RUB-A-DUB-DUB! MASSAGES AND BODY SCRUBS!

Massages and body scrubs

To unwind from the daily stressors in our lives, the healing, rejuvenating power of a professional massage is well known. Massages are familiar, help reduce stress and anxiety, increase circulation, relax muscles, rehabilitate injuries, reduce pain and promote overall health and wellness.

Perhaps you’ve heard of a similar therapeutic procedure, the body scrub. What is a body scrub? They have been popular for a long time and go back to when the Romans used olive oils to soften skin and allow the skin to remain supple and youthful. Body scrubs are used primarily to remove dead skin cells that cover our body and block skin pores, making it more difficult for the body to purge toxins. This leads to dry, itchy, blotchy skin. Body scrubs help to give you the silky skin of a baby.

Whether your goal is to restore balance to your body with a professional body massage or nourish and replenish your skin with a body scrub, either way your skin, your health and your mood win! Better yet, why not relax and rejuvenate with both procedures? They will work wonders for your mental and physical health.

Did you know there are two types of massage therapies? A rehabilitative massage is a medical, therapeutic or clinical massage practiced in settings such as clinics, hospitals, and chiropractic offices. A relaxation massage is practiced in spas, wellness centers, and resorts.

Most professional body scrubs are administered with either salt or sugar. Salt scrubs contain magnesium that aids the body by calming the nerves and muscles. Salt is also a natural detoxifying agent that helps the skin retain nourishment and eliminate toxins. The sugar scrub melts more quickly into the skin when topically applied. Raw sugar has a natural enzyme alpha hydroxyl that gently removes dead skin cells and cleans and unclogs pores. These two scrubs consist of salt or sugar that has been mixed with essential oils such as olive, sunflower or coconut oil and are applied to the body and the face for 30 minutes before being rinsed off with warm water.
