What is a Thai body scrub?
A Thai body scrub is a full-body exfoliation treatment. A natural scrub is massaged over the skin section by section to lift away dry, dull skin, you rinse off, and the session finishes with a moisturising oil massage. It is a 90-minute treatment, so there is time for the scrub to be thorough and for the massage at the end to be properly relaxing rather than rushed.
Step by step
- A short chat about your skin, any allergies and any sensitive areas.
- You undress to your comfort level and are covered with towels throughout.
- The scrub is applied with circular movements, one area at a time.
- You rinse off privately in the en-suite shower in the treatment room.
- A moisturising oil massage finishes the treatment. You can choose an oil from our oil menu at no extra cost.
Body scrub and massage: why combine them?
The scrub prepares the skin, and the massage afterwards helps the oil absorb into freshly exfoliated skin. You get two treatments in one visit: a pampering skin treatment and a relaxing massage. If you want a firmer massage, tell your therapist at the start.
