Body wraps are a type of spa treatment that can help your skin look and feel radiant, and even smooth out cellulite. During a body wrap treatment, a spa beautician (aesthetician) will often first apply an herbal paste, mineral-rich mud or soothing cream to your arms, legs, and torso. Once you’re lathered, you’ll be wrapped neck to toes with cotton mylar bandages or plastic film, which can help lift dirt, toxins and excess water from your skin.1
