Spa Treatments: What’s so Great about Body Scrubs?

“Receive a salt glow treatment and start looking and feeling great today,” declares the advertisement. “Enjoy silky soft skin from our body scrub,” states another. So what is special about these spa treatments? Depending upon what you are trying to achieve - everything.
What is a Body Scrub?
A body scrub entails using a granular substance mixed with a specific liquid with essential oils which will cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate by removing dead skin cells and moisturizing the skin.
The primary base of the body scrub is usually Dead Sea salt, Epson salt, sugar, or baking soda generally mixed with massage oil, essential oils, honey, milk or milk-like product. Some spas or massage therapists will call their version of a body scrub a “salt glow” since the primary base of the scrub is a type of granular salt or combination of salts.
If you have never had a professional therapeutic massage before, you could be intimidated by what you do not know or you may not be aware that the successful outcome of your massage session depends largely upon - not only your massage therapist - but also on how you prepare and receive the massage.
What’s even better than girls’ night out? Girls’ night in! And what better way to spend a night in than with a home spa party? Home spa parties are also a luxurious, creative alternative to traditional bridal or baby showers.
