Smooth, nourished skin from head to toe

Shea butter has been used across West Africa for generations to protect and nourish skin, and it is at the heart of this treatment. A sugar scrub gently lifts away dry, dull surface skin, a warm shower rinses you clean, and warm shea butter is massaged in to seal in moisture.

The result is skin that feels soft, smells wonderful and looks healthy. It is a favourite before holidays, weddings, photo shoots and any time you want your skin to feel its best.

The 45 minute ritual

  • Sugar scrub applied in sections, working from the feet upwards
  • A warm shower to rinse
  • Warm shea butter massaged over the body
  • A rest with tea in the lounge

Tell us if you have broken skin, a sunburn, a recent wax or an allergy to nuts, shea or sugar. Avoid shaving for 24 hours before your scrub. The body scrub starts at GHS 350, or combine it with a deep tissue massage in our massage and scrub treatment.
