Scrubbing in summer gives you a radiant holiday glow

In summer, dead skin cells build up more quickly due to the sun, sunscreen, increased sweating, sea salt or pool chlorine. A good scrub removes that dull layer, making your skin smoother, fresher and more radiant again! And on top of that, your tan becomes more beautiful and more even. A real win‑win.

Do you lose your tan by scrubbing?

Not at all. Your tan sits in the deeper layers of your skin, not in the dead skin cells you remove. By getting rid of that dull layer, your bronzed complexion actually looks smoother, brighter and more radiant.

When should you scrub in summer?

Scrub before your holiday starts, and repeat it once or at most twice a week. More than that can irritate the skin. Choose a mild scrub with fine grains, as your skin is more sensitive in this season due to the sun and the heat. 
When should you avoid scrubbing?

• If your skin is sunburned.
• During the first days of your holiday: let your skin adjust to the sun, the heat, and so on.

After a good peeling, it’s important to hydrate your skin. Use an aftersun and don’t forget your sunscreen if you’re going back into the sun! 
A radiant summer skin starts with the right routine. Prefer being pampered instead of doing it all yourself? At Thermae Boetfort, you have several options:

• Want something more special? Try our Oriental hammam peeling (25’) or go for the longer version: hammam peeling (45’).
• If you like combining a treatment with a sauna day, choose the Hamam Delight arrangement with the 45-minute hammam peeling or the Silky Skin with a 25-minute body peeling and a 25-minute back massage.
