I Tried a Professional Full-Body Scrub

Preparing for a professional body scrub is a bit different compared to going for a traditional massage. Page Buldini, esthetician and founder of Page Aesthetics Skincare, recommends showering in advance. Many spas have on-site showers that are quite lovely so arrive early to partake in that perk.

You'll also want to remove all of your jewelry and your therapist will remind you if you haven't already done so. Also plan for comfy clothing and shoes that are easy to slip on and off.

"This treatment will leave your body and possibly hair moisturized so I would be mindful of scheduling," notes Buldini. "Before and after 24 hours, I would also limit working out, sun exposure and swimming or hot tubs due to the skin being exfoliated."
