Body scrub

Has anyone had a salt body scrub at a freelancers home studio? How does that usually work?

 

I haven’t had one at a spa either but a local provider offers them at his home and I was intrigued.

This is for a provider in SF/Bay area not NYC.

 

My question really isn’t about the provider it’s more about the treatment.

It's fantastic - salt/sugar scrub starting on feet, up legs, back, to neck and arms.

 

Of course, that then required both masseur and I to shower to clean off.

Then back to table to do front of body.

 

Pure heaven!

I concur. A shower or sponge bath to wash all the gunk off is the norm.

 

As for therapeutic benefits there aren’t really any. I see a dermo every three months for my light psoriasis and she says the salt and sugar scrubs are a gimmick. If you really want to peel away dead skin, or skin reguvination therapy as the dermos call it, it takes a combination of weak acids that you need to get done at a cosmetic dermatologist. She said that any skin abrasion technique should be avoided for people like me since tears to the skin can trigger psoriasis lesions.

I actually found his response very informative.
