It seems that during the cold winter months, it’s universally acknowledged that our skin gets dry. I typically carry hand lotion with me wherever I may be, but during the winter months I’m wishing I had a Costco-sized bottle around at all times! We get a lot of people asking what types of treatments are going to soothe their dry, itchy skin during these cold (well, cold to us) months and we’ve got a pretty sweet solution.
Sugar or salt scrubs. Wait, what? Sugar or salt scrubs! A nice, gentle exfoliating sugar scrub will help you get soft and smooth again in roughly 60 to 90 minutes. I say 60 to 90 because those are the treatment length options we have, and I always push for the 90 minutes. Oh, before I get into that, maybe I should provide a bit more detail on exactly what a sugar or salt scrub is, here at Healing Hands.
We offer various scents, including mango, coconut, brown sugar and fig, peppermint, and more. The treatment itself is full body and won’t leave you sticky. If you so desire, you can choose to have just your legs, arms or back done, but I’m telling you, a full body scrub is where it’s at!
The treatment itself typically starts with your back and with the texture of the sweet sugar (or salty… salt) scrubbing along, it’s like the best back scratch you’ve ever had. You are basically getting an incredible scratch on all the spots you didn’t realize were itchy until that scrub hit ya! Removing the sugar or salt is also quite heavenly, a hot towel is gently placed on the area and the granules are wiped away, removing all the dry, dead skin the scrub helped you get rid of. After the removal of the scrub, you’ll get a nice, light massage with hydrating cream to bring your skin back to life. I swear, you won’t be let down once you feel how incredibly silky your skin is after the treatment is done.
We offer these all year, but the winter months seem to bring out the necessity of the treatment to men and women everywhere. Whether you are looking for a quick fix to winter skin or something you can do regularly to keep your skin super smooth and soft, sugar and salt scrubs are the way to go. As I said before, I always recommend going for a 90 minute treatment because not only do you get the scrub on all the parts you need, you also get some extra time to relax and really soak in how sweet the treatment really is. Get it? Soak in how SWEET it is?
Just to throw the idea out there, we also offer a coffee scrub which helps with stubborn cellulite – call for more information!
