How to Care for Winter Skin Discover expert tips to protect skin from winter dry air and irritation from wearing masks. WTS International asked our Preferred Vendors for their best recommendations on how to care for your skin this season. To meet all WTS Preferred Vendors, click here. Our skin is facing so much this winter! In addition to its constant acclimation to excessive cold outside and heating systems inside, we have pandemic-induced stress spikes and continuously wearing masks to contend with. The result for the complexion is any combination of dryness, dehydration, increased sensitivity and rashes, and the dreaded mascne. Keeping cleansing gentle and boosting hydration while supporting the skin’s microbiome can restore balance to the epidermis to provide relief and a complexion glowing with health. SOUFFLE MARIN Cleansing Foaming Cream oxygenates the skin with anti-pollution algae extracts to give suffocated skin a breath of fresh air while gently removing impurities. Our PREBIOFOCE Balancing Soothing Concentrate is a serum that restores ideal healthy micro-flora levels with marine prebiotics so skin becomes visibly soothed, even-toned with reduced break out, in as quickly as a week of use. Try this serum under HYDRA ORIGINAL Thirst-Relief Melting Cream, which deeply quenches and plumps the skin with long-lasting moisture to eliminate tightness, flaking, and fine dehydration lines. Learn more about PHYTOMER. For all of winter’s seasonal highs, dry and itchy skin are unfortunately a few of the seasonal lows. Switching to a more hydrating moisturizer (at the first sign of changing weather) proves to be one of the most helpful things you can do for your skin. Although the harshness of indoor heating can take a toll on your skin, a daily skincare routine can save your skin from winter. But remember, no matter how many serums and creams are applied, dry skin will tend to stay dry without some light exfoliation. Using Natura Bissē’s DIAMOND GLYCO EXTREME PEEL will help peel the layers of dead skin away. Once your skin is exfoliated, your serums and moisturizers can really get to work in protecting and optimizing your skin for the harshness of winter. Learn more about Natura Bissē. Cozy up with Valmont’s comforting skincare products to erase dry skin during the cold winter months. The skin can lose more than 25% of its ability to hold moisture during winter which is why it’s important to use products that lock in hydration and protect the balance of the skin. Valmont’s Purity line removes makeup and gently cleanses, by promoting the harmony of the skin flora. As a result, the skin is clean without being stripped and purified without feeling dry. Purity is available in nine different textures and treats the skin to a blend of effectiveness and sensory delight. A favorite from this collection includes Face Exfoliant which offers an ultra-creamy texture with quartz to provide a gentle exfoliation for soft and supple skin. The hydration ritual by Valmont offers benefits for everyone! These products hydrate, plump and smooth lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration and cold weather. With increased moisture levels, texture regains suppleness and skin is less sensitive. The collection features a diverse range of products to preserve youth, fight aging and comfort the skin. Priming with a Hydrating fluid is a must-have as it immediately relieves tightness in a beautiful priming mist. Serumulsion provides the anti-aging benefits of a serum delivered in the form of a cream. Moisturizing With A Cream and Moisturizing With A Mask quench dryness by providing intense hydration, the first moment of application. Valmont provides the perfect solution to transition your skincare routine from summer to winter. Learn more about La Maison Valmont. Winter can be a harsh time for our skin! Because of the lack of moisture in the air and cold temperatures, our skin is most vulnerable to dryness, cracks and fissures. This can be frustrating, and you may feel as if there is no hope. But not to worry – there is hope! Here’s how to improve your skin’s health this winter: First – Exfoliate! No matter how many serums and creams are applied, dry skin will stay dry without exfoliating. A good gentle exfoliator will get your skin prepared. Our Triple Action Organic Scrubs made with linseeds are designed to gently exfoliate even the most sensitive of skin. Next – Take that extra step by applying a hydrating serum. Serums penetrate deep into the skin to provide extra benefits. Our unique Ultra Vitamin C Serum, made with hyaluronic acid, applies underneath any of our moisturizers, hydrating masks or treatments. This will also significantly help fight winter dryness. Then – Stay moisturized! Use a rich moisturizer to seal and protect. Hydrasoft Cream or skin-specific Hydrasoft Lotions are made with shea butter and other natural hydrating ingredients created to lock in essential moisture and deeply hydrate your skin. Finally – Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water! It is especially important for the health of our skin. Learn more about UltraLuxe. CBD Care Garden is a Wellness & Beauty Company that features clean plant-based natural ingredients infused with Broad Spectrum CBD and formulated with our proprietary technology to maximize topical nutrient absorption. The winter season can often dry out the moisture our skin needs to protect it from the environmental elements and premature aging. The added lifestyle protective measure with the more frequent use of hand sanitizers can wipe out the natural oil barriers designed to support the function of our skin. CBD Care Garden is proud to offer a line of THC free CBD infused topicals, that are designed to enhance the health of the Skin. Our formulas are concentrated in omega-rich fatty acids, delivering Vitamins + Antioxidants, while also harnessing the power of healing plants known to restore the skin from inflammation, dryness, and redness. In a recent study, the topical incorporation of CBD was shown to support the skin’s functions related to the production of Sebum, providing significant anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin, bolstering the natural defense mechanisms of the Skin. At CBD Care Garden we love to showcase all the glorious plant ingredients we incorporate in our formulas because after all, they do offer more than “just” the incredible CBD! Learn more about CBD Care Garden. As environmental temperature drops, heat is lost from the body. Almost all of the skin’s problems associated with the cold can be derived from these two facts. Cold skin is poorly-functioning skin characterized by dryness, itching, and inflammation, all resulting from a greater loss of water. Categorically, you can say that when skin is cold, it shifts into low gear and its ability to function is greatly compromised. Here are some suggestions to protect winter skin: Use sun protection of at least SPF 30. While winter sunlight is not as intense, it still has a lot of UVA and UVB energy. If the skin is exposed, it is vulnerable to ultraviolet damage. Make a friend of moisturizers. A cold environment is usually a dry environment. Cool air loses its ability to hold water. Dry skin is usually flaky. If the dryness is severe, the skin will crack, making it a very poor barrier. Drink an adequate supply of water. Normally you can lose as much as 500 milliliters of trans-epidermal water a day. That is equivalent to one pint of water. Try to drink two to four ounces of water every couple of hours throughout the day. Dry, cold skin is the playground of free radicals. Using products with vitamin C and vitamin E and taking these as oral supplements will enhance resistance to free radical damage. While long, hot showers may be comforting, they are also quite injurious to winter damaged skin. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, which can really tear up the skin barrier. Learn more about Circadia. Winter can take its toll on our complexions, with indoor heating stripping the skin of moisture and harsh weather causing redness and irritation. Now’s the time to re-evaluate your skincare regime and if needed, change up your facial products to address any new skin concerns. For example, by introducing thicker, more hydrating lotions to your routine you can help counteract the drying effects of central heating and infuse your skin with moisture. As we are spending more and more time at home, one of the things we recommend to maintain good skin health and destress, is an at-home facial. Once a week take some extra time to really treat your skin, as this will help to counteract the effects of central heating, the harsh cold weather and the general wear and tear on your skin. The benefits are endless, your skin will be kept in optimum health so you are less prone to breakouts, congestion, and dry/dehydrated skin, resulting in a more radiant complexion. Plus, taking some well-deserved me-time, especially amongst the ongoing pandemic will also help to reduce stress levels and bring a moment of calm to your day. VOYA recommendations for your at home facial: Cleanse – Totally Balmy Tone – Ritzy Spritzy Exfoliate – Love a Scrub Mask – Hydra Veil Serum – My Little Hero Moisturiser – Pearlesque Learn more about VOYA. Ever feel like you are wearing a wool sweater when you’re not? This is an itchy side effect of winter weather, typically caused by the dry air heating your home (and let’s face it – we’re all at home a little more than we’d like to be these days!). It’s important to give the skin on your body extra love and attention when the temperature drops, so you feel like you’re wrapped in cashmere instead. At FarmHouse Fresh, we’re passionate about two key steps in our winter skin routine for the body – exfoliation and then moisturizer daily. Our favorite cold weather skin cocktail is Coconut Beach Shea Sugar Scrub, followed by a head-to-toe Moon Dip Ageless Body Mousse application. Made with sugar and whipped shea butter, Coconut Beach Shea Sugar Scrub is gentle on dry, irritated skin, but still active enough to remove dull, winter-parched skin. Why is exfoliation so important? By removing the top layer of dead cells, you allow the next product applied to penetrate better – getting maximum benefits! When your hands are dry and chapped, do you find yourself applying hand cream constantly? Yes – because you are only moisturizing the dry skin and the product can’t penetrate deeper. Moon Dip Body Ageless Mousse is described as “skincare for the body.” We loaded up this creamy, whipped body mousse with anti-aging super ingredients like peptides and time-released retinol. We also mix in Jojoba Oil, a natural humectant, and vitamin E so skin is comforted by incredible moisture, all in a light, billowy whip! Follow this simple routine (at home or at your spa) and skin will be left smooth, hydrated and younger looking all winter long! Learn more about FarmHouse Fresh. There’s plenty to love about winter. It’s the season to hit the slopes by day, and cuddle around the fireplace by night. Unfortunately, one major downside of the season is dry, cracked skin—leaving your skincare routine in need of a major boost. Not to worry: ZENTS harnesses nature’s most deeply hydrating ingredients and infuses them in skincare made specifically for the body. Gentle, moisturizing cleansers, like Aloe Moisturizing Wash, are key to preventing further irritation to already dry skin and over-washed hands. Post bathing, rich, ultra-hydrating Probiotic Lotion and nourishing Concreta get to work on your skin like a pair of medics on the scene. First, smooth Probiotic Lotion all over and let the hyaluronic acid and organic shea butter soothe any irritations. Next, apply Concreta to areas prone to cracked skin (such as hands and heels) for extreme hydration where you need it most. Learn more about ZENTS . Want to know how WTS can get your spa trending? Contact us at info@wtsinternational.com. Industry Info, Industry Trends, Spa, Spa Management, WTS Educates Read More Top 10 Wellness Trends for 2021 Every year, WTS gathers the latest trends in spa, fitness, lifestyle, and wellness from our global staff of directors, service providers, and industry experts. Our findings are presented below. Air Purification Americans spend the majority of their lives inside. According to the EPA, indoor air quality could be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air.* Scientists are studying the spread of viruses, including COVID-19, and how to remove them from the air. Consumers are interested in new filter technologies capable of capturing and destroying particles. People will expect businesses to include filtration systems in offices, restaurants, fitness centers, schools, and all other shared indoor spaces. These air filtration upgrades will be listed as an amenity to entice customers and tenants. Home units will trend as well, with people prioritizing spending on items that protect themselves and their families. * U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 1987. The total exposure assessment methodology (TEAM) study: Summary and analysis. EPA/600/6-87/002a. Washington, DC. Mental Wellness Mental wellness is finally getting the attention it deserves. Popular apps like Calm and Headspace offer micro-sessions or mini-mental breaks through guided meditations. You’ll now see more devices with build-in alerts to remind you to stop and breathe when it measures that your heart rate is up. Wearables will identify your habits and help track your progress toward reducing stress and being healthier. New features include vibrations and sound therapy that can cue you to get grounded and help improve your mood. Even in gyms, more holistic classes will be offered that connect the body and mind to strengthen total wellbeing. Tech giants like Pinterest are now entering the space with resources that include mental wellness “pins” with positive mantras, breathing exercises, and meditations for browsers. Virtual Training With fitness centers only opened in a limited capacity—or not at all—many trainers have turned to virtual classes. This has allowed gyms to expand beyond their local clientele to reach a global audience, while allowing customers to connect through a live experience, as if they were in a traditional group class. Many gyms have pivoted and can now compete with home brands such as Peloton and Mirror. Those home gym options have gained popularity too as people have become more comfortable with tech in their fitness routines. Nisha Patel, WTS’s Marketing Manager for fitness properties, says, “I’m noticing more people connecting with trainers via social media, especially since there’s been a huge increase in the number of trainers leveraging social media to offer free classes. They are also offering at-home fitness advice.” Circadian Health People are looking beyond the mere number of hours of sleep they get to better understand their quality of rest. Research has shown how circadian rhythms, a person’s internal clock, impact health. Circadian rhythms are influenced by environmental factors, especially light. Devices will flood the market that filter out blue light from screens on tablets, phones, and computers, which interfere most with sleep. You’ll see more of these devices in the workplace as growing research supports a link to productivity. Also coming are sleep tracking devices that can dim your lights, drop your room temperature, turn into a sound machine, track your sleep, give you personalized recommendations on winding down, and soon may be able to release a relaxing scent. Lymphatic Health Lymphatic health will be included in more treatments and programs from beauty to bodywork. Your lymphatic system extends throughout the body and acts as a drainage network, eliminating waste from your cells that could otherwise lead to health issues. Massage has long included lymphatic drainage to help reduce inflammation and support a healthy immune system, but now look for this to extend to facials and through popular trends like dry brushing, foam rolling, and specific exercise programs like trampoline classes and dynamic stretching to promote the elimination of waste. Renewed Interest in Nature People have increased their interest in nature in response to more time spent in their homes. Design trends show more people investing in plants to create indoor gardens, also known as “COVID gardens.” Plants help clean the air and provide a sense of companionship. Consumers have shown shifts in behavior with increased interest in biking, hiking, and other immersive trips into nature and away from others. Local travel will continue to trend, with car-accessible nature destinations being desirable. Wellness Communities Real estate design for community spaces will focus less on well-appointed amenities and more on activities that promote wellness. We are seeing outdoor lifestyle perks like lagoons, meditation domes, community farms, and juice bars. According to Mary Lynn Mellinger, Director of Planning and Design at WTS International, “What we’re seeing in wellness design lately is a desire for fresh air. This is of course driven by the pandemic, but will no doubt continue as time goes by. That includes, more indoor/outdoor spaces, offering people the opportunity to enjoy social interactions while allowing for the free flow of air to combat virus transmission. Windows that function and permit breezes to flow through and naturally cool and ventilate the rooms are popular as well. Everything old is new again!” Virtual Care New virtual care apps are emerging constantly. Even traditional medical practices are joining the trend. Patients are getting diagnoses and care through virtual connections, and insurance companies are increasing their telehealth reimbursements. Wearables will expand offerings to include much more than tracking activity levels, food, and sleep. You’ll see more goal-setting options that share health data with doctors. Virtual care will focus on preventable medical care to help boost healthy habits, strengthen relationships with care providers, and improve patient outcomes. Virtual care could also make care more accessible, helping overcome capacity constraints due to the pandemic. New technology is emerging that could allow apps to support various home testing like 3D body scans. These advancements in the marketplace could help give doctors a better snapshot of your health. Healthy Boosts With healthy lifestyles a priority for consumers, adaptogens (natural substances with medicinal properties) and CBD (or cannabinol, a compound found in the cannabis plant without intoxicating properties), are still trendy. Functional doctors and therapists have been increasingly prescribing these boosts to help with anxiety, pain, sleep, and stress. You’ll see more and more of these blended into smoothies, coffee, and topicals. Jen Daniels, President of Meristem Farms, a CBD farm in Vermont, says, “Creativity in hemp (CBD) product formulations is limitless, from band-aids to beverages. We need only to ensure that our science and regulations galvanize and keep pace with our innovation.” Post-Pandemic Behavior Some wellness trends introduced during the pandemic will be here to stay. Businesses will continue to offer work-from-home options, decrease nonessential business travel, and enhance corporate wellness opportunities to support employee mental and physical wellbeing. Consumers will accelerate their interest in immunity-related products and items that limit the spread of viruses. Home trends will include repurposing extra bedrooms and other unused spaces to create dedicated home offices. A simpler, minimalistic lifestyle will prevail, centered on activities like biking, gardening, and local travel.

To read this story in full, please click here. Obviously, a lot has changed in the world since the COVID-19 pandemic began. How do you think the areas of health and wellness have changed? More than anything, I think the pandemic has increased people’s awareness of and attitudes toward their own health and wellness. Focusing on health and wellness is a conscious, proactive choice. For those of us in the industry, we think of health and wellness comprehensively to include body, mind and spirit. The “body” incorporates all aspects of physical health (e.g., aerobic exercise, strength training, nutrition, diet, etc.). The “mind” addresses mental and physiological brain health (e.g., cognitive training, memory retention, decision-making/impulse control). The “spirit” speaks to what it is to be a human being (e.g., social awareness, mindfulness, gratitude, relationships, interconnectedness). A silver lining to the pandemic is that it has given us time to focus on these areas. It has forced physical distancing, but it has also forced innovation and challenged us to find new ways of doing things. As an example, the likes of Peloton and The Mirror have allowed us to realize the social aspects and benefits of group exercise while being physically isolated at home. Apps and podcasts like Headspace address areas of meditation and mindfulness. Perhaps most important, the pandemic has afforded us the time to reengage with our families and those immediately around us…to focus on what is truly important. Whether it’s trading sourdough bread starters and baking, raised-bed and patio gardening, or simply planning and preparing family meals, the pandemic has allowed us to socially engage and to reconnect with ourselves, our family members and our friends in meaningful ways. Have you done any work to change your spas and fitness centers to accommodate social distancing? What have you done? We have implemented comprehensive procedures and physical distancing guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our guests and team members. From enabling touchless check-in and checkout, to reducing physical station capacity, to enhanced and more frequent sanitation, to providing personal protective equipment to staff and guests, we are doing everything we can to ensure people’s safety while still providing the experience and benefits our guests and members expect to receive when visiting one of our spas or fitness centers.

To read this story in full, please click here. Very quickly, communities have had to shift programming schedules and protocols to ensure residents can participate safely in events and social gatherings. WTS International’s Corporate Operations Director, Amy Gallogly, and Lifestyle Director, Lynne Edwards, were asked to share some strategies that WTS has implemented nationwide to help keep residents connected. “I have been so impressed by the flexibility and ingenuity the lifestyle professionals continue to show,” says [Amy] Gallogly. “It’s really been remarkable how quickly they have been able to adapt. Social events like ‘Wine-Down’ Wednesdays, the annual Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and ‘summer kick-offs’ have taken place in driveways and clubhouse parking lots all over during these past four months. In some of our 55+ communities, we offer a live stream of bingo night, weekly happy hours, and even chef demonstrations.” “Philanthropic events have been another way to connect in 55+ communities,” says [Lynne] Edwards. “Partnering with the local food pantries and food banks, working with the local United Way, has really helped to keep the community spirit alive. Many of the clubs and groups like ladies’ and men’s lunch groups, book clubs, wine tasting, guitar club, etc. have been able to meet outside, weather permitting, while social distancing. This has also helped to maintain social connections safely. Block parties are popular as well, where everyone sets up their own tables, chairs, food, and music at the end of their driveways and socialize from a distance with their neighbors.” To speak to WTS about how your community can thrive, contact us at info@wtsinternational.com. Client Programs, Daily Management, Industry Info, Industry Trends, Lifestyle, WTS In The News, WTS Staff Read More WTS International 2020 Trend Forecast Every year, WTS gathers the latest trends in spa, fitness, lifestyle and wellness from our global staff of directors, service providers and industry experts. Our findings are presented below. 01 EPIGENETICS AND HEALTH Epigenetic, meaning above the genome, is the science behind how we can modify the way our bodies utilize genetic code. Even though we can’t change the genes our parents gave us, we can improve the way our bodies work. Some factors are in our control and through a healthy diet and exercise program, we can decrease the development of disease. New to the research are the effects of lifestyle choices. By reducing stress and promoting a holistic look at wellness, people can improve their health and not just blame our genes. More medical centers, spas, and fitness facilities with this broader understanding are offering programs that intersect and focus on the whole person. 02 BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION Most people know about the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect from UV rays but research shows there is potential long-term harm from blue light exposure. Blue light is emitted from electronic devices like computers and phones and can damage our eyesight and skin. Also, blue light may disrupt sleep cycles and cause wrinkle formation and hyperpigmentation. Wellness facilities are selling products that protect your skin and eyes and offering digital detox programs to promote less screen time. 03 OLDER ADULT TRAINING PROGRAMS Even though Baby Boomers will be outnumbered by Millennials for the first time this year, people are living longer and want to live with meaning and purpose. Long gone is the modest, gray-haired image of the over 50 crowd. Emerging is an engaged, strong, and fit consumer. More programs will be offered catering to the active needs of older adults focusing on bone density, balance, mobility and brain health. Physical activity can reduce the risk of falls and fall-related injury. Also, fitness programs can lower your risk of developing new chronic health problems like heart disease and diabetes and allow adults to thrive independently longer. 04 RECOVERY EQUIPMENT Recovery has become a key component in achieving fitness goals. Professional athletes are sharing their training techniques and how restorative tools and sessions allow them to play longer and injury-free. Gyms are adding assisted stretch sessions, percussion and compression technologies, cryotherapy chambers, and creating partnerships with chiropractors and acupuncturists. Home equipment sales are up with people using some of this same equipment away from the gym to prevent fatigue and to allow their bodies to recover and get stronger. 05 TECH IN WELLNESS Wellness has become more personalized with individual health-care devices. You can easily track your activity, your diet, your water consumption, sleep, skin PH, sun damage, stress levels, and noise levels. You can set reminders to move more, drink more, or set a feature to “celebrate” when you achieve a certain level of activity. All this data can give you a holistic look at your overall health and inspire you to make better choices every day. We see this trend expanding from wearables to smart toilets (collecting data that was only previously shared in the doctor’s office) to mobile apps that organize your health records, monitor specific biomarkers that could detect changes in blood flow, glucose levels, and warn you about blood alcohol exceeding legal levels. In the near future, these apps could incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) to help with psychiatric care, binge eating, migraine prevention, and much more. 06 NUTRITION-BASED FITNESS The conversation around fitness and food keeps growing. With the proven importance of a healthy diet in conjunction with an active lifestyle, a shift toward this relationship has never been stronger. A lifestyle medicine approach or proactive health will be prominent in most fitness centers. Messaging and programs will be geared towards helping members adopt healthy behaviors. Look for more classes and workshops that include diet and lifestyle as part of a preventive approach to wellness. 07 CUSTOMIZED SKINCARE Skincare of the past meant topicals with a few basic options. Customers would self-select a routine based on their perception of their needs. They could go to a local drug store or department store. However, today people are turning to experts to customize their care to meet their individualized concerns. This includes results-driven products, laser and peels, supplements, lifestyle, and diet suggestions. Tailored treatments are surfacing in spas and fitness centers plus at home beauty devices and regimens for “between” services. Skincare has become yet another piece and indication of overall health. 08 FUNCTIONAL TRAINING Functional training continues to remain a top fitness training modality. It goes beyond a typical workout in that its purpose (or function) is to help you perform better outside the gym. Consisting of a mix of circuit and HIIT styles with an emphasis on lunges and squats, it concentrates on groups of muscles working together instead of isolated muscle work. Functional training uses free weights and not machines to incorporate the way your body naturally moves. This workout style can help prevent injuries and build balance, coordination, and core strength. What is different this year is that the methods are becoming more diverse with regard to the types of equipment used. Steel maces, Bulgarian bags, and high tech pieces like the Reax Board are being introduced. Also, we are seeing old style gym class equipment making a comeback to change up workouts and create play-based training. 09 SUSTAINABLE WELLNESS AND BEAUTY Consumers want their impact on the environment to be reduced. They have shown with their spending habits that they will pay more for products with an eco-friendly mission. They expect less packaging, recyclable or biodegradable containers and that is just a starting point. They want to support innovators in the marketplace that are using refillable packaging or reusing plastics that are collected from ocean waste or product concentrates that remove water from the ingredient list to save on shipping resources that use smaller containers. Consumers not only choose this for home use but it is an important factor when becoming a member of a gym or spa. 10 ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES GO MAINSTREAM Mind-body therapies, or alternative therapies, are not alternative anymore. Most fitness and spa customers will expect to have access to integrative treatments like acupuncture, meditation, reiki, massage therapy, and a range of movement programs. New to the scene are sleep specialists, life coaches, healers, and spiritual guides. Members want their health and wellness needs to be met under the same roof and we see this shift strengthening in the coming year.

It must be aesthetically pleasing, provide a superlative guest experience and yet be operationally sound. A well designed spa will seamlessly integrate staff/BOH activities with the guest experience. At WTS International, we design as operators. We identify delineative design features that will create a unique guest experience and drive revenue. Below are some of the most common questions that we are asked: How many treatment rooms should I have in my spa? Over 45 years of operational experience enables WTS to recommend an appropriate number of treatment rooms and overall size of your spa. We take into account available square footage, guest mix, facility location, industry competition and the number of keys. The client’s vision is also a factor— Is an extensive aquathermal area desired? A luxury salon? Outdoor treatments? WTS can make recommendations that will enhance guest experience and drive revenue. What equipment should I buy? Based on budget, treatments and services to be offered and specific thermal amenities, WTS will recommend the right equipment for your project. As spa specialists, we stay current on the latest spa equipment across the industry to ensure that your facility makes the best investment and provides the guest with the finest experience possible.
