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.

The West End is home to Victorian swimming and Turkish baths that have run as members' clubs for well over a century, alongside the city's largest concentration of yoga studios, holistic practitioners and community wellbeing projects around Byres Road. Merchant City has the polished day spas and the hotel thermal suites, strong on facials and spa days for celebrations. Finnieston has grown alongside its restaurants and now has a social sauna culture of its own, with cold plunges and Sunday sessions that book out.
