The Spa at Crocodile Bay Feature Article: Sea Salt Polish

Sea salt is produced by the evaporation of water from the brine of the sea. Areas of production include the Cayman Islands, France, Ireland, Colombia, Sicily, Italy, the Mediterranean and Maine and Cape Cod in the United States. The combination of water and sea salt is the basis of many powerful therapeutic treatments for various dry skin conditions such as psoriasis. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, discovered the therapeutic qualities of seawater by noticing the healing effects it had on the injured hands of fishermen.

The Spa at Crocodile Bay, Costa Rica invites you to experience our Sea Salt Polish. The sensory rewards of this invigorating, deeply cleansing treatment are a radiant afterglow and skin that is soft as silk to the touch.

The Sea Salt Polish
Sea salt granules, rich in magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium and iodine, mixed with green tea and the oils of olives, sunflowers, rosemary, lemongrass and peppermint, are used to gently scrub away dry, flaky skin in a gentle motion that increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles and stimulates the elimination of toxins. This process not only cleans your skin but assists in the rejuvenation of new, healthy skin cells.

Green tea extract is naturally rich in antioxidants which protect the body from free radicals; those particles in the body associated with accelerated aging as a result of exposure to pollution, sun and smoking. The combination of the essential oils used in this treatment provide a refreshing, detoxifying synergy intended to activate the lymphatic system.

Therapists remark on how soft and glowing their own hands and lower arms feel and look after performing this treatment.
