Protocols
Exfoliation is an essential and simplistic skin care treatment. With regular
treatments, your skin becomes more evenly toned and silky smooth. Natural
exfoliation products are gentle yet effective. Follow a scrub with an
all-natural body butter, and you will feel like you just had a spa treatment.

best anti-aging choice for
regular home skin care.

and will gently treat your
skin to the nutrition it
craves. Please enjoy your
soft skin.
Body Scrubs
The practice of skin exfoliation is not new, however, the desire to maintain a
healthy and youthful glow is more popular than ever. The best spas offer
treatments with products that are made from pure and natural botanicals. These
botanical treatments are not mixed until clients arrive. This is how beneficial
fresh and natural products are for the skin. Fresh and natural products do not
need the addition of fragrances, fillers, or preservatives.

Body scrub products should be very carefully chosen due to the nature of the
treatment of exfoliation. Exfoliation scrubs away dead skin cells to allow the
newer cells to reside on the surface of the skin. It is important to not feed
artificial or synthetic products into the skin as the new layer of skin can become
saturated with toxic ingredients such as preservatives, fillers, and or fragrance.
Body Moisture
When choosing a body moisturizer, keep in mind that you are applying
product to the entire surface area of your body. This means that whatever you
are using is being absorbed into your entire system.  The moisturizer you
choose should be, at the very least, paraben-free.

that lotions usually also contain water, which is not a moisturizer. Body
butters that are not whipped body butters contain the whole constituents of
the oils used, typically do not contain toxic additives, and tend to diminish

Product Choices
There are many products on the market that are designed for specific purposes
such as reducing cellulite. While these products may or may not work, the best
defense against cellulite is increased circulation.

When using natural body scrubs, circulation is increased by both the natural
properties in the scrubs and by the action of application.

A hard body butter also helps to increase circulation as it takes a more
vigorous rubbing action to apply the butter. Ease of use is not a determinant in
the effectiveness of the product. Just because a body lotion absorbs quickly
into the skin, this does not mean it is an effective product.

smooth and youthful skin. Following your daily cleansing and weekly scrubs
