Process
The process begins with exfoliation which is the removal of dead
skin from the body. The exfoliate agent depends on the spa’s
preference. The agent used is generally made up of natural
ingredients such as sea salt or sugar. The removing of the dead
skin cells is important step in the process. The body needs to be
prepared to receive the moisturizing treatment. Basically the
entire body is scrubbed in a light soothing manner.
The next part of the process is having the moisturizing treatment
applied. The ingredients of the treatment may vary but the results
are the same; nice soft skin. By wrapping the ingredients against
the client’s skin; the solution will become warm from body heat.
The warmth of the body will actually help the solution work in a
more efficient manner.
The final step is removal of the wrap and rinsing. Depending on the facility, a client may head to a shower to have the
detoxifying ingredients removed from the body or trained personnel may use a hand held shower. After the body is
thoroughly rinsed, another moisturizing lotion is applied. The entire process leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated which
gives the person a sense of renewal.
