In this clip we're going to talk about why a salt glow treatment is ideal before a body wrap, or a clay wrap, or a seaweed wrap. The reason why it's ideal is because you've already started that lymphatic flow. We've exfoliated the skin, we've also re-mineralized it, we've taken off any dead skin cells, so when we do apply a product that we're going to wrap her with, whether it be a seaweed to detoxify or a clay to smooth and firm the skin. She's really going to absorb all the benefits of that product. She's going to feel a lot smoother and a lot more comfortable in the treatment as well because she's really going to be able to absorb that, it's not just going to be sitting on her. So, Lizzy, what would you like to do today, detoxify or smooth your skin? "I'm going to consider the smoothing process with the clay." Okay, so she's chosen the clay. So, this is going to be great for her because we've removed all of her dead skin cells and we're ready to really re-mineralize her skin and firm it up and tone it. So when she goes on vacation with her hubby, she'll be looking her best.
