Body wraps combine therapeutic masks — herbal pastes, mineral-rich muds or soothing creams — with thermal coverings. The body mask will contain a mixture of ingredients designed to have a remedial effect on your skin, while the coverings will swathe and warm your body, promoting muscle relaxation, and sweating to cleanse your pores.
Most spas use a few core adjectives to describe their body wrap treatments: slimming, detoxifying, relaxing and hydrating are favourites, along with cellulite wraps.
Depending on the wrap you choose, you might notice:
Temporary inch loss
Softer, firmer, hydrated or cleansed skin
Reduced appearence of cellulite
Relaxed muscles.
