Spiced Cider Back Scrub
Exfoliating is one of the most underrated things you can do for your skin. It allows skin to breathe by removing dead skin cells that can build up over time, causing skin to itch, look splotchy and/or dull, and trap toxins in the body. Since your body uses your skin as a way of excreting toxins and waste through your pores, dead skin buildup causes this process to become inefficient and may cause other problems, such as acne. By exfoliating, you're effectively removing that layer of dead skin that's blocking your pores, which allows skin to breathe, work efficiently, and can even make you look "glowy." If you have tattoos, exfoliating can also bring them "back to life" by making colors more vibrant once dead skin cells are removed, revealing a fresh layer of skin underneath.
The exfoliating body butter we use in session does a double duty: it exfoliates and moisturizes your skin. We use Himalayan Pink Salt ground down to a fine powder to exfoliate your skin while Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Vitamin E work together to moisturize and create a protective barrier on the skin, trapping moisture in while keeping everything else out. The Himalayan Pink Salt also provides essential nutrients and minerals that your body needs but may not get in your average diet; calcium, magnesium and potassium are just a few.
We also use a Spiced Cider scent to help invigorate the body and provide warmth and comfort while in session. Since this scent contains cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, it creates a very comforting environment that matches so perfectly with the season!

How is it used in session?
During your session, your therapist will apply the exfoliating body butter to your back using slow, smooth strokes. Your entire back up to your shoulders and neck will receive the exfoliating treatment. Once your back has been thoroughly exfoliated, your therapist will take off the remaining salt crystals left over using a warm, damp towel, and your session will continue as normal.FAQs
Q: Does this treatment hurt or feel uncomfortable?
A: The Himalayan Pink Salt is ground down so fine that it should not hurt or feel too abrasive. If you feel like the pressure may be too much or would prefer slower strokes, just let your therapist know. This may help with most feelings of discomfort.
Q: Why use Himalayan Pink Salt instead of something else, like sugar?
A: Himalayan Pink Salt is more beneficial for your body than sugar.
Q: What is a body butter?
A: A body butter is a type of cream or lotion that is a thicker consistency and uses cocoa butter or shea butter. Since body butter tends to be much richer than lotion, it moisturizes better and doesn't feel as greasy.
Q: Why use Vitamin E?
A: Vitamin E is essential for your body to reduce redness, scarring and give your skin some protection. It also helps with conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Q: Why exfoliate?
A: Exfoliating is a great way to revitalize the skin and allow its toxin-excreting process to work more efficiently. If you suffer from acne, itchy skin, or a dull complexion, usually exfoliating is one of the best and easiest ways to improve the look and feel of your skin.
