Mineral-rich sea salts are the heart of the ESPA salt scrub ritual. This experience is gently exfoliating, replenishing and clarifying – a real awakening for the skin. They sweep away dead cells and boost circulation to reveal the fresher, clearer skin beneath.

Select one of our Invigorating, Detoxifying or Relaxing salt scrubs to suit your mood for this body-cleansing ritual. The included skin-softening Sweet Almond and Sunflower Oils provide deep nourishment to newly awakened skin.

However, getting the best results depends on mastering the perfect application technique. Here, we will explain how to use a sea salt body scrub from ESPA.

How to Use a Body Salt Scrub

Before you start

Before we teach youhow to use our product with the following steps, scoop a palm full ofsalt scrub into your hand and cup to warm and release the aroma.Apply the product in sweeping movements towards the heart to encourage lymph drainage, then work in gentle upward circular movements over each area.Therapist Tip:

We think its best to perform this ritual in the shower, be sure to shake the sachet before opening to blend the salt and oil together. Apply to damp skin, focusing on patches of excess dry skin making sure to avoid broken or damaged areas.

1. Legs

  • Standing, place hands flat on top of the foot and in one smooth movement apply the scrub up the entire front of the leg to the top of your hip, over the bottom, then down the back of the leg working into the heel.
  • Work back up the leg with circular movements and repeat to the other leg.

2. Stomach & Back

Stomach

  • Apply the scrub with the opposite hand sweeping from one side of the stomach to the other, then repeat with the other hand.
  • Using light circular movements massage in the direction of the colon from the lower right hand side of the stomach, up under the ribs and down the opposite side.

Back

  • Taking more product, sweep up the back from your bottom towards your shoulders, as far as you can comfortably reach.
  • Then work in upward circular movements and repeat to the opposite side.

3. Shoulders, Bust & Arms

Shoulders

  • Apply product by sweeping down the back of your neck and across your shoulder blade. Work the product in and repeat to the opposite side.

Bust

  • Starting at the base of your underarm smooth product around the breast in a circular movement back towards the underarm several times and repeat to the other breast.

Arms

  • Sweep product across the chest and down the opposite arm to the hand. With small circular movements work back upwards finishing at the underarm.
  • Repeat to the other arm.

4. Rinse & Finish

The final step for how to use a salt scrub is to rinse off thoroughly in the shower or soak away in the bath to leave skin soft and smooth.

Pat dry and apply your chosen ESPA body oil whilst the skin is still slightly damp.
