Body wrap were originally a treatment where Ace bandages or plastic wrap was tightly wrapped around the body to cause quick weight loss through vasodilation. You can still find these types of “slimming” body wraps, which result in the temporary loss of weight and inches. But today a body wrap is more likely to be treatment where you’re slathered with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream, , then wrapped for 20 minutes to keep you warm. Later the product is rinsed off. The body wrap usually ends with application of lotion. This treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon or body mask. What are the Benefits of a Body Wrap? Body wraps that use algae, seaweed, mud or clay are detox treatments that help rid the body of toxins through metabolic stimulation. * Body wraps using shea butter and rich lotions are hydrating treatments geared towards softening the skin. What Happens During A Body Wrap? Often a body wrap begins with exfoliation through dry brushing or a salt scrub. You lie down on whatever you will eventually be wrapped in – often plastic or mylar, but sometimes towels or sheets. I think it’s best when a aesthetician or massage therapist does the body wrap, because they naturally incorporate the right techniques when they apply the product. Once the product is on, you’re wrapped to stay warm, usually for 20 minutes. Oftentimes the therapist leaves the room, but sometimes they stay and give you a scalp massage (much better, in my opinion!) When the time is up, you’re unwrapped and the body mask has to come off. Then you dry off, and there’s usually an application of lotion to moisturize your skin. |
