Laura Skin Care

Everyone knows about facials, but not everyone knows about body treatments (and they’re basically the same thing!). A body treatment will leave your skin soft, smooth, cleaned, and relaxed. The process often includes exfoliation and hydration, making it a great treatment for dryer times of year (like winter), but there are many supplementary services that are often packaged in a body treatment.

Body Treatment Services

Body treatments can help decrease cellulite, slow aging, and prevent wrinkles while leaving your skin looking young, fresh, and radiant. But, treating your whole body, the benefits don’t stop at your skin; you’ll also benefit mentally by relaxing your body, soothing muscles, and reducing stress.

Since body treatment rarely involves one service, there are many types of body treatment packages, though many of these packages consist of overlapping services. Here are a few services commonly associated with body treatments:

• Body Scrub – this is a massage and exfoliation treatment mixed into one. The therapist will rub a mixture of sea salt, oil, and aromatics into your skin.
• Body Mask – a mask of seaweed, mud, or algae will be applied to your body to stimulate your metabolic system, detoxifying your body of excess toxins.
• Body Wrap – you’re wrapped up in a blanket, towels, or sheets and a mixture is applied to your skin to help detox, hydrate, or slim; this can be great for cellulite.
• Massage – sometimes full-body, other times focused on a single area to promote the intended benefits of the body treatment, massages are a tried-and-true body treatment.

You should be careful after any deep body scrubs which will leave your body feeling tender. While many treatments can leave dead skin and lotion on you, a quick shower with a washcloth can help you clean off any unwanted leftovers.

Treat Yourself!

It’s hard to over-service your body, because you can’t be too healthy! So, don’t feel bad about visiting your local Petaluma, CA esthetician to discuss possible body treatments! Even if you go every month, your body and mind will continuously thank you for helping them feel as amazing as they can (and should).

A skin care professional can help guide you towards the best possible treatment after discussing any goals that you may have in mind for your skin. And, once you’ve finished you scheduled treatments, head back to discuss what you can do next; after all, you can’t be too healthy!
