A body wrap refers to a procedure used in salons that releases toxins from the body, and/or helps the clients to lose weight or inches off problems areas such as the legs, stomach or hips. Body wraps can be conducted in a salon, or applied at home with over-the-counter or mail-order kits.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide if you want your body wrap done in a salon or at home. For best results, go to a popular salon in your area. Try Spafinder online to locate a spa in your area that features body wraps. If you want to do your wrap at home, be sure to order your kit from a reputable company or website, like Amazon or Drugstore.

  2. Step 2

    Exfoliate with a salt scrub. The client lies down on a massage table and receives a dry brushing or skin cleansing treatment before the actual wrap begins. The clinician applies a scrub designed to rid the skin of dead cells before beginning the wrapping procedure.

  3. Step 3

    Indulge in a weight loss or inch reduction wrap. The esthetician will place elastic bandages soaked in a mineral solution on your legs or other problem areas. You'll stay wrapped for 20 minutes, possibly longer, while the bandages and solution work to firm skin and reduce impurities in the body.

  4. Step 4

    Feel your improved skin tone as the clinician removes the wrap. You will be rinsed off with a handheld shower. After you're dried off, you'll receive a final application of lotion.

  5. Step 5

    Remember that results aren't permanent. You'll have to return to the spa or repeat the wrap yourself a few months later to keep trim.

Tips & Warnings
  • Body wraps alone won't keep you slim. When used in conjunction with exercise and a good diet, wraps will keep you looking and feeling your best.
  • Follow directions for at-home kits carefully; don't improvise.
