What is Body Polishing?

Body Polishing is a rejuvenating skin treatment that eliminates dead cells, dirt, and excess oil from the skin. It is done by massaging the scrub for exfoliation. It ends up with a cream massage. This results in a youthful glow all over the body with hydrated skin.

The products are made up of natural ingredients that provide intense cleansing and moisturizing properties. Generally, Himalayan salt, seaweed, sugar, or ground coffee, or any other grains are mixed with essential oils. It is like a facial for the whole body.
