1. Accelerate Cell Turnover Just as a good facial can help rid the skin of old, dead skin cells, so too will a good body scrub. Sometimes our skin does a poor job of shedding dead skin cells, which can result in acne, ingrown hairs, rough patches, and other not-so-smooth skin issues. A good, thorough scrub will leave you with silky skin that tans more easily and evenly, as well as a gorgeous glow.
2. Stimulate Collagen Production By scrubbing the skin and encouraging dead skin cells to shed, new skin cells are inadvertently brought to the surface. During this process, the turnover rate of all cells is increased, including collagen and elastin. In other words, getting a good scrub regularly can help boost collagen and elastin production which creates a more youthful-looking skin texture. Who doesn’t want a younger-looking body?
3. Boost Circulation and Encourage Lymphatic Drainage During the treatment, your therapist will use a mixture of long strokes and short, circular motions to hit pressure points while working the product on your skin. The combination of pressure and strokes has the same benefits that a light massage has. It will help improve blood circulation and encourage your lymph fluid to move from stagnant areas.
4. Reach Neglected Areas You can expect a thorough scrubbing when you have it done professionally. In between toes? Check. Thigh fold? Check. Basically, every nook and cranny including those that have been neglected or forgotten about will be thoroughly scrubbed and left baby soft. What can I expect during a body scrub? During a spa scrub, you will be led into a treatment room, asked to change, and lie down on an individual treatment slab. Your body will be massaged with a lightly abrasive product. The scrub is usually made of natural ingredients such as clay, sugar, coffee, salt, or nutshell husks.
