You may think salt is only for seasoning your food. Or for de-icing the sidewalk. You probably didn’t think it was for massaging all over your body and into your skin. But there are some good reasons to...
Our bodies are made of salt water. Think about how salty you get when you sweat. A salt body scrub works with your body and skin's chemistry. It aligns with the pH balance of your body. You know how after you go to the beach and swim in the ocean you always feel so good. Sea salt does that for your body.
Sea salt exfoliates. Its coarseness gets rid of dead skin gently, removing dullness and making you look and feel younger. And your skin feels softer and moisturized. A salt scrub can help with ingrown hairs, and prep your body for moisturizing or shaving. If you wax or shave your legs or chest, exfoliate first to get a smooth, clean surface.
Massaging with coarse salt crystals increases the circulation in your skin, helping to detox it, and giving it a healthy glow. And it contains a lot of minerals and trace elements—such as calcium, magnesium and nutrients which are really good for your skin.
It's suspended in an essential oil base, so after it has been sponged off and showered, the oil protects the moisture in your skin. The scrub will remove the oil from your skin, and moisturize it, leaving it feeling soft afterward.
The first 40 minutes is the European Spa Massage. It is a full-body session using classic Swedish techniques. It contains aspects of both remedial and relaxation massage. Various pressures, from deep tissue to light touch are offered. "A variety of pressures" means the therapist uses the pressure required to alleviate knots and tension, or you may indicate a preference for "deep tissue or light touch." Hand-held hot stones and hot oil are standard with every session, and I can use targeted cupping for knots. ___________________________ Includes 40 min European Spa Massage, and 20 minutes Sea Salt Scrub Massage $80/hr, $130/90 minutes Text 403.467.4877 to book
