These stimulating spa treatments should help banish jet lag in no time.
From fatigue to loss of concentration and sluggishness, it’s hard to enjoy your vacation when you’re suffering from jet lag. In addition to compromised mental and motor skills, the extremely dry air on flights takes its toll on skin, requiring rehydration and lots of TLC on the ground. If you need an extra boost on arrival, spa jet lag treatments can help you get acclimated to Hawaiian time in a pleasurable way.
