Body scrub is like a facial to the body. It hydrates your skin also leaving it smooth and soft. Body scrub is usually done with sea salt. Also we can use sugar mixed with some of the massage oils. After the scrub it should be followed by an application like high quality lotion or cream that leaves your skin hydrated. Body scrub is not a massage and it should be performed by people with license to work on skin.
During Body Scrub
During body scrub we should wear a disposable undergarment. Your face is down on a massage table that is covered with a towel. The therapist will start by gently rubbing on your back, the backs of your arms, and the backs of your legs and feet. Once it is done with you back then you turn over and he/she does the other side.
When it is done then you usually step into a shower to rinse off. Make sure you are rinse it thoroughly and do not use shower gel. It’s good to keep the oil on your skin. Once you return from shower then therapist will applies body lotion or oil.
Note:
- We can go for a body scrub along with massage. Go for the body scrub first because it is stimulating, whereas the massage calms you down.
- Some therapists hands are not soft because of that you may have some minor injuries on your body, so try to avoid them or ask for other therapist.
