She will then finish by applying a moisturizer or oil to help keep your freshly polished skin hydrated. The whole treatment usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes.
While body polishes are appropriate for just about anyone, they are not recommended if you have cancer, a fever, a sunburn, or a skin condition that could be aggravated by the vigorous scrub. Be sure to tell your therapist if you think you might be allergic to a scrub’s ingredients.
