Body wraps: Definition, types and benefits

Our skin protects us from the outside world and also reflects how we feel inside, which is why it deserves the best care.

To help you pamper yourself and increase your well-being, at Balneario de Fitero we offer a wide variety of beauty treatments for the body. Among the most comprehensive are body wraps. Have you heard of them? 

In this article, we explain what body wraps are, what types there are, and what the main benefits they can offer you are.

What are body wraps?

Body wraps are beauty and wellness treatments that involve applying an active substance, such as seaweed, mud, moisturising ingredients or natural extracts, to the skin and wrapping it to enhance its effects.

During the session, the body remains covered and at rest, which promotes the absorption of the active ingredients and generates a very deep relaxing effect. 

Therefore, in addition to improving the appearance of your skin, body wraps help you to switch off and take care of yourself holistically.

Body wraps at spas and health resorts

Body wraps at spas and health resorts go one step further. In these settings, the treatment is usually part of a complete wellness ritual, with selected products and professional techniques that seek to balance body and mind.

This is precisely what happens at Balneario de Fitero: here, our body wrap sessions are part of a comprehensive experience that includes various treatments and circuits so that you can benefit, for example, from the magnificent properties of our waters in a spectacular natural setting. 

Types of body wraps at Balneario de Fitero

At Balneario de Fitero, we offer different types of body wraps designed to care for the skin and promote physical and mental wellbeing. Each one combines natural ingredients and professional techniques to offer you a sensory and therapeutic experience:

Aloe Volcano

This body wrap has a detoxifying and revitalising effect. Thanks to its draining and remineralising properties, it helps to stimulate the skin, improve its appearance and provide a pleasant feeling of lightness.

Indian Ritual

A deeply relaxing treatment inspired by Eastern rituals. Its exotic ingredients nourish and moisturise the skin while promoting relaxation and balance between body and mind.

Citrus

This body wrap stands out for its revitalising and refreshing effect. Citrus extracts help to tone the skin, brighten the complexion and provide a very pleasant energising sensation.

Clay therapy with red clay

In addition to body wraps, at the spa you can also enjoy clay therapy with red clay, a treatment highly valued for its purifying and remineralising properties. Clay helps to deeply cleanse the skin, promotes the elimination of impurities and helps to relax the muscles, providing a pleasant feeling of well-being.

Benefits of body wraps

The benefits of body wraps go far beyond aesthetic care. Depending on the type of product we use, they can bring visible improvements to the skin, yes, but also a noticeable increase in your overall well-being.

Aesthetic benefits of body wraps

  • They improve skin hydration and softness.
  • They help improve skin appearance and texture.
  • They promote more luminous and well-cared-for skin.
  • They contribute to a firmer and more revitalised feeling of the skin.

Although many people wonder whether body wraps help with weight loss, it is important to clarify that they are not a treatment for weight loss: they are a cosmetic and wellness supplement.

Relaxing and therapeutic benefits

  • They induce a deep state of physical and mental relaxation.
  • They help release muscle tension.
  • They promote disconnection and reduce stress.
  • They provide a lasting feeling of rest and well-being.

Body wrap protocol

The sessions for this treatment are usually based on the same steps, which make up the so-called body wrap protocol:

  1. First, the skin is cleansed and prepared, sometimes with a prior exfoliation.
  2. Next, the chosen product is applied to the body.
  3. The body is then wrapped and a relaxation period is established.
  4. Finally, the product is removed and the skin is moisturised.

A body wrap session at Balneario de Fitero lasts 60 minutes. Of course, to ensure it is 100% safe and your skin tolerates it without any problems, it must always be performed by a professional using the appropriate products. If you come to Fitero, this is more than guaranteed. You will have nothing to worry about!

Compared to other spa body treatments, wraps stand out for their comprehensive nature: they care for the skin, promote relaxation and are enjoyed as an authentic wellness ritual. That is why they are one of your best options at our Balneario in Navarre.

BAĂ‘OS DE FITERO S.A. quiere dar un paso mĂ¡s y ahora apuesta, a parte de la calidad, tambiĂ©n por las energĂ­as renovables, ya que para la producciĂ³n de sus productos emplea una gran cantidad de energĂ­a elĂ©ctrica.

Para dar cumplimiento a este compromiso medioambiental se ha realizado una instalaciĂ³n fotovoltaica para autoconsumo de 189,98 kWp. El objetivo principal del sistema solar fotovoltaico es el de generar energĂ­a en C/ Extramuros, s/n, 31593 Fitero (Navarra). La energĂ­a fotovoltaica es una energĂ­a limpia que no produce emisiones de Gases Electo Invernadero (GE, del que el sector energĂ©tico es responsable de mĂ¡s de dos terceras partes). Por todo esto es justo asegurar que esta tecnologĂ­a contribuye activamente al cambio del modelo energĂ©tico haciĂ©ndolo mĂ¡s eficiente y sostenible. Esta actuaciĂ³n se ha realizado gracias al apoyo pĂºblico de los Fondos de la UniĂ³n Europea con la aceptaciĂ³n de la ayuda dentro de la Primera Convocatoria de Ayudas a inversiĂ³n en instalaciones de generaciĂ³n de energĂ­a elĂ©ctrica con fuentes de energĂ­a renovable en la Comunidad AutĂ³noma de Navarra cofinanciadas con Fondos Next Generation, que ha proporcionado una ayuda con un importe de 59.152,28 €.
