Yes.

She means, you cannot state the wrap is for weight reduction or anything to improve the quality of the skin.

You could call it a "relaxation wrap" or "detox wrap" or "energizing wrap"

same as not performing facials. We can do a facial massage tho.

You can use anything you want as long as it is being used as a lubricant.

You can also use water in all its forms.

lilhands and Greatttlakes,
I'd appreciate it if you could back up statements with appropriate statutes or codes. Failing that, could you at least mention where you are attending school? I'm very interested in this subject as well.

This is from the FAQ section of the drl for massage therapists.

http://drl.wi.gov/prof/mass/faq.htm

Q. May a massage therapist or bodyworker perform body wraps?

A. No. Regardless of whether a massage therapist or bodyworker is a state certificate holder or not; and whether a bodywrap technique is learned at a school or seminar, bodywraps are within the protected practice of Barber/Cosmetology Practice, (including aestheticians). Bodywraps are not the manipulation of soft tissue of humans

.

Note- Also within the protected practice of Barber/Cosmetology Practice are techniques or applications involving the skin which exfoliate, tone, tighten, or are intended to beautify.
