DIFFERENT TYPES OF BODY SCRUB
There are many variations of body scrub, but the
main difference is usually on the products used.
Salt and oil: finely granulated salt is mixed
with essential, moisturizing oil. The salt
might be sea salt or mineral salt.
Sugar is also used, mixed with oils or creams.
Loofah: some body scrubs use cream and a loofah
to slough off dead skin cells
Herbal: A therapist may mix herbal oil with
exfoliating scrub, such as rosemary, lavender or
aloe vera, depending on your skin type and whether
the scrub is designed to wake you up or relax you.
Fruit (edible): some body scrubs mix crushed
seeds with fruit oils, oatmeal and other edible
products to nourish and soothe the skin.
It is important that both operator and patron have a
harmonious relationship with each other. The
operator must ensure that the client gets the first
impression right.
