For optimal results, guests are encouraged to shower before the treatment and refrain from using soap when showering immediately after the treatment has been performed.

Guests commonly notice that their skin has a smoother and tighter appearance immediately following the treatment. Many spas recommend a regimen of wraps to achieve optimal results. MudMud wraps are known for increasing circulation and removing toxins from the skin, thereby tightening and firming skin texture. Mud is applied to the entire body and is then removed with hot towels after a period that allows the nutrients in the mud to be absorbed by the skin. For maximum benefits, spas often recommend an exfoliating shower or body polish as a precursor to the mud wrap. Muscle relaxation and pain relief are additional benefits that have been associated with the mud body wrap.
