What is the Body Wrap? 

Body Wrap is also referred to as a body cocoon or body mask is a beautifying body treatment created to enhance the health and appearance of skin, and/or reduce body measurements.

The treatment starts with the body exfoliation, either by dry brushing, salt scrub or body polish to remove dead skin cells to allow the nourishing products to penetrate into the skin.

This is followed by a nourishing oil or mineral-rich formula which is applied to the entire body.
