Body Scrub

What makes this ritual special, according to Débora

Débora Nunes, Mandalay Spa Therapist, approaches the Body Exfoliation as a simple form of care that can nevertheless transform the way the skin receives touch and the products applied afterwards. With organic and natural ingredients, essential oils and an intention that may be more energising or more relaxing, this treatment prepares the body for greater softness, radiance and lightness.

Recommended for anyone who…

• Feels that their skin is dry, dull, rough or lacking radiance.
• Is looking for quick, sensory and effective body care.
• Wants to prepare the skin before a massage or body ritual.
• Values exfoliation with essential oils and a personalised intention.

Débora Nunes’s perspective

For me, body exfoliation is often the beginning of a larger ritual. Some clients arrive with skin that is drier, duller or rougher, but also with the sense that the body needs to renew itself, release the weight of routine and receive care in a different way.

Before beginning, I try to understand what the person is looking for on that day. When they need energy, I can guide the experience towards a more stimulating feeling. When they arrive tired or wanting to slow down, I choose a gentler and more relaxing approach. Essential oils help us create this intention so that the treatment is not merely functional.

During exfoliation, I pay attention to the skin’s sensitivity, the pressure of the movements and the areas that need greater delicacy, such as the chest, arms or drier areas. The aim is to remove dead cells and smooth the skin without causing aggression, so the body becomes more receptive to the care that follows.

I particularly like to recommend this treatment before a massage. The skin becomes more even, touch feels more comfortable and the oils applied afterwards seem to integrate more effectively into the experience.
