Polynesian Spa and JUARA Skincare: A Perfect Partnership
We continue partnering with JUARA Skincare products, as they are a perfect fit for the spa’s commitment to natural and effective treatments.
We offer a beautiful Candlenut Body Polish therapy using JUARA Skincare products. This treatment begins with a full-body exfoliation using the Juara Candlenut Body Polish. The polish is made with candlenut, coffee beans, and brown sugar, and it gently buffs away dead skin cells to reveal the soft, smooth skin underneath.
After the exfoliation, guests are treated to a massage with organic coconut oil. The massage helps to further relax and rejuvenate the body, and it also helps to seal in the moisture from the body polish.
The Juara Candlenut Body Polish therapy is a great way to improve the overall appearance of the skin. It leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.
Here are some of the benefits of the Juara Candlenut Body Polish therapy:
- Removes dead skin cells and impurities
- Stimulates blood circulation
- Improves skin texture
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite
- Promotes relaxation and well-being
