Body Polish, Massage & Hot Stone Therapy

Body Polish

 

A body polish will exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells and away hard and flaky skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.  A rich hydrating cream is then applied to the body making the skin feel re-hydrated and silky smooth.

A body polish can be really invigorating and will improve the circulation of blood and lymph to the surface of the skin, helping to fight cellulite and improve your skin tone.

 

A good body scrub or polish forms the basis of other body treatments:

 

• it prepares your skin for an even tan
• it opens the pores and wakens the skin before a wrap or mud treatment
• the oils used can relax or stimulate your senses ready for any similarly-focused treatment that you might be having afterwards

 

Allow 45 minutes for a body polish

Hot Stone Therapy (Massage)

 

Hot Stone Massage is a truly relaxing treatment using hot stones of varying sizes on parts of the body (from the forehead to between the toes) giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth and comfort.

 

The heat from the stones feels great and is also therapeutic – helping to detox the body and relax the nervous system. The stones used are smooth, volcanic basalt that retain their heat on the body for as long as possible.

 

The benefits of hot stone massage include:

• Deep relaxation, the warmth relaxes both physically and mentally
• The heat from the stones is transferred to the body by conduction and it may reach up to 3cm into the muscle
• Stress is reduced, relieving mental and physical fatigue
• Circulation is improved and muscles have an increased blood supply, improving function
• Toxins and waste are eliminated more quickly
• The warmth can relieve pain in muscles and joints
• Tension in connective tissue is decreased
• There is a deep comfort of receiving warmth on the body
