Give the chocolate lover in your life a great chocolate spa experience. Chocolate body scrubs are often made from real cocoa and smell good enough to eat!
Day spas and resort spas often offer dozens of different services from traditional massages like deep tissue massage to exotic massages like Thai massage; from deep cleansing facials to back facials; from lip waxing to buttocks waxing; and much, much more. While a $50, $100, or other dollar amount spa or massage gift is a great choice for a gift; it can be more personal if you choose a specific service and purchase a gift certificate for a particular treatment. When you choose the treatment it adds a personal touch beyond a dollar amount certificate. We are highlighting some different spa treatments to give you some ideas of what you might find around. The perfect gift may be at your local day spa.
Chocolate Sea Salt Body Scrub
Here is a tasty spa gift idea for any occasion; give a gift certificate for a chocolate body scrub at your local day spa. If someone you care about is a chocolate lover this delicious spa treatment is sure to please her. Often made with Dead Sea salts and pure cocoa extract, a chocolate scrub is designed to soften the epidermis and stimulate surface oxygenation. Cocoa extract is loaded with antioxidants as well as magnesium, an essential mineral in muscle health. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant, reducing cramps (including menstrual cramps, leg cramps, etc.) and softening tense muscles. Plus you are guaranteed to smell like a chocolate bar for at least 24 hours!
Scrubs at a day spa are applied by a licensed massage therapist or a licensed aesthetician. The main focus of the treatment is your skin (as opposed to your muscles which are the focus of most massages). Your therapist will apply the chocolate scrub to most of your body, either one section at a time or on the entire body at once and will scrub away; removing dead skin cells while your body soaks up the benefits of the cocoa. Usually, it is appropriate to administer the treatment to most of the body from the neck down including the back, legs, arms, buttocks, abdomen, etc. The face and breast are generally not included in a body scrub service.
After your scrub you are usually taken to a shower where you can wash off. A body scrub can be a standalone treatment or can be part of a more complete service which may include a body wrap, massage, or other services.
