Korean Body Scrubs An Essential Part Of the Far East Hygienic Process

The latest spa and relaxation fanatics are constantly looking for new experiences for the well-being of their bodies. An experience that is seldom overlooked is the full-body inclusive Korean style body scrub. Different than the western spa practices, this Korean tradition, full of soaking, scrubbing, cleaning, steaming, sauna, and massage, not only is a method in achieving ultra-cleanliness, but is accompanied with the same symbolic relaxation and blissful state.
A staple of the Korean bathhouse, a Korean body scrub is an integral part of keeping the skin refreshed and purified.
Already differing from the traditional sugar or salt scrubs of the west, Korean body scrubs start with soaking and exposing the skin to warm water and steam, so that the skin softens to allow for simple and quick exfoliation and heightens the positive effects of other Korean spa treatments.
The treatment is usually done in a wet-room with a shower-bed, accompanied with faucets and showerheads. The scrubbing is done with a special hand glove that will extensively clean the layers of dead skin and reveal glowing and healthy skin. Lactic acid incorporated milk and honey-based scrubs are often used to aid in the chemical aspect of the exfoliation as well as the physical part of the scrub itself.
No scrub is without full body coverage and clients should always walk away from a Korean body scrub with a healthy revelation of skin, truly head-to-toe.
A familiar sight of the scrub are gray colored bits of dead skin that shed away as the scrubbing continues. This is all the dirty and oil-covered parts of the dead skin that hides fresh and pure healthy skin and is often described as extremely surprising and very satisfying to see being shed from the body.
Often followed by an extensive massage, the Korean body scrub is a great way to deeply refresh the skin by ridding the body of old, dead skin and coming out with a healthy glow about the body, being moisturized, and having less stress and tension and a more positive vibe and aura.
