What is a body scrub and what is it used for?
Body exfoliation is a treatment that removes dead cells from the skin's surface, helps improve texture, stimulates cell renewal, and restores radiance.
It is often used as preparation for other treatments, such as massages or hydration, to allow products to be better absorbed by the skin.
During the session, exfoliants with natural particles or active ingredients are applied, combined with movements that help deeply cleanse the skin.
The result is softer, more even, and revitalized skin.
