A body polish is primarily a treatment for the skin – sort of a facial for the body. It should not be confused with a massage. Before the treatment begins, the therapist may ask you what kind of product you prefer, giving you a choice of smells, or asking whether you want to feel relaxed or revitalized by the body polish.
A body polish can be done with any number of materials – salt, sugar, coffee grounds, rice bran, pecan hulls – usually mixed with some kind of massage oil and aromatic like essential oils. If the polish uses salt, it might be called a salt scrub, salt glow or sea salt scrub. The exfoliation is usually followed by a shower and an application of body lotion.
A body polish usually takes place in a wet room, which has a tile floor and a drain. You will start face-down on a massage table covered with a towel, a sheet or a thin piece of plastic, or on a special wet table that has a Vichy shower overhead. A Vichy shower is a metal arm with five to seven shower heads that runs parallel to a cushioned treatment table, so you can get a shower while lying down.

Treatments are carried out in weekly sessions for 2-12 weeks for maximum results. Clients often report early benefits to their skin. The price of a body polish at is Rs. 1,800 onwards.
