Whether you are a beach lover or the sit on the porch with your feet in the kiddie pool type, it’s time to get your skin ready for the sun.
That means it’s time for body wraps, massages and exfoliation treatments. Let’s face it, you don’t want to be the one talked about as you stroll down the sandy beach with your skin looking rough. It’s bad enough that you don’t really like the outfit you settled for. So the least you can do is have sultry, silky, soft looking skin. Let’s take a look at some body treatments that will help you enhance the skin you’re in.
Body wraps have a way of reminding us of a mummy. Your entire body is put into a series of towels, cello or strips that inhibit movement for the duration of your treatment.
Body wraps are designed to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. Depending on the type of body wrap you get, they can help rid your body of excess fluids and toxins, boost your lymphatic system or contour to help with weight loss.
You can give yourself a body wrap at home or you can treat yourself with a spa visit and choose from their menu of services.
Exfoliation treatments help remove dead skin cells from your body. Typically sea salts and/or sugar is mixed together with a carrier oil and massaged into your skin. This helps to soften dead skin cells and sloth them off your skin.
Body scrubs are like facials for your body. In addition to removing dead skin cells, they help hydrate your skin while leaving it smooth and soft at the same time.
Body scrubs or exfoliation treatments can be done once a week. They’ll help keep your skin from looking dull, gray and ashy.
The main purpose of a massage is to relax the tissues in your body, increase blood circulation and oxygen and help decrease pain. Blood circulation is extremely important for great looking skin. When you chi or energy flow is stagnant, that means your circulation of your blood and oxygen in your body is stagnant.
Not only do you feel tired all the time, you don’t look healthy. A full body massage can often aid with circulation issues and certainly enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being.
One of the newer trends in massage therapy has been to provide massages on the beach. The tranquil waters of the ocean provide a calmness for your treatment. The more relaxed you are, the better looking your skin will be.
Find a way to radiate the beauty of your beautiful black skin. Whether you’re beach bound or sitting on the porch with your feet in the kiddie pool, It’s time to enjoy the warmth of the sun.
That’s it for this week. As always …
