What Are Body Wraps?

Body Wraps are spa treatments created to enhance the health and appearance of your skin. Wraps are used for various specific reasons and can remineralize, hydrate, stimulate, detoxify and promote relaxation, to name a few. The products used will determine the effects and results.

The use of Body Wraps dates back to ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. Our skin being our largest organ of the body has the power to eliminate and absorb faster than any other organ. This can have a signifigant effect on your health and well being.

Some of the most popular Body Wraps and thier benefits:
