On Rejuvenation Rituals


Reading Time: 4 minutes

Hey you. 2026 is on, and your body and mind deserve a recharge to kickstart the year. If you want to pep your step, a me-time massage is a very wise move.

WHOLE LOTTA BEAUTY HISTORY

Saks Beauty first opened in 1995, and our beauty experts have devised one helluva massage menu since then. A clever combo of hands-on expertise, intuitive touch, and sensory bliss.

We understand the body. How tension builds, where it hides, and what it takes to melt it away. We know how to promote detoxification and leave skin smoother. From express neck-and-back releases to the luxuriant Sensory Heaven face and body experience, there’s a Saks massage to suit your mood, your body state, and your timeframe.

Each treatment is designed so you leave feeling lighter, brighter, and good to GO. See what’s on the menu at your Saks Beauty salon.

SEASONAL SWITCH-UPS

In summer, lighter oils and lymphatic drainage help refresh and detoxify – perfect pre-holiday prep. In colder months, richer oils and deeper warming massage moves revive muscles and restore skin glow.

Everyone’s needs differ – some customers want a quick daytime pick-me-up, others an indulgent nighttime escape… it’s great to float off home to bed. These tweaks make every massage feel intentional and restorative.

THE SLEEP BOOSTING POWER OF MASSAGE

Poor sleep impacts our daily lives. Massage can be a powerful remedy. By encouraging the release of melatonin and reducing stress hormones, massage helps the body switch naturally into a calmer state, ready for rest. It also soothes muscle fatigue and restless legs, which are common reasons people find it hard to settle at night.

Beyond the physical benefits, massage gives the mind a chance to slow down. Softening that busy brain and making space for restorative sleep. If only we could teleport our customers straight home into bed after a massage.

HOT TIP: MAGNESIUM MATTERS

Magnesium is a sleep superstar. It calms the nervous system, boosts melatonin and relaxes muscles – even restless legs. Take a supplement or rub a cream or spray on your feet before bed, then unwind with a meditation or your fave podcast. Make regular massage, magnesium and meditation the basis of your bedtime toolkit and the zeds will be on their way!

WHAT MAKES SAKS MASSAGE SPECIAL

All Saks therapists will ask why you’re coming in. We listen and tune in to how you want to feel when you leave. Transforming how you feel is what it’s all about. Paying attention and targeting areas to work on. Nothing worse than feeling a knot that’s been overlooked.

OUR EXPERTS SPILL (AND SIP) THE TEA

Salon owners Debbie at Saks Guisborough and Michelle at Saks West Bridgford chat on massage moves, at-home rituals, and making me-time a major part of your day.

A MAJOR MOVE

Debbie “I love gliding around the scapula with my elbow, chasing away tension and knots. It’s incredibly satisfying, and the pressure can be adapted to suit.”

REJUVENATION RITUALS

Michelle “As a busy mum of two, the most powerful moments are often the quietest. At night, I use the BeautyLab Youth Elixir Night Complex cream that we use in salon. Facial-in-a-bottle magic that works while I sleep. In the morning I’ll have a coffee, but the real energiser is my skin ritual. I cleanse, hydrate and take a few mindful minutes. Then I’m polished and ready to step into mum-mode.”

Debbie “Exercise is a non-negotiable. It helps me feel energised and at my best. And I also savour my first cup of tea of the day. I’m an early bird – the stillness lets me set my intentions, rather than it being full on from the minute I wake up.”

NAUGHTY BUT NIIIICE

Debbie, “Is food related! That first bite of Grasmere gingerbread from the Lakes… the smell, the crunch, the comfort. Also, a cheese board with grapes and chutney with a good glass of red.”

Michelle “Make that a triple indulgence. the BeautyLab Re-energizing Ceramide Face Mask on and chocolate in hand. Add a cheeky glass of fizz and it’s a spa-like moment – but it’s just me hiding from the kids in the bathroom!”

YOU DO YOU

Remember, daily rituals don’t have to be zen to lift your mood and energy. A quick dance like no one’s watching, cheeky coffee, getting some steps in or curating a playlist to boost your spirits. Whatever floats your boat… you do you.
