Payday is almost upon us and that means it's nearly time to treat yourself once again.
When your bank account is back in a more healthy condition, you know it's time to start visiting the latest restaurants, attending the best events and generally just making the most of your life, so we'd like to suggest that you also get yourself a nice little beauty treatment as an extra indulgence.
Now let's look at a few ways you can pamper yourself in Dublin — because if you don't treat yourself, who will?
Make your recurring dream of being covered in chocolate a reality at last!

But be warned: you may find yourself with a serious craving for chocolate afterwards.
Price: €35 for 35 minutes

Here's a favourite form of therapy among professional athletes and Hollywood stars.
This whole-body treatment exposes the body to sub-zero temperatures for short periods of time in order to improve performance and accelerate recovery as well as for its anti-aging and weight loss benefits.

This procedure is all about reducing the appearance of cellulite and attacking fat cells.
During this treatment you'll be wrapped in a solution which breaks down fat cells, resulting in a reduction of unwanted fat from the body's problem areas.

Price: €80 for 75 minutes
It's time you stopped saying "ewww" when you think about seaweed and started saying "oooh".
The seaweed bath at Kerala Massage goes a long way to rehabilitating the public image of the rubbery vegetation, as it's the main ingredient in a ridiculously relaxing treatment.
First you start off spending about five minutes in a steam cabinet to open your pores before dipping in a warm bath full of soft seaweed for about 45 minutes, which will detoxify and cleanse your skin. When you're finished in the bath, you're invited to rehydrate, read a book or even take a little nap in the Relax room before going on your merry way.
How sweet does that sound?
Price: €35
