Restore and Refresh with a Thai Body Scrub Massage

Health Land Spa offers body scrub treatments with spa and massage packages. We combine traditional Thai wellness practices, natural and premium ingredients, and modern spa techniques to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, improve circulation, and nourish and moisturize the skin. This rejuvenating treatment helps restore the skin’s natural softness and leaves you feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Why Get a Body Scrub Massage?

A body scrub massage is a full-body exfoliation treatment in which a therapist uses a textured blend, typically made with salt, sugar, herbs, and oils, to gently massage the skin in circular motions. The purpose of a body scrub is to cleanse and smooth the skin’s surface, remove dead skin and clogged pores, stimulate blood flow and lymphatic movement, and prepare the skin to better absorb moisturizers and oils.

After the exfoliation, the scrub is gently wiped off or rinsed, and lotion or oil may be applied to lock in moisture. This leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft, and refreshed. And when combined with massage techniques, this treatment also helps to relax the muscles and calm the mind.

Who Can Benefit from a Thai Body Scrub?

A body scrub is suitable for nearly everyone, including those with dry, dull, or flaky skin and those seeking a full-body treatment to de-stress and relax. The treatment is particularly beneficial for those in tropical climates like Thailand, where dust, humidity, and sweat can take a toll on the skin. This treatment is worth incorporating into your regular spa care and wellness routine.

Who Should Avoid a Body Scrub Spa Treatment?

While body scrub spa treatments are generally safe and beneficial, there are a few cases when it may be best to postpone or speak with a therapist beforehand. These include open wounds, skin infections, severe sunburn, or skin irritation, which could worsen with scrubbing. It may be best to wait until the skin has healed. This is the same if you have undergone recent shaving, waxing, or laser treatments, as the skin may be too sensitive for exfoliation. 

Before getting a body scrub, we recommend consulting with your doctor for skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea. Also, inform your therapist of allergies to certain ingredients to ensure the products used are safe.

What to Expect from a Body Scrub Spa Session

A Thai body scrub session typically begins with a short consultation to understand your skin needs and preferences. You’ll be led into a private treatment room. Lie down comfortably while your therapist gently exfoliates your body in sections using a scrub mixture. After the exfoliation, your therapist will use warm towels to remove the scrub and apply moisturizer to your skin. If it’s part of your package, your therapist will then administer a full-body massage for the ultimate relaxation.
