One of my least favourite things in a spa is a therapist with bad breath! Recently I had a very good facial which was completely ruined by the stale, end-of-day breath of the very sweet therapist. The products she was using were lightly and beautifully fragranced but every so often this would be obliterated in a blast of her exhaling. On a scale of irritation it was right up there with someone snoring. So you lie there and try to think kind thoughts and not let it interfere with your treatment or you consider leaping up and exclaiming you have forgotten an appointment and must curtail the session. Then again you wonder why it is so hard to tell someone what she is clearly unaware of – but do you want to be the person to do it? I think all beauty therapists and spa managers have an obligation to keep a bottle of mouthwash handy and ensure it gets well swigged before any close encounters.
