Frangipane oil will be drizzled over the body followed by a coconut rub, and a skin nourishing milk bath. The client is then wrapped in foil and towels to open the pores and allow the products to penetrate into the body. A milk bath facial and scalp massage follow whilst the client relaxes and then has a warm shower.
