Choose the Korean body scrub to exfoliate your entire body and make your skin look younger and healthier. Then, enjoy a relaxing moisturizing treatment with milk, honey, and natural oils. If you’re trying to get rid of some weight, get a body wrap with mud, seaweed, and red clay to increase your metabolism. The Renewal Facial uses a multilayered, detoxifying organic mask to help damaged skin or blemishes heal. There’s also a deep cleansing organic facial with fruits and spices.

After you’re finished with the spa treatment you choose, then you can take a shower and use a grooming area that comes with complimentary toothbrushes and toothpaste. Several packages are available for men and women, and Palace Spa is open every day from 9 a.m. to midnight.

Even if you have less than an hour of free time, you can relax and forget about everyday life for a while by visiting a day spa. Burien and the surrounding area offer plenty of options, whether you want to enhance your appearance, bond with a spouse, or improve your health by reducing your stress.
