The school holidays can feel like a whirlwind; endless activities, late nights, and a house that never quite stays tidy. When September rolls around and the kids head back to school, there’s often a collective sigh of relief… followed closely by the realisation of how tired you are.
This is the perfect time to pause, reset, and start putting a little energy back into you. After all, when you feel good, everything else flows more easily, too.
Reset with a Deep Tissue Massage
Sometimes, though, it’s not just your mind that’s tired, it’s your body too. Carrying shopping bags, bending over to tie shoelaces, hours of driving… it all builds tension in your muscles.
A Deep Tissue Massage at Luminis is one of the most effective ways to release that built-up stress. Unlike a lighter, more relaxing massage, deep tissue work targets knots and tightness to restore movement, ease aches, and leave you feeling lighter (both physically and mentally).
A Golden Touch: Discovering the Gold Bespoke Facial at Luminis
Are you constantly on the lookout for a next-level treatment that feels both indulgent and effective? Then the Gold Bespoke Facial at Luminis Beauty Spa might just be your new go-to.
Unlike one-size-fits-all facials, the Gold Bespoke Facial is precisely that: bespoke. It begins with a personalised skin consultation, where your therapist takes the time to understand your skin type, concerns, and goals. From there, they handpick a combination of advanced technologies and treatments tailored just for you, such as:
-
Lifting, Ultrasonic, and Galvanic Technologies
-
DermaLux Light Therapy
-
Epionce Lite Refresh Peel
-
Comfort Zone Hydra Memory or Remedy
-
A relaxing Facial Mask
-
Eye-brightening with the Luminis Eye Opener
-
A comforting Shoulder, Head, and Neck Massage
Depending on your skin’s needs, your therapist may focus on hydration, firming, gentle exfoliation, or overall skin tone enhancement. And that Shoulder, Head, and Neck Massage? It’s the cherry on top! Become a Beauty Pass member and receive a gold facial for just £89 a month.
The Power of Magnesium
One of the simplest (and most underrated) ways to support your body is magnesium. Known as “nature’s relaxant,” magnesium plays a role in over 300 processes in the body, from supporting muscle function to helping with sleep quality.
During busy, stressful times, our bodies use up magnesium more quickly. That’s where a good supplement can help. We love Ancient + Brave True Magnesium Powder. A gentle blend designed to support relaxation and deep, restorative sleep. Sipping it before bed can help quieten a racing mind and prepare you for the rest you probably didn’t get enough of over the summer holidays.
Relax into deep harmony at home with one of our Luminis candles.
Imagine settling into a quiet moment, the soft glow of the Byblos Candle flickering gently beside you. At the first whiff, bright citrus notes of lemon mingle subtly with elemi, offering a fresh, clean opening. Notes of cedar, sandalwood, and amber weave together for a rich, grounding foundation. Hints of frankincense, black pepper, and myrrh elegantly emerge, lending a warm, aromatic complexity that’s both calming and sophisticated.
Looking for a real day of full relaxation? Discover the Infrared Sauna at Luminis: Deep Warmth Meets Gentle Wellness
Ever wish you could deliver a full-body hug that renews you from the inside out? That’s exactly what our Sunlighten Infrared Sauna at Luminis Chislehurst feels like, a comforting, low-heat sanctuary designed for real wellbeing, without the overwhelming blast of a traditional sauna.
Why It Feels So Good
Unlike traditional saunas (which crank up the heat to 82–89 °C), our infrared version gently warms you between 43–54 °C. That means you can relax and stay inside longer, giving the infrared waves time to reach deep into your tissues. Think of it as a warmth that works more deeply, rather than feeling like you’re sitting in a steam cloud
Small Everyday Rituals
Beyond supplements and treatments, there are lots of small things you can do to look after yourself once school’s back in session:
-
Go for a walk after drop-off – fresh air and movement set the tone for the day.
-
Set a wind-down routine – dim lights, stretch, and avoid screens for 30 minutes before bed.
-
Stay hydrated – energy dips are often a sign of dehydration.
