A back scrub is a specialized exfoliating treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize the skin on the back. This treatment helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and address issues such as acne and dryness, leaving the skin smooth, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Cleansing: The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove dirt, sweat, and impurities from the back. A gentle cleanser is typically used to ensure the skin is properly prepped for exfoliation.
Exfoliation: An exfoliating scrub, which can contain physical exfoliants like sugar, salt, or microbeads, or chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), is applied to slough off dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.
Extractions (Optional): If necessary, extractions may be performed to remove blackheads or clogged pores, especially for those prone to back acne.
Massage: A relaxing massage may be included to promote blood circulation and relaxation. It can also help in the absorption of moisturizing products.
Moisturizing: The final step involves applying a hydrating lotion or cream to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft and supple.
