Arctic Self-Care for Canadians, Male Therapist, Bridgeland SE, $90/hr
The 90 minute self-care package includes 60 minutes of a full-body European Spa Massage. It is a deep relaxation massage with some remedial techniques to loosen knots and tight muscles.
You decide on the pressure: deep tissue, medium or light pressure.
By bringing your body into a deep state of relaxation, your body’s pain-reducing chemicals are stimulated, leaving you feeling slightly euphoric, without the side-effects of prescription drugs. And the production of the stress-hormone Cortisol decreases. Your body heals, finds balance, and immunity improves.
Included with the European Spa massage at no extra charge: ◘ The warmth, healing, and pain reduction of hand-held hot stones - they will never burn your skin. ◘ In-motion cupping on oiled skin to loosen overly tight fascia (optional and if needed). It never leaves any red marks like stationary traditional cupping, because the cup is always in motion on your body. How the self-care package concludes: A full sugar body scrub with full length hot steam towel
The executive’s brief: Top sugar scrub benefits and why you'll love it ◘ Sugar scrub exfoliates your skin ◘ Seals the moisturizes in your skin with natural oils ◘ Helps to avoid or remove ingrown hairs ◘ Brightens and evens out your skin’s texture ◘ Helps to remove toxins ◘ Increases your skin’s circulation
Most Canadians, but especially those in the prairie provinces, live near the arctic, so your winter skin is dry and irritated. Irritated skin is just skin that needs a little more TLC.
Sugar scrub exfoliates your skin
You might be unsure of what “exfoliation” is. It’s when you remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. Essentially, it gently encourages cell turnover and brings healthier skin to the surface. It makes your skin smooth, even after one treatment.
◘ Moisturizes your skin with natural oils ◘ The sugar crystals used to scrub your skin are mixed with natural oils that seal the moisture in your skin. ◘ I hand-blend mine with deep-moisturizing Avocado Oil, vitamin fortified Carrot Oil (Beta Carotene/Vitamin A), Wheat Germ Oil (VitaminE), Vitamin C, healthy Sunflower Oil, and healing Jojoba Oil. ◘ Helps to avoid or remove ingrown hairs ◘ One way to treat yourself is to use sugar body scrub before shaving. It helps unclog pores and remove textured skin that can lead to those pesky ingrown hairs. ◘ Brightens and evens out your skin’s texture
◘If you’re still not convinced: who doesn’t want even skin texture? The Hawaiian cane sugar gently exfoliates your skin while it also smooths and brightens your skin’s appearance. ◘ Helps to remove toxins ◘ No matter how well we take care of our body and skin, there’s always outside factors we can’t control: UV rays, pollution, pesticides—they all contribute to premature aging, of all your organs, especially your skin.
Using sugar body scrub can help rid your skin of those toxins and keep you looking and feeling youthful.
◘ Sugar does not sting like salt body scrubs ◘ You may be aware that there are also body scrubs made of salt.
These are beneficial in their own way, because our bodies are made of salt water. Think about how salty you get when you sweat. A salt body scrub works with your body and skin's chemistry. It aligns with the pH balance of your body. The only downside of salt scrubs is that if you have a cut or an inflamed pimple, salt will burn.
Sugar scrubs don’t. In addition, when the scrub is complete, the sugar is melted away with water. The combination of sugar and water causes your scrubbed skin to look buffed, and shines. Like a newly polished marble counter.
It’s worth trying both scrubs, to see what your preference is. I provide both sugar and salt scrubs. So you can try the other one out during a subsequent visit.
The body scrub is performed on your back and front sides, and is instantly melted and wiped away along with excess oil with a full length hot steam towel. You may have had a hand cloth sized steam towel at the barber with a shave. Imagine how relaxing a full body hot steam towel is.
