What are the Benefits of Body Wraps?
While visiting a day sap, it is possible to request a body wrap before or after having a massage therapy treatment. There are multiple benefits from body wraps, including skin tightening, moisturizing or deep cleansing. The types of body wraps available include:
·
Paraffin – warm wax application that softens and moisturizes skin
· Niacin – application of niacin cream that helps to detoxify the body
· Clay or mud – reduces water retention and soothes tender skin
· Mineral – tight wrapping with mineral applications to lift toxins from the skin
· Herbal – helps to begin a process toward weight loss
· Cryotherapy – stimulating cold body wrap to increase blood circulation
· Aloe vera compression – designed to assist with skin tightening and weight loss
· Algae or seaweed – provides nourishing and detoxifying skin care
Discuss Skin Tightening or Healthy Skin Requirements with the Aesthetician
When enjoying the benefits of body wraps at a day spa, the massage therapy expert discusses a client's needs and goals to determine the best treatment to have radiant and healthy skin. An aesthetician will provide an individualized approach for spa treatment by attempting to understand a client's particular skin type. Different types of body wraps are made from an assortment of substances, and the seaweed, herbs or clay are held next to the body with elastic, fabric or plastic materials.
How Aestheticians Perform this Skin Care Treatment
With this variety of spa treatment, an aesthetician might wrap the materials loosely for a soothing warm mud wrap or tightly for a compression wrap using cryotherapy. For optimal skin care, most individuals going to a day spa also want to have some type of massage therapy such as a foot, hand or full-body spa treatment. Healthy skin is the primary purpose for having a body wrap, but it is also possible to reduce discomfort in the joints, release toxins or eliminate excess fluids from skin tissue.
