Enjoy a stress-decreasing body scrub treatment on Koh Samui

Exotic and laid-back Koh Samui is not only one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand but it also has become the main location in the country, where to find the best and most varied selection of quality, soothing, revitalising and relaxing spa and massage treatments. One of the most popular treatments is the so called body scrub.

Body scrub! Well it sounds good, doesn’t it? Probably there are still many people who don’t know exactly what a body scrub is. The healing goal of the treatment is to rejuvenate the skin by moisturising and cleaning it from dead cells. The specific mixture of essential oils, used by the masseur or therapist during the treatment, has cleansing, hydrating and exfoliating qualities. The basic ingredients usually include: Epson and Dead Sea salt, baking soda, sugar, milk, honey, milk, as well as several essential and massage oils.

This special liquid (the scrub) is used on the patient’s to boost the body’s cleansing activities and stimulate the metabolic system. In addition, using the scrub will also result in the look of a more vibrant, healthy and soft skin.

Persons suffering from serious high blood pressure are strongly advised not to try the body scrub treatment. Obviously the salt containing mixture would be responsible for decreasing blood pressure levels! Also diabetics should not receive a scrub as the sugar and honey in the mixture would increase the blood sugar level. However, if you inform the spa about these health issues, than they usually are able to create a body scrub, which will not have any negative effects on your health. It is also recommended not to shave certain areas of your body. When the mixture will be applied to shaven body spots than the patient usually experiences a stinging sensation.

Several wellness centres prefer the use of a wet room to perform to treatment, while the scrubbing at many other spas takes place in a general massage room. The kind of used facilities depend on the massage or spa therapists’ preferences.

In order to receive a body scrub you should take off all of your clothes. However, no need for uncomfortable and embarrassed feelings! Your intimate body parts will be covered by provided and dedicated clothing or sheets and towels will do the protecting job for you. When the treatment is finished, you will be directed to a shower facility. Most likely the therapist advises you not to use soap while showering as this will remove the scrub’s oil residue, which is essential for the treatment’s effect. After the shower you’ll receive the moisturising cream skin treatment.

The majority of the holidaymakers on Samui, who received a treatment, all noticed the skin’s improved condition. Avoid swimming and too much direct sunlight to preserve your skin’s shiny look for a while! Off course the spa facility’s staff can give you more information on the treatment’s after effects. The available wellness and spa facilities on Koh Samui offer many different types of body scrubs. You should perhaps try a few and decide for yourself which one you liked best!
