Chocolate wrap

The chocolate wrap is a relaxing treatment with a warm chocolate aroma that helps the skin of the body feel soft and cared for. It is one of the most popular closing stages of a spa programme — usually applied after a scrub.

How the chocolate wrap is applied

The mixture is spread over the body in an even layer, after which the guest lies quietly under a cover for a time; at that stage the warmth supports what the wrap does. The wrap is then rinsed off with warm water and a moisturiser is applied. The treatment is painless, and most guests describe it as the easiest part of their course. The time spent under the wrap is set by how the guest feels.

What the chocolate wrap does for the skin

A wrap is felt more on skin that has been cleared, which is why the order matters:

What the skin feels afterwards

• Softer, better moisturised skin
• A cared-for look
• A sense of ease from the aroma
• The skin settling after a scrub
• General rest for the body
• Improved skin tone
• Redness after a scrub settling
• Better spirits from the aromatherapy

Allergy and other restrictions

Where there is an open wound, an injury or an acute skin condition the treatment is postponed; if you are allergic to cocoa or chocolate-based products, say so in advance. The wrap is not a naftalan treatment but part of the spa programme, and it is not scheduled on a day with a naftalan application. The skin stays moist for a while afterwards, so no further exfoliation is planned straight after it.

The treatment is given in the hotel's spa area. The most popular order runs: kese and foam massage, coffee scrub, then the chocolate wrap — one block, within a single day. No waiting period is needed before going back up to the room to rest. It can also be placed in the evening hours of the spa timetable — a comfortable way to close the day.
