Cincinnati Spa Service: 21C Serene Routine
If you’re like me, you leave the spa after a massage, or a facial and you question yourself. You immediately say, “Why I don’t do that more often?” I know why I don’t do it as often as I should. Life gets busy, I don’t think treating myself is worth it when I could treat other people or spend it on something else, and I forget how impactful it can be. Today, I’m explaining the value of investing in yourself and specifically my favorite Cincinnati spa service, The Serene Routine.
Invest In Yourself
I believe this is often true for many of us. We see someone go to the spa, and we’re like “Ah, must be nice.” And then we come up with countless reasons why that’s not us. Well, I’m currently in one of the most draining seasons of my life.
I’m working full time, running a personal styling company on the side, as well as a fashion blog, and wedding planning and premarital counseling all at the same time. I’m so busy that I kept telling myself, I don’t have time to go out and have fun, I don’t have time to workout, I don’t have time to go to the Spa. However, I then began to realize that if I kept pouring out, but not pouring in and investing in myself, I was going to lose it.
This past week, I started working out again and as you can see, I went and experienced an amazing Cincinnati spa service! I can’t tell you how important it is to make sure you’re taking care of yourself. If you’re a busy mom or dad, or in the midst of busy season at work, maybe you’re getting ready for final exams, it’s crucial to invest in yourself.
How do I invest in myself?
What is one way you can invest in yourself? Start by making it a year long commitment to treat yourself to a Spa visit one time per season. That’s not extra at all. That’s only 4 times per year that you’re deciding to splurge on yourself and let me tell you, it will make a difference. Spending this time and money on yourself will impact your family, your relationships, your work, your mental health and your physical health in a very beneficial way.
The Spa at 21C is launching a year long Spa Subscription Service.

The Process
Complimentary Valet Parking
21C Spa makes sure that you are taken care from start to finish, beginning with parking. The day of your spa treatment you receive free valet parking. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I pulled up to the front door where I was greeted by a valet driver. They made sure I knew where the front desk was to check in and took my car for me.
Escorted To The Spa
After my car was valeted, I walked up to the front desk where I was immediately greeted and asked how I could be helped. I mentioned I was there for a Spa treatment and the wonderful lady walked me to the elevator and selected the appropriate floor for the Spa.
After exiting the elevator, I saw a gorgeous art display because it’s 21C, they have art work everywhere since they are a museum as well. 
Once I walked up a gorgeous flight of stairs, I was kindly greeted by the receptionist at the front desk of the Spa. She signed me in, answered any questions I had, and offered me a fresh glass of fruit infused water. I filled out a very short piece of paperwork and then waited for my service!
As I previously mentioned, your Cincinnati spa service is already preselected for you based off of what season it is. I love this because I’m trying new services I may not have otherwise tried and its one less decision you have to make. I had never done a body wrap before and may not have ever chose one, but it may have been my favorite service yet to date.
Fall Shine Body Mask and Wrap (September, October, November)
Moisturizing, Replenishing and Cooling (80 min)
Begin with a Body Scrub to exfoliate skin, then indulge with a hydrating body mask and wrap to help bring life back to dull skin. A scalp treatment using Argan Oil is performed while in wrap. After emerging from the wrap, you will be transformed by a luxurious steam shower. Lastly, your skin will be moisturized with our heavenly massage cream.
If you can’t tell by the description this service was a TREAT. It made perfect sense to do it in the fall as well. The weather is changing, and your skin is naturally starting to dry out.
If you’re like me, I treat my face pretty well. I moisturize it daily, sometimes I exfoliate it and put a facial mask on it, when was the last time your entire body got that kind of treatment? That’s what I thought haha.
I’m probably the worst at it because I get spray tans pretty often and to be completely honest with you, I’ve gotten lazy and sometimes I don’t even exfoliate in between. I know, it’s bad.
So what does this service really entail?
Step 1: Exfoliating Your Skin
You get completely undressed and lay on a massage table like you would any old massage. After I was undressed and laying on the massage table (covered up with a sheet fyi), Stacey started exfoliating my body with a sugar salt scrub. This felt like you can imagine it feeling. A little rough, but nothing painful.
The exfoliator is meant to remove any dead skin, and helps speed up your skin’s process and helps it to behave younger. Physical exfoliators work against the top layers of the skin to remove dead, dulling surface cells via rubbing and sloughing
Rinse Off In Shower
After this process was complete, I was advised to take a 5-7 min warm shower, where I just rinsed off the exfoliator. Let me just say, wow was my skin soft at this point! And it just kept getting softer and softer.
Step 2: Body Mask
So think about a face mask, a thick and nutrient filled mask for your body (but not the skin that drys out and starts to tighten on your face).
Starting with my back, and ending with my legs, my body was covered in this mask. After the mask was applied, I was wrapped in seran wrap like a burrito. In addition the seran wrap, I was also wrapped in a heated blanket type of thing. Then covered with a heavy blanket. Stacey said I may begin to sweat a little bit, but I didn’t actually get too hot.
It may not have sounded very comfortable, but I honestly could have laid like that the entire day. It was very comfy! I laid like this for about 10 minutes. The point of the heated blanket was to open up my pores and allow all of the moisture and nutrients from the mask to enter into my skin.
Rinse Off In Steam Shower
After Stacey unwrapped me, she turned on the shower again, but this time turned on the steamer as well. Before she left the room, she advised me to sit on the bench in the shower and just enjoy the steam room while still wearing the mask. Once I was finished with that, I rinsed it off just like last time. Their body wash smelled incredible as well.
Stacey told me I had about 10-15 minutes to do this before she came back, but who keeps track of time when they’re at the spa. And 21C thought of this as well! There was a timer in the shower so you could just relax without having to keep track of how much longer you had. I enjoy the little things like that. Stacey also put a cold water bottle in the shower so I could stay hydrated.
Step 3: Moisturize
After the second shower was complete, I felt so relaxed and refreshed. Who knew you would get to enjoy a steam shower while getting a body mask treatment.
So just like you may have guessed, the final layer is a moisturizing lotion and mini massage. This was a thicker moisturizer, but something you could also wear all day long. The best part about the lotion is that you received a mini massage at the same time.
Guess what? The service doesn’t just end there.
Each season you get a Spa package in the mail as well. For the fall subscription box, I received one of 21C’s luxury robes! After completing my body mask, I know just how great this robe feels.
Wrap Up (Literally)
I can’t say enough about this Cincinnati spa service. Just like I mentioned in the beginning of this post, not treating myself as much as I should. I felt like I betrayed my body after this treatment. Like I said I always take care of my face to prevent wrinkles etc, but I need to remember my body can get damaged and wrinkled just as much.
