Keep Your Summer Figure with Body Wraps


As we soon Approach the fall festive season there's always the dreaded worry of weight gain. We work so hard all spring to get that amazing summer figure so why toss all that work down the drain because you want a few extra slices of turkey? Well here at Organic Rose we have a solution that will let you cook your pumpkin pie and eat it to. How you ask? With Body Wraps.

Body wraps have been used for centuries as a proven method of removing toxins and excess fat from the body. The process starts by using dry brushing on the entire body starting from the feet, and ending with the hands. This method helps to stimulate the blood cells and help with proper circulation to aid in the removal of toxins . Next we use an organic based honey and almond scrub, mixed with yogurt. The honey acts, as a natural moisturizer for the skin. The Almond grannuals  create a form of exfoliation to aid in the removal of dead skin. Why the extra exfoliation in the body you ask? Being that the skin on the body is much thicker then the skin on the face, we find that the body needs extra exfoliation to remove the build up of dead skin. Yogurt is next in our body cleansing process the yogurt is used for its natural enzymes, which help create a lighting, and brightening effect on the skin. 

After the skin has been cleansed and exfoliated we apply an herbal based  warming serum. This allows the body to create its own heat and help speed up the removal of toxins. Next a unique formula combines a proven combination of plant and algae extracts with high concentrations of caffeine, essential oils and thermal agents that help our bodies largest eliminating system - our skin- to release the toxins trapped below the surface and between subcutaneous fat cells. This produces an immediate visible effect as inches are lost, skin is toned and tightens, and cellulite is reduced to smooth out that cottage cheese look we've all come to know - but not love. 

The body is then wrapped in thermal blankets, to maintain the heat within the skin. The guest sit wrapped for approximately 30 mins. The total timing of the complete body wrap is at-least an hour and 1/2. Once timing is up your Esthetician will remove the thermal sheets and apply warm towels to remove the excess serums. We like to add a custom blend of organic Shea butter, and lavender as a body moisturizer to complete the treatment.  Clients have said to lose record amounts of inches from as little as 6 inches in a single treatment to over inches done on a consecutive basis. So how many times can one have this done? We here at Organic Rose Skin Care Center ask our guest to come in for weekly wrap treatments for best inch loss effects, and at least once a month as a detox treatment.
