Go for the Glow: Body Spa Treatments for Spring

Spring is a time of renewal, and when it comes to your beauty regimen, that means taking a fresh look at your skin. Exfoliation is an important part of the process—and not just for your face. Body scrubs slough off dull, dead skin cells to encourage new growth and help polish the skin from the neck down. There are countless types of scrubs, but most are based in either sea salt or sugar. Sugar-based treatments tend to be a milder exfoliant, suggested especially for sensitive skin, because the sugar granules are smaller and rounder than the jagged salt particles. Sea salt scrubs, though, are known to help draw toxins from the body and soothe sore muscles. Whether you’re leaning towards salty or sweet, consider this sampling of local treatments to help get your glow back this season.
