They are sometimes known colloquially as “sauna suits,” and for the most part this is a relatively accurate way of describing how they work; the wrap becomes like a unique, form-fitting sauna tailor made for your body.

Trim and Tone Body Wrap

One of the most popular body wrap treatments at The Sanctuary Covent Garden Day Spa is the Trim and Tone Body Wrap.

As its name suggests, the wrap’s aim is to tone the body – specifically the tummy and thighs – as well as helping with such common body woes such as cellulite and water retention.

The wrap also has other benefits such as encouraging lymphatic drainage, stimulating circulation and aiding in flushing toxins from the body.

Do body wraps work?

As with any treatment, the results can vary from person to person.

The immediate slimming effects of body wraps are primarily due to the sweating caused by the sauna-like wrap (and as such it also pays to have some water on hand so as to avoid getting dehydrated).  However, body wraps can also help to detoxify, firm and tone the skin.

If you want to try doing a body wrap at home then why not take a look at the Trim and Tone Body Wrap kit?

First, the Sanctuary marketing team spend hours pondering over the idea for the short film and a script.  Can we make this informative enough to help people with their own wrap’s without making it too long and boring?   Plus – we want a model who looks like they could benefit from the wrap – so not too skinny!  We chose one of our very own therapists from the Spa, Carrie, who was more than happy to start her film career for The Sanctuary!  So script written, camera crew chosen – we then found a house to film in.

On the day of the shoot, we walk the crew around the house to choose which bathroom we’re going to use for the filming.

Filming a basin has never been so exciting!  Is the lighting right?  Can we get it to smile just a little?

Question:
How many people can you cram into one bathroom?

Answer:
As many as you need!!

We have to select a pretty outfit for our model to wear while carrying out her treatment.

Our ‘Style Guru’ lays out the gorgeous undies she’s bought for Carrie to wear…

Let the filming begin; Carrie begins to unwrap her bandages…  This could be the humble beginnings of a lucrative film career!

‘Creative Directors’ Emma Keyworth (Senior Marketing Manager) and Louise Perry (Senior Product Manager) with Art Director Nick watch all the action on the monitor. Every detail is scrutinised…but it really is so easy – Carrie gets it in one take!

‘Wish I had a TV like that in my bedroom!’

Louise Perry gives Carrie some super tips for spreading the clay evenly over her thighs. ‘It really is so simple, the clay is fairly soft so it just spreads like butter’

‘Gosh it spreads really easily and isn’t messy at all’ says our model Carrie.

Lunch Arrives – time for a deliciously welcome break.  The team at The Sanctuary  love this part of the day!

Having left the clay on for an hour, it’s now time for the shower scene to rinse off!!

Oh dear!  Carrie has turned on the overhead shower instead of the hand held hose – and is slightly soaked…

Genevieve steps in with the hairdryer and saves the day! Camera man and Art Director Nick look on bemused…

Three ‘creative director’s’ at work…….but the action is ‘behind you’…!

Carrie is measuring her thighs for that final total cm loss…..the suspense builds…

‘Wow’ the results of this new Sanctuary Trim & Tone Body Wrap are amazing! – I’ve lost a total of 7cm off my thighs…’

Our recently launched Trim & Tone Body Wrap has had phenomenal success since it launched, appearing on both ITV’s This Morning and in the News of the Worlds Fabulous magazine it received rave reviews whereby independent trials were carried out against other leading brands and women lost up to 8.5cm!

If you’re looking to reduce cellulite, look no further, our Sculpting Anti-Cellulite Treatment is infused with powerful actives which in turn with massage helps to break down fatty deposits, encourage circulation and lymphatic drainage to leave skin smoother, firmer with a visible reduction in cellulite.

If your skin is suffering during the winter months, try our new Microdermabrasion Polish which has micro-silicates from fossilised seashells to reduce the appearance and texture of micro-bumps, leaving you with gloriously smooth skin.

Check out our top tips for getting in shape in January:

1. Drink more water – our bodies are made up of 60% water so it’s important to keep them hydrated. Not even the most expensive beauty creams will keep wrinkles at bay if your skin is dehydrated.

2. Detox from the inside out – Eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Replace one ‘baddie’ food group for a good one every day and you’ll soon reap the rewards.

3. Give your body an overhaul – covering up most of our bodies during the winter months means many of us ‘hibernate’ our bodies, neglecting to exfoliate and moisturise until the summer. Choose a body exfoliator to slough away dead skin cells and a rich moisturiser to hydrate dry, chapped skin.

4. Exercise – if the thought of pounding the streets in seriously tight Lycra doesn’t tickle your fancy, invest in a work-out DVD and aim to do at least 30 minutes every day.

5. Invest in your body – in order to look good, you need to feel good so take some out for a little pampering. If you haven’t the time or budget for a full spa day, make it your New Years resolution to go for a monthly spa treatment.

So hopefully with the use of our new Professional range we’ve helped make January a little easier. To make things even easier we’re offering a FREE Microdermabrasion Polish with every purchase of our Trim & Tone Body Wrap. Buy yours now!
