What with valentines just round the corner, a girl's got to be ready with a glowing skin and what not. And it's not just the face, a bit of sloughing and smoothing is a must for the body too especially, when the plan is to wear a nice dress with plunging back and neckline.

With this plan in my mind, I sought out the body treatments at BodyScape Spa. I was looking some scrubbing and polishing to take off the layer of dead skin that seemed to have built up dulling my skin during the cooler months. The executive at the spa recommended I try the body polishing treatment that will not only exfoliate the top layer of dead skin but will also tone my skin with a firming, hydrating pack.

So off I went with the therapist, who put me in a sauna to open my pores, steam out the toxins, and loosen the dead skin cells. After that, in the therapy room she started by applying a scrub made of crushed almond on my body - section by section. After massaging the scrub into my skin, she took a loofah and exfoliated my body, and limbs using string circular motion -
meant to not just take off the dead skin cells, but also improve blood circulation.

Post wiping off the scrub, she applied pack of mineral clay and cucumber - tone my skin and lighten dark patches - on my whole body excluding face. After about 15 minutes, I showered off the pack, and came out gleaming, an smooth. To retain the softness of the skin, the therapist massaged in a light moisturising lotion all over the body. As I dressed to go out, I felt
it a pity that I had to hide my lovely, super soft skin.

Why we recommend: This treatment removes the dead skin cells from the outer most surface and makes the skin look and feel softer and brighter. Using a body scrub exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling, softer and smoother and generally healthier looking but it also helps fight cellulite and improve skin tone because the body scrub improves the circulation of blood and
lymphatic drainage. The following body pack was an excellent way to detoxify and add minerals to your body, leaving you re-energized and rejuvenated.
