Body scrub
Also known as: exfoliating body treatment
A body scrub is a spa treatment that exfoliates the skin of the body with a gritty product, followed by rinsing and moisturising.
What it is
Ingredients such as salt, sugar or ground coffee are massaged over the skin to remove dead cells, then washed off and followed by lotion or oil. Many spas pair it with a massage.
What to expect
Sessions often last 30 to 60 minutes. Skin feels smoother afterwards. Avoid scrubs on broken or sunburned skin.
What to ask before booking
Ask what the scrub contains, especially if you have allergies or sensitive skin, and whether it is included in a package.
