Hello
I'm translating a ppt advertising treatments at a spa centre. I'm not sure if "cataplasme argile aux algues" is a face mask or a body wrap. Enveloppement is also used in the doc which I am taking to mean wrap,
thanks for any help,
Anne

Clay pack with seaweed
a suggestion.
Or possibly seaweed clay pack (see http://idioreview.wordpress.com/2008/07/05/ionic-seaweed-cla...
I think pack sounds better (less medicinal) than poultice or cataplasm in this context, and it covers the possibility of application to face or body (although I would imagine this is more for the body than the face).

"Underwater massage + spa water jetbath + pressure shower + clay pack treatment with essential oils or spa water."

The 'cataplasme' could be applied to the hair as well.

"Marine clay with all kinds of natural minerals removes dirt and smell from the scalp."

P.S. I agree with 'enveloppement' as 'wrap'

: Maybe it's all the scrubbing and rinsing necessary to remove the often VERY sticky mud pack that does the deep cleansing! No - they're nice, really. =)
