Ask The Expert

In this month’s Ask the Expert section, our senior spa therapist and assistant manager, Victoria Hassall, explains the benefits of exfoliation.

What are the benefits of exfoliating before entering the thermal spa?

Before you enter The Cove Spa, one of the things we recommend is exfoliating your skin. Gentle exfoliation can help prepare your skin for your spa experience and leave it feeling softer and smoother. Benefits include:

• Removing surface build up – This helps your body more easily absorb any oils or moisturising products you plan to use after your session.
• Evening out rough skin – Gentle exfoliation can also help buff away any rough, flaky patches, particularly on areas such as elbows, knees and heels.
• Improving circulation – Gentle exfoliation can stimulate blood flow, helping you feel refreshed and invigorated.
• Unclogging Pores – Exfoliation can help clear out trapped dirt whilst also helping to prevent ingrown hairs. This is particularly helpful if you’re having a massage or wax following your thermal spa experience

At The Cove Spa we have a range of exfoliation products available to purchase. Speak to one of our experienced spa therapists for advice on which product will best suit your skin type and help you get the most from your spa experience.
