For some of us, the mere mention of ‘summer body’ sends us searching for cover-ups; after all, we’ve been in a sort of hibernation state since fall. Winter came and winter went, then spring, and now summer is gawking at us with a big hot smile. If you fall into this category of humans, then it might not be too late to get that so-called summer body. This is because just in time for the beachy season, SensAsia Urban Spa has just introduced a bunch of summer body treatments that might just provide you with the confidence boost you need to parade what your mama gave you around the beach or pool.

These summer body treatments are said to be powerful, targeted and results-driven, and work with specially-selected products from Elemis, as well as the spa’s latest-to-launch range, Esse – an innovative, organic and cruelty-free South African-born brand that prides in ‘live’ probiotic skincare.

While undergoing the curated body treatments, the experts will focus on your own unique, specific problem areas such as the arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs. They use intense massage and purifying clay to break down fatty deposits, improve circulation and visibly tighten those ‘wobbly bits’ that summer seems to lure from hiding.

Summer Body Treatments Series

The summer body series also includes detoxifying and toning treatments for the entire body, using natural ingredients including green tea, coffee, cocoa and guarana extract to exfoliate, cleanse, purify and ‘wake up’ the skin. The massage techniques stimulate blood flow and improve overall texture.

And when it comes to detoxing, the Elemis Thousand Flower Detox is your best choice if you’re in search of some neat summer body benefits, coupled with the complete sensory journey. The treatment combines a deep- cleansing, revitalizing Elemis facial with a detoxifying, vitamin-packed and nutrient-rich toning body wrap for a top-to-toe rejuvenation.
