Are you looking for an all-natural way to enhance and moisten your skin? Want to decrease excess water weight from your body in a matter of hours? Then a body wrap might be exactly what you are looking for. Originally a body wrap was a treatment where bandages or plastic wrap was tightly wrapped around the body to cause quick weight loss through vasodilatation.
These days a body wrap is more likely to be treatment where you're slathered with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream, depending on the treatment, then wrapped for 20 minutes to keep you warm. Later the product is rinsed off. The body wrap usually ends with application of lotion. This treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon or body mask.
