Body wraps are spa treatments designed to detoxify, hydrate, slim, or soothe the body using natural ingredients like clay, algae, or essential oils. They’re often used to improve skin texture, reduce water retention, and promote relaxation.
What Is a Body Wrap?
A body wrap—also called a body cocoon or mask—involves applying a therapeutic mixture to the body, then wrapping it in cloth, plastic, or mylar. You’re left to relax for 30–60 minutes while the ingredients work their magic.
Key Benefits
- Detoxification: Wraps with clay, mud, seaweed, or algae stimulate circulation and help flush out toxins.
- Temporary inch loss: Firm wrapping and sweating can reduce water retention, giving a slimmer appearance for a short time.
- Skin exfoliation: Some wraps include a scrub or polish to remove dead skin cells and boost radiance.
- Deep hydration: Cream- or gel-based wraps nourish dry skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
- Relaxation: The treatment offers a calming, spa-like experience that can ease stress and tension.
What to Expect
- Prep: You may receive a body scrub first.
- Application: The wrap mixture is applied to your body.
- Wrapping: You’re wrapped snugly and left to rest.
- Unwrapping & Rinse: The wrap is removed, and your skin is rinsed and moisturised.
Pro Tips
- Drink water before and after to support detox.
- Avoid heavy meals or alcohol post-treatment.
- Combine with massage or facial for a full spa experience.
