Many people simply underestimate the importance of what may seem, at first glance, to be such a simple procedure as peeling. Timely exfoliation of dead skin cells from the face and body should be an essential part of every woman’s beauty routine. This treatment helps keep the skin clean and smooth. Salt peeling is one of the simplest yet incredibly pleasant treatments for facial and body care.
Features of Salt Peeling at Royal Thai Spa
Salt peeling is based on the mechanical exfoliation of already dead skin cells. Salt crystals dissolve and remove dry, dead skin particles, allowing the skin to renew itself in a short period of time.
The peeling treatment is based on finely ground sea salt. The composition can be enriched with moisturizing and essential oils, powders made from other natural ingredients (Provençal herbs, tea, oatmeal), and honey. Thanks to this combination of ingredients, the peeling treatment helps to:
- deeply cleanse the pores of the face and body;
- smooth and moisturize the skin;
- reduce excess oiliness of the face and back, as well as the number of breakouts and inflammations;
- prevent cellulite;
- smooth scars and acne marks;
- reduce skin pigmentation.
In addition, the mechanical action improves blood circulation, which helps stimulate metabolism and lymphatic drainage, while also toning the entire body. Regular treatments can provide a rejuvenating effect by smoothing fine lines and improving skin firmness and elasticity.
How a Salt Peeling Session Works
Even such a simple treatment as salt peeling is performed by a qualified specialist at our salon. Before the procedure, the specialist assesses your skin concerns and selects the peeling formula and the size of the exfoliating particles specifically for you. For the face, the particles are smaller and gentler, while for the body they are coarser and more intense.
The procedure is performed only on cleansed and steamed skin. Using a special brush or massage mitt, the specialist applies the mixture to the face or body and gently massages all the required areas. On the face, the movements should be light and follow the massage lines to avoid stretching the delicate skin.
The peeling is then rinsed off. If the treatment is performed on the body, the client takes a shower and rinses it off themselves. Afterward, a mask is applied to the face and neck, while a nourishing cream is applied to the body. Thanks to the deep cleansing effect, the skin readily absorbs skincare products.
The procedure is recommended once every 7–9 days. More frequent use may lead to skin thinning and dryness, increased sensitivity, and hyperpigmentation.
