Keep reading to learn about SoJo Spa Club in Northern New Jersey and some of its traditional services and mid-week specials that are available this fall.
Korean Body Scrub Midweek Special
SoJo Spa Club has a selection of more individualized treatments meant to rejuvenate and nourish the body. The Korean Body Scrub Deluxe is one of the signature treatments and is widely popular amongst visitors to the spa.
This Korean bathhouse staple helps to remove dead skin cells from the body and improve skin tone and texture. The service starts with a 30-minute soak prior to the treatment and includes a traditional body scrub followed by a body treatment with soothing oil, moisturizing milk rinse, and a luxe hair shampoo. And while the Korean Body Scrub has a cult following, it is deeply rooted in traditional bathhouse culture and has been gaining some recent notoriety.
This September, spa-goers can receive 50% off of daily admission when they book a midweek (Tuesday through Thursday) Korean Body Scrub Deluxe and any Acupressure service together.
