Korean-Inspired Body Scrub · Austin, TX
Skin This Smooth Is Not an Accident
All the benefits of a traditional Korean body scrub. In a private massage room. By a licensed massage therapist who knows bodywork. Italy mitt exfoliation, botanical scrub, and a warm jojoba oil finish. No communal tables. No shower required.
The Banyan & Bamboo Way
Not Your Average Spa
Traditional Korean body scrubs are performed in communal bathhouses — you are on a table in an open room, surrounded by other guests, with attendants working quickly through a line of clients.
At Banyan & Bamboo, we take the technique and leave the communal part behind. Your treatment happens in a private massage room, with a licensed massage therapist who understands the body, adjusts pressure to your comfort, and gives you their full attention for the entire session.
We are a dry spa. After two full towels and rough mitt exfoliation head-to-toe passes, your therapist will complete your treatment with a warm jojoba oil pass to hydrate and create a silky, smooth, radiant finish. Clean, private, and complete, no shower, no wet room, no communal anything.

Why It Works
Six Reasons Your Skin
Will Thank You
Korean exfoliation is one of the most effective body treatments in existence. Here is what is actually happening to your skin during the session.
✦
Deep Exfoliation
Traditional Italy-style exfoliation mitts remove layers of dead skin cells that regular loofahs and shower scrubs cannot reach. The result is visibly smoother, softer skin immediately after treatment.
✦
Improved Circulation
The friction and pressure of the mitt technique stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage, leaving skin with a healthy flush and supporting the body's natural detox processes.
✦
Jojoba Oil Finish
Our third pass applies warm jojoba oil across the freshly exfoliated skin. Because the dead skin barrier has been removed, the oil absorbs instantly and leaves a luminous, glistening finish that lasts for days.
✦
Enhanced Product Absorption
Removing the dead skin barrier allows serums, oils, and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively. Clients who receive regular body scrubs notice improved results from their at-home skincare routine.
✦
Skin Texture and Tone
Regular treatments minimize uneven texture, reduce the appearance of keratosis pilaris (chicken skin), and help even out skin tone across the body over time.
✦
Pre-Treatment Prep
A body scrub is the ideal preparation before a spray tan, body wrap, or any treatment that requires maximum skin absorption. Fresh, exfoliated skin responds dramatically better.
The Experience
What to Expect,
Step by Step
Private Room, Full Comfort
You arrive at your private massage room, not a communal scrub table. You are draped and comfortable throughout the entire treatment, just as you would be for a massage.
Warm Towel Preparation
Your therapist prepares your skin with warm towels to open the pores and soften the outer skin layer, making the exfoliation more effective and comfortable.
First Italy Mitt Pass
Using a traditional Korean Italy exfoliation mitt, your therapist works through the entire body with firm, rhythmic strokes from head to toe. Dead skin rolls away visibly. The results are immediate.
Second Italy Mitt Pass
A second full head-to-toe pass with the mitt goes deeper, removing any remaining buildup and ensuring every area is thoroughly exfoliated. This is what makes the finish so dramatically smooth.
Jojoba Oil Glow Finish
Warm jojoba oil is applied across the entire body. Because the dead skin barrier has been removed, the oil absorbs almost instantly, leaving a luminous, glistening finish. No shower needed. You are done.

Pair It With
The scrub removes the dead skin barrier, so anything applied immediately after absorbs at a dramatically higher rate. These pairings are designed to maximize that window.
Most Popular Pairing
Add-On Massage
Book a massage on the same visit and your therapist applies oil to freshly exfoliated skin. The absorption difference is immediate and noticeable. Clients who do this once rarely book the scrub alone again.
Best Value
Silk Reset Scrub and Wrap
Full-body exfoliation followed by a nourishing botanical body wrap and hydrating lotion finish. The complete reset. Ideal before a big event, a seasonal skin refresh, or when you want the full transformation in one visit.
Deep Hydration
