Body wraps are not just loaded with cosmetic values but are also therapeutic. They are known to promote weight loss as they detoxify the body of excess fluids. Most wraps begin with the therapist applying a body scrub to exfoliate the skin. This is followed by a shower. The wraps – made from a combination of organic materials like mud and aloe vera, fruit extracts, sea salts and aroma oils, are then applied all over the body.
Step two is to wrap the person snugly in a thin plastic sheet (or even a blanket) so that all the active ingredients penetrate the skin quickly and the body begins to sweat. This helps drain the body of interstitial fluids (fluids in the body tissues) and toxins. This also de-congests the skin by opening the pores and thereby making the skin soft and smooth. The treatments last between 30 to 75 minutes depending on whether you go for just the wrap or also combine ii with a scrub and post-wrap massage.
