Escape the office for a pampering spa treatment over lunch and you’ll be amazed at how restored and refreshed you’ll feel when you return. Whether it’s a manicure or massage, review the following beauty procedures that are perfect for working professionals:

• Faux glow. Experience the rejuvenating effects of a tropical getaway – without sacrificing a single vacation day. Trot down to the local salon for a safe, sunless spray tan. With an appointment, you can be in and out in 30 minutes or less.

• Manicure. Not only is a manicure a great way to relax in the middle of the day, but clean, well-maintained nails are the perfect way to finish off a professional appearance. When scheduling your nail treatment, skip the spa manicure as these include extras like aromatherapy, hot towel wrap, stone massage and paraffin dip, which you won’t have time for during the lunch hour. Instead, opt for a basic or express manicure. Your nails will still get the attention they need, in just half an hour.

• Pedicure. Even though it’s unlikely that flip-flops are allowed in your office dress code, there are fewer more luxurious feelings than knowing you’re rocking a gorgeous pedi beneath your pumps. Like the manicure, pick a basic or express pedicure to ensure that you’re done in less than an hour.

• Massage. Looking for a treatment that can restore your mind, body and spirit? A massage is the ideal escape in the middle of the workday. Depending on the length of your lunch, you can schedule a 30 or 60 minute appointment. And there are a variety of techniques to try, including Swedish, sports and deep tissue massage.

• Facial. Facials include a variety of treatments that cleanse, restore and purify the face, targeting skin issues like acne and aging. From oxygen masks to enzyme peels, there are many choices when it comes to facial treatments, so it’s important to choose one that meets the unique needs of your skin. Although many salons and spas offer special lunchtime facials that take less than an hour, be mindful that some treatments can leave your skin red for a short period of time afterwards. If this is an issue, ask your esthetician for one that won’t be obvious and save the intense treatments for right after work. Go here to learn all about the many types of facials.

• Wax. A midday office escape to the spa can also be an excuse to do some much-needed maintenance. If you have time to spare before or after another lunchtime treatment, sneak in a quick eyebrow or upper lip wax, which will only take 10-15 minutes at most. If you have time for a slightly longer wax, you can have your lower legs or bikini area treated in well less than an hour.

• Blow-out. Have a hot date or office party after work? Make an impression with a stunning blow-out. Achieve this look at the salon over lunch, and enjoy your gorgeous locks for the rest of the afternoon and well beyond.

• Teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening or bleaching is the most effective way to achieve a million dollar smile – a great asset in almost any workplace. There are a variety of treatments that involve the direct application of bleach to the teeth in combination with heat, light or a laser. Unlike more inexpensive at-home alternatives, you can see dramatic results after one 30 to 60-minute session, although several appointments may be necessary for optimal whitening and maintenance. Check with your dentist to get the details.

While a bit of lunchtime pampering can do wonders for your work performance by reducing stress and enhancing your sense of well-being, many procedures also help improve your overall health and appearance. Whether it’s a classic manicure or bright white smile, it’s time you made an appointment to experience how an office escape to the spa can transform your workday.
