What is body wraps & scrubs?
Body scrubs and wraps are spa treatments for the skin of the whole body. A scrub uses salt, sugar or fine grains in oil to buff away dry skin; a wrap applies a mask of mud, seaweed, clay or rich cream and then cocoons the body in warm sheets or a foil blanket for 20 to 30 minutes while it works. Many spas combine both, sometimes finishing with a short massage or scalp treatment.
The honest result is softer, smoother, better-hydrated skin, which is why they are popular before holidays, weddings and in winter. Claims of inch loss or detoxification refer to temporary water loss and should not be expected to last. Rasul treatments, where clients apply mud to themselves in a steam chamber, are a related ritual found in some spas.
A scrub costs about £40 to £70 for 30 to 45 minutes, and a wrap or combined scrub-and-wrap £60 to £120 for 60 to 90 minutes. Avoid scrubs on freshly shaved, waxed or sunburned skin, and tell the therapist about allergies (seaweed wraps contain iodine and shellfish-derived products are sometimes used) or if you feel claustrophobic in a wrap.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a body wrap cost in the UK?
A wrap or combined scrub-and-wrap costs around £60 to £120 for 60 to 90 minutes. A body scrub alone is about £40 to £70.
Do body wraps help you lose weight?
No. Any inch loss is temporary water loss that returns within a day or so. Book a wrap for softer, hydrated skin and relaxation, which it does well.
Should I shave before a body scrub?
Not on the day. Shave or wax at least 24 hours before, as exfoliating freshly shaved skin stings and can cause irritation.
