Some body wraps help with
hydration, while others help remove
excess moisture from the skin. It is a
false perception that body wraps are an
effective way to lose weight: the natural
cleansing process that occurs with body
wrapping can trigger inch loss, but not
weight loss. While tracking inch loss
with measurements may be important to
some clients, the primary focus of these
treatments should always be about how
one's skin and body feel afterward.
Research the Wrap
Ensuring you have the proper skills to
perform wrap services is essential. Doing
your research to find which types of body
wraps fit your skin care practice is a good
first step.
