Scrubs - wording and scope of practice

[Benny Commo]

I've recently added a couple foot and hand scrubs to my service menu. Obviously one of the biggest benefits of receiving a scrub is the exfoliation, but as a massage therapist can I legally mention exfoliation in the description?
Here is what I currently say:
Start with an essential oil spritz, followed by sugar "raindrops". An all-natural brown sugar or coffee scrub (your choice!) is applied to the skin in a circular motion for exfoliation and removed with warm towels. You'll then receive a massage to that body part, followed by hot towels, all of which create a luxuriously moisturizing and relaxing experience.

If I am correct about not mentioning exfoliation, does anyone have any other suggestions for wording?
Thanks in advance!

It may depend on your State's wording, but to the best of my knowledge, you are correct: as a MT you cannot say exfoliation; I don't think you can talk about moisturizing, either - that happens, but it's not our scope or intent.

You can say improved circulation and skin tone, which you could easily substitute for exfoliation.

As NC_Kneader said, it depends on the laws regulating massage in your state. If you let us know where you are located, perhaps someone here will be familar with your specific regulations.

Here in Florida, we can exfolliate but not moisturize or cleanse.
