Is a salt or sugar scrub better for your skin?

Both salt and sugar scrubs offer excellent exfoliation benefits, but the right choice depends on your skin type and sensitivity. Sugar scrubs are gentler and better suited for sensitive, dry, or delicate skin because sugar granules are smaller and dissolve more easily on contact. Salt scrubs are slightly more coarse and are ideal for normal-to-oily skin or areas with rougher texture like elbows, knees, and feet, as they draw out impurities and provide a deeper exfoliation. At Soak Spa in Fort Collins, our organic seasonal scrubs are formulated to be effective yet nurturing — our therapists can help recommend the best option for your skin during your visit.

What is a body wrap and what are its benefits?

A body wrap is a luxurious spa treatment where the body is coated in nourishing ingredients — such as organic shea butter, essential oils, or botanical blends — and then wrapped snugly in warm flannel sheets or thermal blankets to allow the skin to deeply absorb the active ingredients. At Soak Spa in Fort Collins, our body wraps use warmed organic shea butter rich in antioxidant vitamin E to soothe, plump, and smooth the skin. Benefits include deep hydration, improved skin elasticity, relief from dry or flaky skin, relaxation of the nervous system, and a radiant, healthy glow.

What is included in the Blissful Rose + Lavender Scrub and Wrap Combo?

The Blissful Rose + Lavender Combo at Soak Spa is a 105-minute head-to-toe luxury treatment priced at $199. It begins with a seasonal organic sugar or salt scrub infused with lavender and rose, gently exfoliating the skin to remove dry, dead cells and encourage new cell growth. This is followed by a Rose and Lavender Shea Butter Body Wrap, where warmed organic shea butter is applied to the body and you're cocooned in flannel sheets to absorb vitamin E antioxidants. The treatment concludes with a therapeutic scalp and facial massage, an aromatherapy inhalation, and a hot towel treatment for the feet. A take-home body brush is also included.

What is dry brushing and why is it included in the body wrap?

Dry brushing is a technique where a natural-bristle brush is used on dry skin using light, sweeping strokes before a treatment begins. It is included in Soak Spa's Hydrating Shea Butter Body Wrap because it helps promote lymphatic drainage, stimulate circulation, and prepare the skin to absorb the nutrients in the shea butter wrap more effectively. Dry brushing also gently removes dead skin cells from the surface, leaving the skin softer and more receptive to hydration. Each body wrap service at Soak Spa includes a body brush for you to take home so you can continue this beneficial practice between visits.

Are Soak Spa's body scrubs and wraps suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. At Soak Spa in Fort Collins, all body scrub and wrap treatments use organic, natural ingredients specifically chosen for their gentle, skin-nourishing properties. The organic sugar scrubs are particularly well-suited for those with sensitive skin, as sugar granules are finer and dissolve more readily compared to salt. The shea butter used in our wraps is a deeply moisturizing, naturally hypoallergenic ingredient that is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types. If you have known allergies or skin conditions, please inform your therapist prior to your session so they can make appropriate adjustments.

How should I prepare for a body scrub or wrap at Soak Spa?

To get the most out of your body scrub or wrap at Soak Spa in Fort Collins, we recommend the following: avoid shaving or waxing at least 24 hours before your appointment, as freshly treated skin can be more sensitive to exfoliation. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to help your body flush out toxins and stay hydrated. Arrive without heavy lotions or oils on your skin so the scrub and wrap ingredients can work more effectively. Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing to wear after your treatment. Our therapists will take care of the rest — you simply need to relax and enjoy.
