Aloe vera, an ingredient in body wraps, comes from an aloe plant.
A body wrap consists of ingredients being spread all over the person's body. The person is then tightly wrapped for better penetration of these ingredients on the skin. Different ingredients can be used in these wraps, which can help with tightening of the skin, better circulation, blood pressure, digestion, elimination/prevention of cellulite and other health benefits.
