Benefits of body scrub
The exfoliating process rids the skin of dead skin cells to allow your skin to breathe. Once sloughed off, the skin has a more youthful, glowing appearance. The application of moisturizing lotion afterwards, help seal in the moisture and hydrates the skin. The result is refreshed skin which feels soft silky and smooth.

Other body scrub benefits include:

• It nurtures the skin and increases circulation.
• It relaxes the body and mind
• Help relieve stress
• Help release toxins out of the body

What to expect from an exfoliating procedure?
A body scrub spa treatment might be offered as part of a spa package or stand-alone. Scrubs vary in how long they last and may be part of other spa treatments. Please inquire for more details.

If you have allergies or sensitive skin, make sure you mention this at time of booking your appointment or ask to speak to one of our therapists. Do not shave the day of your exfoliating scrub treatment.

Body scrubs are full body treatments which mean, we will apply the mixture all over your body, excluding the breasts and private areas. After the body scrub has been applied, the next step will vary, depending on the type of exfoliating spa treatment you are receiving. At the end of treatment, you will be rinsed off and a hydrating lotion will be applied to moisturize your skin.

After your body scrub, your skin will glow will feel soft and smooth. Drink plenty of water. As with any spa service, massage or bodywork treatment, scrubs release toxins in your system and need to be flushed out. Stay relaxed, try to avoid UV ray exposure (natural or otherwise) as the skin will be more susceptible. Refrain from caffeine and alcoholic beverages as these are dehydrating and will add toxins back into the system.

Body scrubs are wonderful and can be very relaxing. Because scrubs exfoliate the skin, we suggest that you do not receive more than one a week.

Note: If you have any issues with your skin, please ask if this treatment would be advised or not. In addition, ask our massage therapist if there is a spa treatment that would be best suited for your skin condition.

Always confirm with your doctor or dermatologist that the treatment you want is safe for you to receive if you have any health concerns. Every situation is different, so please tend to your own specific needs–and enjoy!
