About the Wellness aspect of Exfoliation & Massage:
What is exfoliation?
Exfoliation is removing the dead cells from the layers of your skin to reveal the live cells beneath.
Why do you need to do it?
There are several benefits to exfoliation.
- Removing dead cells allows fresh live cells to surface giving the skin back a healthy glow.
- Dead cells are dead, and cannot be brought back to life. Products wet down these cells and dry back out. Removing the dead cells allows products to nourish the live cell.
- Dead cells block off the oxygen to the skin, making it dull, and unable to breathe.
In Europe it’s considered necessary to being clean as soap and water.
Why should Massage be part of your Wellness plan?
Massage is just crazy good for you. In the past massage was thought of as kind of frivolous and a luxury. Not anymore – they’re a necessity.
