Most women would agree that beauty is not just a matter of outer
looks but also inner beauty. This is what is usually referred to
as the holistic approach to looking at beauty. A lot of local or
imported cosmetic brands may help women look younger, but recently
there has been a growing trend of many women turning to traditional
treatments that use less chemical materials. Chemical materials
are often found to have longer-term destructive effects on the skin
rather than making one's face fresh.
Indonesia has been famous for its spices for hundreds of years,
originally for culinary purposes, but more recently for maintaining
health and beauty. These traditions are cultural heritages handed
down from one generation to the next. Natural ingredients such as
cloves, cinnamon, potent leaf, roots and many others are the main
material of Indonesian traditional cosmetics. Mustika Ratu and Sari
Ayu are two well-known brands that offer a plethora of traditional
herbal recipes.
Recently, a number of spas have sprung up also offering a wide
range of health and beauty treatments. A spa is a beauty and health
centre that uses water as the basic ingredient and source of energy,
offering rejuvenation of both body and soul. A spa can be pampering,
rejuvenating, nurturing, caring, and calming. It also can be so
relaxing, both physically and more importantly, spiritually. A spa
can help you improve fitness, detoxify, commune with nature, and
learn about nutrition. At a spa, you can regain your inner balance
and manage stress, enhance feelings of tranquility, well being and
heal.
There are approximately 200 spas scattered across Indonesia, the
second largest number of spas in any one country after the US. The
best-known Indonesian spa treatment is traditional massage or aromatherapy.
Indonesian massage usually uses traditional herbal cosmetics, for
example: luluran. The purpose of this kind of massage is to lighten
the skin and make it look much fresher.
Indonesian spa treatments normally offer also traditional drinks
made of herbs and roots, known locally as "jamu". Most
Indonesians believe that jamu is a powerful remedy to alleviate
light ailments such as fatigue, headaches, aching bones or chills.
