In this clip, I'm going to talk about different types of body wraps. There are a number of different body wraps to choose from. Some use mud, some use clay, some use sea weed. This is, our sea weed gel, and unlike other ones, it doesn't have a nasty sea smell, or smell like fish. You can smell, Lizzy, if you want. Do you like that? It's lovely. This is going to be great for detoxifying and also slimming. But I do want to stress that anybody with an iodine or shell fish allergy should not book this treatment because they could have a reaction, and that's not good. If you do have that sort of allergy, a great way to go is a clay wrap. Here, at Oasis, we do a mineral clay wrap, and this one is a Smithsonite balm, great for purifying the skin. What we do is, we mix it with our pink clay, and we form a paste and apply it to the body. We also have a purifying wrap, so if you're feeling, you know, a little toxic, if you had a long weekend, this is a great way to go. And this is Vrodocrosite balm, and it also smells delicious. Yum.
