Origins of the Hydrating Body Wrap
For many centuries, body wraps have been used by those who wished to beautify and sculpt
their bodies. In ancient times, the Egyptians enjoyed
slimming body wraps as well as aromatic, herb-infused
compresses. Body wrap
supplies of that era consisted of papyrus
leaves steeped in natural, detoxifying ingredients, applied
warm to the skin. This rejuvenating body wrap improved
circulation, detoxification, and toning the skin for a
youthful look.
After becoming popular in Europe in the early 60s, co-ed
body wrap salons began springing up in Hollywood. Popularity
around the country grew once its slimming and detoxifying
benefits became better known to the public. Over the
years, many clients have taken advantage of the inch loss
properties of body wraps to fit back into regular clothes
after child bearing or to fit into a dress for a special
occasion. You can also take advantage of the immediate
results of a body wrap to jump start your diet or
exercise program.
The Benefits go Beyond Inch Loss:
With the focus shifting from just weight loss to
prevention and fitness, people are now looking for
natural ways to detoxify their bodies. Body wraps are an
alternative or complement to other wellness or fitness
activities. In the last decade, med spa numbers have soared as they've
added body wraps to their list of services. A body wrap can
also be used for relaxation or stress relief. In fact, we've
seen many instances when a body wrap can ease menstrual
discomfort. Beyond all these great benefits, body wraps can
improve one's self image and confidence.
Body Wraps and your Anti-Aging Program:
Body wraps have been known to help increase circulation and
soothe muscles
and joints, as well as assist in combating dehydration and
in the healing process. Body wraps can also eliminate puffy
areas on the skin's
surface, smooth the look of your complexion, and mineral
body wraps are particularly effective at reducing the look
of lines and wrinkles. And as of 2006, body wraps can even be covered by
insurance. A body wrap is classified as a “lower lumbar
compression wrap” making in even easier to make mineral
body wraps a key component in your anti-aging program.
