body wrap
Therapeutic skin covering
A body wrap is a spa treatment in which the body is covered in a substance—mud, seaweed, herbs, or moisturizing cream—then wrapped tightly in cloth, plastic, or thermal blankets.
The wrapping promotes sweating and absorption, supposedly detoxifying the skin or reducing inches: I got a body wrap before the wedding.
