Massages at House of Asante Spa
House of Asante Spa offers a range of massages to cater for every need.
A full-body massage includes massaging of the arms, legs, hands and feet, neck and back and stomach and buttocks.
It all depends on what you want to achieve. Most of the Asante Spa massages and packages describe what the massage entails and what it’s purpose is.
We suggest you discuss what you are trying to achieve with the massage when you book. Our well-trained staff will be able to suggest a massage if you are unsure.
Every message technique is aimed at reaching a specified goal:
- Massages for relaxation such as Swedish massages
- Deep tissue massages for stiff or painful muscles, repetitive strain or recovery from injury
- Trigger point massages for localised muscle “knots” due to tension
- Hot stone massages for easing muscle tension without deep pressure
- Prenatal massages which decrease swelling, aches and pains and emotional stress
- Sports massage for treating or preventing injury and natural performance enhancement
- Health and well-being massages such as Thai massage
At House of Asante you can expect our signature Welcome Ritual which will put you in the mood for being pampered.
Your therapist will explain the procedure if you are unsure or want to know more about the massage you will receive. You can feel relaxed about asking questions, as our staff are trained to provide the information you need to be fully relaxed about your experience.
It is important that you feel completely relaxed and informed, and you should have no reservations about communicating your expectations and experience of the procedures to your therapist. It is important that you inform the therapists about any medical conditions.
If it is your first massage, be prepared to be surprised at how relaxing it is and how well you will feel afterwards.

What you need to know about Facials
Facials at Asante Spa
A facial such as what House of Asante Spa provides, is a step-by-step skin treatment that results in cleansing, exfoliating and nourishing of your skin. A facial is one of the best ways to take care of your skin.
The frequency of facials depend on your skin type, but in general, skin care specialists recommend that you receive a facial every three to four weeks.
That allows for the skin to progress through its full life cycle of cell growth and exfoliation. Natural exfoliation or skin turnover takes longer the older you get. Natural exfoliation takes about two weeks in babies, four weeks in teens and up to 90 days after the age of 50.
Read on for factors that affect how often you should get a facial.
A facial deep cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin.
Any personal care by a professional is usually good. A facial cleanses the skin but also relaxes the face muscles, boosts collagen production, removes dead skin cells, clears spores, moisturise and hydrates the skin and improve the appearance of facial lines and blemishes.
Yes, the removal of black and white heads is part of a facial.
- Hydrate and Repair Facials
- Classic Facials
- Rejuvenating Facials

Skin type – normal, dry or oily. Normal or dry skin will need a facial every month, oily skin should receive at least a monthly facial and even more until the problem has cleared up. Sensitive skin may only need a facial every two months. House of Asante Spa uses natural products which make it applicable to the skin type and, rarely if ever, leads to skin sensitivity.
Skin condition – your House of Asante Spa skin care specialist will evaluate your skin and inform you if you have any skin conditions that demand special care or attention.
Skin care goals – in South Africa, the sun is an important influence on your skin and your skin care specialist will assist you with advice as to the best care for your skin.
Age – younger people usually need less frequent facials unless there are special circumstances such as acne and breakouts.
Budget – you need to invest in good products and effective treatments, but discuss your needs and budget with your Asante Spa skin care specialist.
Location – in urban or industrial environments, pollution may make your skin dirtier and you may need to be serious about your skin care schedule.
Over treatment – the skin can become overstimulated or sensitive with too many treatments in a short period. Your Asante Spa specialist will warn you if your skin appears over stimulated or sensitive.
If personal appearance and feeling good about yourself is important, a well-designed facial schedule is a necessity for an effective beauty routine.
