A scrub or body polish is a spa treatment which exfoliates the skin on your body leaving it feeling fresh, smooth, moisturised and soft. An abrasive product is rubbed vigorously, and massaged across and into your skin, and is then rinsed away to reveal a moisturised layer of fresh, clean and smooth skin.
There are many benefits to a body scrub or polish. A body scrub will exfoliate your skin, sloughing off dead skin cells and rubbing away hard and flaky skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Scrub or polishing products usually include an oily base which moisturises and soothes your skin as it is scrubbed.
A scrub can be really invigorating as well, and improve the circulation of blood and lymph to the surface of the skin, helping to fight cellulite and improve your skin tone.
There’s nothing to do before you go except have a shower. This is really just courtesy for your therapist!
Although scrubs and body polishes are suitable and safe for just about everyone. It’s not an invasive treatment, and doesn’t involve you assuming any odd positions.
You should not have a scrub if you have cancer or if you have a fever. You should also seek expert advice at Joz Salon and Spa if you are allergic to anything or have a skin condition of any kind.
Anyone with fragile, broken or sunburnt skin is well advised to skip this treatment as well, as a very vigorous scrub may hurt more than heal, however this is really something that a good therapist will take into account. Some conditions make some products, and some kinds of scrub a bad idea for you.
Before the treatment begins, the therapist may ask you what kind of product you prefer, giving you a choice of smells or asking whether you want to feel relaxed or revitalised by the body scrub. They should also tell you something about the product and procedure so that you know what’s going to happen.The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.
A body scrub is a great treatment as it makes you look and feel good. After a good body scrub, you should feel pampered and energised. It’s a great one-stop treatment.
