Getting a spa treatment is one way for you to ensure the health of your body. However, not just any kind of spa treatment should do. Instead, try to experience the unique sensations provided by some of the most exotic and unique spa treatments around the world.

In Oman, you can try being treated to a gold body mask. It is a form of chrysotherapy, which involves the use of gold in the treatment of various ailments such as depression, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis. The gold powder is supposed to be beneficial and effective in regulating the ionic balance of the skin and absorbing pollutants. The skin is first exfoliated using a mint and basil scrub then covered with the body mask composed of clay and gold. An oil infused with gold is then massaged into the body as well as the face and the scalp.

If you ever get to visit Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean, you can experience the queen conch shell scrub. The conch shell, along with its lining of mother-of-pearl, is crushed and then mixed with a fragrant oil to make a gentle, exfoliating scrub. The shell bits, which contain keratins and proteins, scrub away dead skin cells and revitalize the skin.

For something invigorating, you can travel to Peru and get a coca leaf body mask treatment. The coco leaves are used to improve the circulation of blood and get rid of toxins in the body. They contain large doses of calcium as well as benzoine and papaine, alkaloids that are especially good for the skin. The leaves also happen to contain the alkaloids which are used to produce cocaine, however, there is no need for you to worry when you get this treatment since it is not addictive.

A black pearl body treatment can be had in Tahiti where your skin can savour the luxurious experience of being buffed by crushed black pearls. These pearls are said to possess skin lightening as well as anti-ageing qualities. After the treatment, your skin would then be left glowing with the same lustre as the pearls.

When you are travelling through China, you can make a stop in Beijing and get a jade hot stone massage. Pieces of precious jade are heated and then used to massage your body to loosen muscles. The mystical properties of jade are believed to impart spiritual and mental well-being as well as relaxation.
