How It Works: The Science Behind the Scrub

By removing dead surface skin, the abrasive scrub lifts away dry, flaky skin cells and unclogs the pores. The scrub acts as a deep-cleansing mechanism which accelerates the body’s natural shedding process byclearing oil and dirt to prevent body blemishes. Clients can immediately see the effect, but for those that want to understand exactly how it works here are the technical details! The scrub and the movements of the therapist break theinter cellular bonds of the skin as the tiny abrasive granules rub against the skin loosening the top layer of dead cells on the surface.The friction physically lifts away any rough, dry patches that regular soap frequently does not remove when you have a shower.Then further clearing the follicles asthe scrubbing motion dislodges trapped dirt, oil, and sebum from body pores.The result is a visible boost inradiance as the fresh skin underneath is revealed and thewhole body has a natural glow. In turn by removing the previous barrier of dead cells, moisturisers are able to penetrate and be more readily absorbed. The Manchester masseuses at this popular massage salon in Manchester finishoff the treatment with a massage using an enriching body lotion. This increases circulation and a healthyblood flow bringing fresh oxygen to the skin surface. By prompting the skin to shed old cells it speeds up natural cell turnover.
