Body wrap treatments are incredibly popular, but there are so many of them out there that it can be difficult to choose which ones to offer. While many spas offer every treatment under the sun, you should try sticking with the most popular and effective ones in order to give your clients what they want and need.
Most people get body wrap treatments because they want to exfoliate, detoxify, or rehydrate the skin. Body wraps generally involve applying a mixture of oils, lotions, muds, or seaweeds to the skin and then wrapping the body up tightly, allowing the ingredients to penetrate or extract things from the skin. This can result in softer, smoother, healthier skin.
The key to any body wrap is really in what comes before the wrap is applied. Salt scrubs or salt glows are the most popular body treatments because they exfoliate the skin using natural sea salts and soothing oils. Seaweed or mud treatments are often used to detoxify the body by drawing out waste through the skin using vasodilation. Applying lotions or creams before a body wrap will hydrate the skin while wrapped. Body wraps can also be used for weight or cellulite reduction.
