Body wraps are a cosmetic procedure, the goal of which is to create a greenhouse effect on problem areas of the body using special wrapping clothing or special wrapping material. Body wraps are usually a professional procedure done at day spas, but they can also be done at home.

How do body wraps work for fat loss?

The aim of the procedure is that the skin is nourished with all the necessary substances contained in the enveloping mixture. Pores are narrowed and the skin texture is slightly smoothed. The wrap favors the reabsorption of cellulite plaques, provides elasticity and smoothness to the skin, reduces volume and promotes blood circulation.

Preparation for body wraps

• Cleanse the skin with an exfoliating or peeling with sea salt or seaweed extracts. You can massage problem areas with a scrub.

• Wrapping mix should be smooth and elastic; otherwise, you will not be able to apply it on the skin.

• The mixture is applied in a thick or thin layer on problem areas: thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Wrap the treated areas with a plastic film so that it heats up and better absorbs the microelements contained in the mixture or prepared product. The film will retain heat and will not allow the product to dry out. Then wrap yourself in a blanket or sleeping bag, if you have one. Some body wraps require you to move.

• When the wrapping time is over, wash off the remains of the wrap in the shower and then you can take a bath with sea salt and apply an anti-cellulite cream or toner.

• The home wraps course should include 5 to 10 more procedures. It is best to repeat them every other day or as directed.

• If you experience contraindications, consult your doctor.

Types of Body Wraps

1. Body wraps for weight loss
