If you are considering a spa body wrap treatment but are not sure what is involved, then read on. I am about to explain the entire spa body wrapping process to you so you know exactly what to expect.
What Happens During a Spa Body Wrap?
Spa bod wraps usually begin with exfoliation of the skin using a dry brush or salt scrub. The exfoliation process helps open the pores of the skin, maximizing the effects of the formula that will soon be applied to your skin.
Once you have exfoliated your skin, the esthetician will beging to apply the body wrapping formula to your body. If you are getting a full body wrap, they will usually start at your feet at work their way upwards towards your neck. The type of formula that will be used varies, but is usually one of the following:
- Aloe vera
- Sea clay
- Mud
- Chocolate
- Lotion or cream
Once the formula has been applied to your body, the esthetician will begin wrapping your body with towels or clothes. Most of the time you will receive a light massage as you relax.
After your massage, the esthetician will begin to unwrap your body. Since this is a rather messy process, you will usually be asked to unwrap in a wet room or shower. Some spas have Vichy showers, which allows you to take a shower while lying down. Very nice!
Once the body wrap formula has been removed from your skin, the esthetician will then apply lotion or moisturizers to your entire body to further hydrate your skin.
And there you have it, that is the spa body wrapping process in a nut shell!
If you are happy with the results you experience after your spa body wrap, then I suggest that you consider home body wrap treatments on a regular basis. They work as well as spa body wraps, but cost about 85% less.
