A body scrub, body mask and body cream are not interchangeable. In a spa treatment, each one is used at a different stage: scrub first, mask second, cream third.
What is a body scrub?
A body scrub is the exfoliation step. It is used at the beginning of the treatment to remove surface buildup and prepare the skin for the next stage.
What is a body mask?
A body mask is the treatment step that follows exfoliation. It is applied after the scrub has been removed, then taken off according to the treatment procedure before the finishing product is used.
What is a body cream?
A body cream is the finishing care step in the standard sequence. It is applied after the body mask has been removed to complete the treatment.
Body scrub vs body mask vs body cream
| Product | Main treatment role | Typical order |
|---|---|---|
| Body Scrub | Exfoliation | 1st |
| Body Mask | Treatment / conditioning | 2nd |
| Body Cream | Finishing care | 3rd |
Can spa fragrance be added?
Yes. A spa fragrance can be used as an optional fourth step after the cream when the treatment includes a coordinated aroma finish.
Where does massage oil fit?
Massage oil is generally part of a massage service rather than the scrub, mask, cream sequence. The BORAGE Sakura ritual is a specific exception because it combines Sakura Dry Body Scrub with warmed Sakura Massage Oil.
Which format does BORAGE supply?
BORAGE supplies body scrubs, body masks and body creams in 4 kg spa formats. The range includes multiple lines and aroma profiles so spas can build treatments around their menu concept.
Quick answer
Scrub exfoliates, mask is the treatment step, and cream finishes the body care service. Use them in that order unless a specific ritual has its own protocol.
