Some of the ingredients used sound like they belong more in a kitchen or a garden rather than a spa-rosemary honey butter clay chocolate and eucalyptus
But these are used in various types of body waraps-a service that spa owners say is growing in popularity
Move over massages or buddy up the body warps can be done separately or as part of a package that includes a massage
Some spas promote body warps as nothing more than a relaxing moisturizing way to spend a little time and money but others tout specific body wraps as a way to detoxify slim down or deal with celluite-claims that physicians warn are not accurate
What is a body wrap?
if your thinking that a body wrap is a mummy like wrap you have got the idea but not the context
When body wraps were first offered decades ago linen sheets were used says Susie Ellis president of Spafinder INC an industry group based in New York the wraps were then mostly called herbal wraps Body wraps is a term that came to mean more than herbal wraps and became popular in the 1980s and 90s Ellis says
Soon the linen sheets were replaced by plastic and by thermal blankets Ellis tells webMD
Although the service varies from spa to spa typically you are led to a darkened room with flickering candles soft music and a massage table says Stephanie Carney a massage therapist at rA Organic Spa in burbank calif who provides body wraps with or without a massage
On a recent day carney layered her massage table to prepare it for a body wrap at the bottom was the thermal blanket on top of that was plastic that would be used to wrap the client then towels and on the very top sheets to keep the client warm
We start out with a scrub Carney says at her spa that could be the mud scrub pear and green apple scrub or other options you are then taken to the shower and rinsed before the wrap products-in the same varieties as the scrub-are applied
Carney smoothes on the wrap products in a thin layer wrapping body parts as she goes
When you are entirely wrapped-with your arms at your sides unless you are claustrophobic-the electric thermal blanket heat is typically hot enough to make you sweat
After that we cool down slowly Carney says
The final step is to rinse again and apply lotion your skin is going to feel really smooth Carney tells her clients most clients tell her the treatment is also relaxing
