Polish Your Body

Body polish or a body scrub helps rejuvenate the skin in practically no time. A good body polish therapy should leave you feeling refreshed and glowing almost immediately. There are many benefits to a body scrub or polish.

• A scrub sloughs off the top layer of your skin, which can dull the skin tone, revealing the newer lower skin, which is smoother, more supple and better moisturised with a natural oil balance.
• Since the base of a body polish is oil or cream, it moisturises the skin and soothes dry skin as it gets scrubbed.
• A natural or herbal body polish or scrub generally made of an abrasive substance like sea salt, sugar, rice powder, oatmeal, broken walnut or almond, or even fruit pulp mixed with base oil, herbs and aromatic oils.
• A cosmetic body polish or micro dermabrasion treatment, the particles are generally crushed pearls or diamond dust that are grazed against the skin through a high-pressure nozzle to scrub off dead skin layer.
• Since scrubbing reveals the lower layer of skin which is more adapted to absorbing nutrients from creams and potions, so body polishing often forms the basis of a holistic treatment at a spa.
• Body scrubbing prepares the skin for soothing massage, evens out tan, and opens pores to accept nutrients given to the skin through body wraps.
• Body scrubs are the safest of spa treatments to go for. It’s non invasive and is suitable for just about everyone.
• Avoid a scrub if you have fever or are allergic to herbs. 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.

In case your skin burns after a scrub session request the therapist to bathe the area with chilled milk and apply moisturising lotion for instant relief.
