What Is an Ayurvedic Body Scrub?
A body scrub is a natural exfoliating treatment designed to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the body.
At Praana, we combine traditional Sri Lankan and Ayurvedic-inspired ingredients with gentle massage techniques.
The scrub is carefully applied to the skin using controlled circular movements before being gently removed.
Depending on your skin type and preference, we offer different natural formulations.

When Should You Avoid a Body Scrub?
Body scrubs involve physical exfoliation and may not be suitable for everyone.
Please inform your therapist if you have:
Sensitive skin
Sunburn
Open wounds
Cuts or abrasions
Active skin infections
Severe eczema or dermatitis
Significant skin irritation
Recent waxing or shaving
Recent laser or cosmetic procedures
Known allergies to ingredients
Recent surgery
Pregnancy or other special health considerations
Avoid exfoliating over damaged or irritated skin.
If you experience burning, pain, excessive redness, itching, or other discomfort, the treatment should be stopped.
Your skin comfort and safety always come first.
Before Your Body Scrub
Avoid Sun Exposure
Do not schedule an intensive body scrub immediately after significant sun exposure or sunburn.
Avoid Shaving Immediately Before
Shaving can make skin more sensitive to physical exfoliation.
Tell Your Therapist About Allergies
Especially if you are sensitive to:
Honey
Dairy
Fruits
Coconut
Herbs
Fragrances
Eat Lightly
Avoid a heavy meal immediately before treatment.
Stay Hydrated
Drink sufficient water before and after your treatment.
After Your Body Scrub
Following treatment:
Drink water
Keep your skin moisturized
Avoid strong exfoliation for several days
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Use gentle skincare products
Avoid very hot showers if your skin feels sensitive
Avoid strenuous activity immediately afterward if you feel warm or tired
How Often Can I Have a Body Scrub?
The appropriate frequency depends on your skin type and the intensity of the exfoliation.
For many guests, occasional exfoliation is sufficient.
Your therapist can recommend an appropriate frequency based on your skin sensitivity and the specific scrub used.
Avoid excessive exfoliation, as this can irritate the skin.
Can Body Scrub Remove Cellulite?
A body scrub can temporarily improve how the skin feels and looks by removing surface buildup and moisturizing the skin.
However, it does not permanently remove cellulite or body fat.
At Praana, we focus on:
Natural exfoliation + Skin care + Relaxation
rather than promising permanent cosmetic changes.
