What is a Body Wrap?
A body wrap treatment may vary depending on where you are receiving your treatment and what type of result that you are trying to achieve. Body wraps are generally great at hydrating the skin, riding the body of toxins, and helping to lose inches in water weight. The primarily product used in a body wrap usually consists of either mud, clay, algae, seaweed, lotion, cream or aloe with essential oils and/or herbs designed to revitalize the body.
This bodywrap product is applied to the body - except the genital and breast areas which are covered - and then you are wrapped in a Mylar sheet, plastic sheet, towels, or linen sheets depending upon the service. A contouring body wrap will use bandages or a tightly wrapped sheet instead. Your body will generate heat and warmth while you are wrapped for twenty minutes as this allows time for the product to be absorbed into your body for the maximum effect.
The body wrap may help improve circulation, stimulate the metabolic system, increases the body's ability to carry waste products for elimination, and assist with skin care issues. It can also give the skin a very healthy, vibrant look. The time spent wrapped is great for stress and tension reduction.
