries away the body's waste products.
Body Blitz Spa offers: Shiatsu massage, aromatherapy massage, and therapeutic massage. You can also "mix 'n match" and combine your massage with any body treatment. To see the full spa menu, please click here.

Great for sensitive or dry skin, this deeply nourishing treatment tightens, soothes and hydrates your skin with the natural healing properties of milk.
Sweet ginger + milk body glow treatment begins with a body wash which is followed by a sugar, ginger, cardamom and sweet orange scrub. Exfoliating helps to rejuvenate the skin by removing dead skin cells and exposing a soft and supple layer of younger skin.
After the body is rinsed, a blend of warm milk, sweet orange, vanilla and grape seed oil is gently massaged onto the skin. This is definitely the most pleasant and relaxing part of the treatment. The full body is rinsed again and then with rhythmic strokes, grape seed oil infused with sweet orange is applied to the entire body making you feel fresh and rejuvenated.
Time: 60 minutes (it is advised to arrive 90 minutes early to take full advantage of the waters)
Result: detoxified, deeply hydrated, soft and smooth-feeling skin
Highly recommended!
