A spa body wrap is a treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin through cleansing, detoxification and hydration as well as to restore relaxation. Although a number of unique body wraps are available in spas around the world, the most common ingredients include seaweed or algae products, mud or clay masks, thermoplastic sheeting and/or mylar blankets. The treatment begins with an all-over exfoliation using a body polish, salt or sugar scrub, or dry brushing technique followed by the cocooning process with the wrap’s signature ingredients, a vichy shower or cleansing of the skin, and finally, an application of moisturizer. Upon completion, a spa body wrap will leave you feeling fresh, hydrated and revitalized.
