What Is a Full Body Scrub — and Is It Worth It?

Nairobi's dry seasons, dust and strong sun can leave skin feeling rough and dull. A full body scrub is one of the simplest ways to reset.

What happens during a scrub

A gently abrasive mixture — often salt or sugar with nourishing oils — is massaged over the skin in circular movements, section by section. It's then rinsed away and the skin is moisturised. You're discreetly draped throughout.

How to prepare

• Avoid shaving or waxing for 24 hours before
• Skip self-tan beforehand
• Mention any sensitive skin or conditions

Aftercare

• Moisturise daily for the following week
• Wear sunscreen on exposed skin
• Avoid other strong exfoliants for a few days

How often?

Every three to four weeks suits most people. A scrub pairs beautifully with a hot oil massage on a separate day.
