Salt & Sugar Scrubs
There are two types of scrubs
Salt Scrub/Glow: smoothes and purifies the body using the healing benefits from the sea. Stimulates circulation and increase lymph flow with an exfoliation, that will leave you with glowing skin.
Sugar Scrub/Glow: exfoliation with emollient and humectants moisturizing properties that will leave your skin baby soft, while increasing circulation to lymph flow.
A salt glow (also known as a salt scrub or sea salt scrub) is the most popular body treatment at the spa. The primary purpose of a salt glow is to exfoliate your skin.
A salt glow also hydrates your skin because the salt is combined with oil and usually some aromatic like lemon, lavender, or even figs. The salt glow is followed by a shower and an application of body lotion, and leaves your skin feeling very soft and fragrant.
What Happens During a Salt Glow?
As you lay on your stomach, the therapist rubs a mixture of sea salt, oil, and aromatics like lemon or lavender into your skin. Then you turn over and she does the other side. You are draped with a towel, and only the part she is working on is exposed. When she's finished, you'll step into a shower to rinse off all the salt. Don't use shower gel - it's good to keep the oil and aromatics on your skin.
You can get a salt glow on its own, but often it's the first step in a body wrap, often a seaweed or mud wrap. That's because exfoliation prepares the skin for products like seaweed or algae that detoxify the body by stimulating circulation through vasodilation of blood capillaries.
You can also combine a salt glow with a massage. We recommend getting the salt glow first because it is stimulating, whereas the massage calms you down. Ask one of our front desk staff about our packages that include salt glow, body wraps and massage.
