On many occasions we have talked about the importance of exfoliating the skin and preparing it before a wood therapy session, but it is not only important to do it to perform these massages, also at certain times of the year and before applying some treatments.

We tell you what exfoliating the skin means concretely and the benefits that performing this process brings to it.

Benefits of exfoliating the skin from time to time

The goal of exfoliating the skin is none other than to remove dead skin cells from it. This is because the set of cells that make up our body, specifically our skin, is constantly renewed, as they have the ability to reproduce identical cells that replace them. This renewal process, innate to our body, is carried out in order to keep the skin’s functions intact.

Normally, and in younger skin, this process of cell renewal occurs in time and correctly, but over the years and due to prolonged exposure to external agents, the renewal slows down, so that, we could say, we have to help the cells to renew themselves.

The cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are the most affected, causing our skin to lose elasticity, firmness and shine. That is why it is important to exfoliate the skin from time to time, to help these cells responsible for making us look younger to renew themselves.

Thus, we can say that some benefits of cell renewal or exfoliation are:

• Removal of impurities and dead cells.
• The skin looks much fresher and with a much softer and velvetier texture .
• Blemishes and blemishes are attenuated.
• If we exfoliate before sunbathing, we will achieve a more uniform and long-lasting tan without flaking and preventing some areas from tanning more than others. In addition, exfoliation protects us from the sun.
• If your intention is to perform wood therapy massages, whether anti-cellulite or body, you will get much more noticeable results if you first perform a complete exfoliation. We’ll tell you!

Why exfoliate your skin before wood therapy sessions

The exfoliation that we explain below is a complete exfoliation, which must be performed on the legs, abdomen, arms and back, which you can apply to your client in the first of the sessions you perform on her. For example, you can sell him a 10-session voucher and perform this complete treatment in the first one. In the rest of the sessions, it will be enough to pass the exfoliating glove, as it is faster.

You can also sell him the cream that we use at Madero Aesthetic Therapy School Spain® so that he can do it at home. You can do this once a week.

I especially recommend that you perform this exfoliation, as we say, at the beginning of the wood therapy treatment, but also before summer, to prepare the skin and help it tan in a more uniform, natural and healthy way.

In this video you can see how to perform this complete exfoliation before the wood therapy treatment:

Thus, your client will notice the skin much softer after the wood therapy session, because with the exfoliation we will have removed all those dead cells that did not let the skin breathe. You will also get better results if, before performing the wood therapy treatment, you exfoliate the skin.

As we have indicated before, it is also important to exfoliate the skin before other treatments, such as waxing. Whether with waxing or laser hair removal, it is important to exfoliate the skin beforehand to remove ingrown hairs and renew dead cells.
