5 Self-Care Habits That Boost Spa Results at Home

Your time at Salon@31st in Virginia Beach is a treat — but what you do at home between visits really determines how long your results last. Here are five self-care habits that amplify the benefits of your spa treatments.

1. Maintain Hydration Internally & Externally

Drink plenty of water daily

● Use gentle but effective moisturizers

● Keep a facial mist or hydrating spray on hand for midday refresh

2. Follow a Simple Yet Consistent Routine

Better to stick to 3–4 high-quality steps than jump between 10 trendy products. Cleanse, treat, moisturize, protect — every day. Your skin and scalp will adapt and respond more consistently.

3. Use Your Suncare — Always

Whether it’s hair services or facials, UV exposure undoes a lot of your progress. Wear SPF on skin, use hair-safe UV sprays, and don’t skip a hat when outdoors.

4. Practice Gentle Exfoliation (Face & Scalp)

Regularly (1–2 times/week) exfoliate with gentle methods to lift dead cells and allow your spa treatments to penetrate deeper. Avoid overdoing it, especially on sensitive days.

5. Commit to Rest & Mindful Wellness

Stress and lack of rest show up on your skin and hair. Try:

● Adequate sleep

● Quiet time or meditation

● Gentle stretching

● Deep breathing or tension relief

Beauty is holistic — body, mind, and scalp/skin are connected. Salon time is rejuvenating, but home habits are where lasting change happens. Pair your facials, scalp care, or hair services at

Salon@31st with these thoughtful habits—and watch your confidence and glow deepen over time.
