Our scrub sessions: a must for healthy skin

 

Regular exfoliation is a great way to keep your skin healthy. Don’t feel like doing it at home? No problem! At Thermae Grimbergen, you can treat yourself to a relaxing scrub session in our steam bath! We organise several scrub sessions every day.

The health benefits of exfoliation

This ancient cleansing ritual dates back to the Romans and remains a popular treatment to this day. The warm steam melts away stress, opens the airways, and softens the skin, making it easier to remove dead skin cells and other impurities.

Scrubbing is deeply cleansing and the gentle, circular motions improve circulation, helping to flush out toxins for a smoother complexion. The result: soft, radiant skin.

The warmth of the steam bath eases muscle tension and promotes relaxation and deeper sleep. With so many health benefits, you’ll have to try it during your next visit to our thermal baths!

Join one of our daily scrub sessions

We organise several scrub sessions a day in our steam baths, in both the swimwear and the nude areas. Our sauna masters also host several daily Aufguss and relaxation sessions to choose from. On Wednesdays, our Zen master offers extra Mindful Moments for our guests to enjoy.

What to expect during a scrub session

If you’re not sure what to expect from our scrub sessions, we’d be happy to explain it to you! Start by taking a shower before you enter the steam bath. Then, choose a spot and have a seat (you can rinse off your spot using the hose if you want). The Aufguss master will come by with an exfoliant and then waft the warm steam over your body using a towel. Gently massage the salt or exfoliant into your skin using circular motions. After your session, rinse off under the shower. Then, take a few minutes to relax and have something to drink before you head into your next sauna!
