A considerable number of people have at least experienced a facial treatment in a day spa. Facial treatments are famous for cleansing and exfoliating effects, say the Grupo Mayan experts in spas treatments. And like facials, body treatments are also meant to cleanse and exfoliate. The only difference is that body treatments cover the whole body. If it is important to cleanse the skin on your face, it is also very important that your whole body is cleansed.
We have two common body treatments namely the scrub and the wrap. These two treatments are done using different products like seaweeds, algae, assorted creams and sugar crystals. All have a common characteristic in exfoliating the skin so as to rejuvenate your senses. With the current commercialisation of body treatments, it gets hard to choose the one that perfectly suits both your needs and your budget.
The following are seven of the most common treatments being offered today by many spas and salons, each promising distinct benefits, say the Grupo Mayan experts:

It begins with a detoxifying treatment of the metabolic system, using mud, algae or even seaweed to amplify waste products removal fro the body. Hydrating treatment is also done using creams or lotions.
The third body treatment is detoxifying wraps. These are designed to actually penetrate skin so as to remove body toxins and unblock clogged skin poles. Wraps work on the lymphatic system when herbs penetrate the skin usually wrapped in warm towels. Today, say the Grupo Mayan experts, body wraps are being used to treat cellulite and reduce body weight.
The fourth treatment is the salt glow treatment, popular due to its invigorating effects. A therapist rubs a concoction of sea salt, oil, aromatics like lemon onto the skin, making it fragrant and soft.
The fifth body treatment is the airbrush tanning that gives your body a bronze tan without having to bask under the harmful UV rays of the sun. Today, salons are tanning the body using moisturising creams. Streak-free tan results after all dead skin cells have been removed.

Finally, say the Grupo Mayan experts, the Vichy shower is a body treatment aiming at reconnects you with nature. The method is soothing and invigorating.
