In the serene confines of The Okura spa, the treatment begins with a 30-minute exfoliating milk body scrub using a mix of milk, plai, tamarind, honey and jasmine rice to warm, clean and relax the skin. This is followed by a 60-minute oil massage using sweet almond oil, which is rich in vitamin E, and a scented Thai herbal ball compress to relieve the back, neck and shoulders of tension. A longer version of the treatment is available with a 90-minute whole body massage.
Tamarind has been acknowledged for generations in the East, especially in Thai culture, for its exfoliation and brightening properties. A wonderful source of AHA and Vitamin C, it helps to gently slough away dull skin cells and diminish the sign of aging. Plai is an effective anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic herb used in body and muscle treatment in sports medicine worldwide. Honey is antibacterial and reduces blemishes, while jasmine rice is a highly effective basis for a body scrub—it gently yet effectively exfoliates to remove dead surface skin cells without over-drying.
