Body Treatments
Different Body Treatments And Their Benefits:
Body Scrubs:
Body scrubs are a good way to keep your skin smooth and healthy through exfoliation. The price of the body scrub is determined according to the ingredients that it has. High branded, medium branded and low branded scrubs are available. You can give yourself a body scrub at home or you can get a body scrub treatment at a spa. Body scrubs consist of exfoliant, oil and fragrance.
Exfoliant: It is an abrasive material like salt, jojoba beads, apricot kernels, coffee grounds, sugar, rice bran, etc. that rubs away the dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and gentle.
Oil: This holds the mixture together. More expensive scrubs have more expensive oils like kukui nut oil, macadamia oil and sweet almond oil.
Fragrance: Fragrance comes from the high-quality essential oils, it can be rosemary or spearmint.
Homemade Body Scrubs:
You can have a Body Scrub at home for a very cheap price. You can make your own salt scrubs at home and can exfoliate your skin at home.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup oil (Use sweet almond, grapeseed or another light-textured massage oil. Don’t use simple cooking oil from your pantry); 1 cup fine sea salt (Baleine is a good choice. Don’t use simple iodized table salt — it’s too harsh. If you have sensitive skin you can substitute sugar, which is gentler); 5 drops high quality essential oils (The essential oil you choose for your salt scrub depends on the result you want. Lavender is relaxing, lemon grass is refreshing and rosemary is stimulating.)
Preparation: Put the salt (or sugar) in a small bowl. Add the oil, mixing well with a spoon or wooden stick. The texture should be moist or thick enough to hold together, but not overly oily. You can adjust the amount of oil to get the correct texture needed. Gently put in the drops of essential oil and mix well. If you get more interested in aromatherapy you can make your recipe according to your own choice. Use once a week. This recipe should last you through three salt scrubs or more.
You can get a Body Scrub at the Spa which are more thorough and make your skin softer because the therapists work longer and can get into areas which you cant reach like the middle of your back. They also might have special equipment. Body scrub at the spa are usually accompanied with an application of a lotion and a short massage. Body scrubs are meant for the body it should not be used on the face as the skin on the face is thinner and more gentle.
