After that you will wrap up in plastic or any other material which will promote blood circulation, boost your immune system, and make you sweat.
Getting the Most Out of Your Homemade Body Wraps
Let’s be realistic here. If you want to see the results that you desire you must also do a few things listed below to help you get to your goal. You can’t wrap your body and continue following the same old routine that might of given you that unsightly blemish that you want to get rid of. Here are a few body wrap suggestions to help you get that bulge-free body you desire.
1. 100% Organic Ingredients
If you want to see inches come off then you must use 100% organic ingredients only or else your wasting your time and these cellulite-busting, fat-fighting, skin-glowing, detoxifying recipes wont do you any good.
2. Commercial Brand Body Wrap Kits
Don’t be tempted by these premade kits that tend to have harsh hormone changing synthetic chemicals and are made in a lab when you can use these all natural healthy-safe ingredients and get more bang for you buck.
3. Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate
Dry brushing before you wrap not only Stimulates Your Lymphatic System, it Exfoliates, Increases Circulation, Reduces Cellulite, reduces Stress, reduces water retention and Improve Digestion and Kidney Function along with being Invigorating. You may even become “addicted” to dry skin brushing because it simply feels so fantastic. Along with glowing and tightening the skin.
“The lymphatic system is responsible for collecting, transporting to the blood, and eliminating the waste our cells produce,” “If the lymphatic system is congested, it can lead to a build-up of toxins, causing inflammation and illness. Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system as it stimulates and invigorates the skin.”
After you exfoliate you take quick steamy hot shower and scrub and buff at that dead, dry, flaky skin to reveal silky soft smoothness. Allow the steam to help open your pores so that your high-quality, organic ingredient body wrap sinks in to the deepest layers of your skin.
How do dry brush? Start at your feet and brush upward towards the heart. Use firm, small strokes upwards, or work in a circular motion. For the stomach, work in a counterclockwise pattern. Harsh exfoliation is never the point; be sure not to press too hard, or use too-stiff of a brush. “Any kind of brushing or exfoliation should be gentle and should never break the skin.”
4. Fight Fat with Water
Drinking water makes your skin glow and is important for overall good health because water aids in digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion. … And skin cells, like any other cell in the body, are made up of water. Without water, the organs will certainly not function properly or at their best also staying properly hydrated will help shrink your fat cells and remove fat from them.
5. Exercise
Exercise is one of the most important parts of keeping your body at a healthy weight. Your job isnt done once you take off that wrap. Exercise will help you in a battle to shed extra weight if you need to and it lowers the risk of some diseases even if you dont need to lose any weight.
6. Keep at it
if you want this to work , don’t try a few sessions, get bored and quit. You should maintain a consistent body wrapping routine and stick to it for permanent results.
7. Be Realistic
Have fun with this. Life is to short to stress and remember that it’s a slow and gradual process. So, don’t expect overnight results.
8. Use PVC free plastic wrap
The dangers of wrapping your stomach in plastic don’t just stop there. Cling wrap used for wrapping the stomach is made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which has been described as one of the most dangerous consumer products. It leaches harmful substances which have been linked to negative effects on the liver, spleen, kidneys, bone formation and body weight. PVC is also linked to cancer. Some wraps are dipped in mineral products, some of which may contain aluminum, which is linked to Alzheimer’s. In addition, you may be allergic to some of the ingredients used in the wrap.

I really like the velcro on the ends. No more holding one side and completing a wrap to hold the end in place only to have it pop off. These hold securely and make getting started effortless. If anything, it holds too well. These body wraps are latex free, 6 Inches wide x 15 Feet long (15 feet when stretched),Velcro Closure on Both Ends No Metal Clips, Latex Free, Durable and most important they are Washable and Reusable. ( order yours here)
Tips
- Soak every two days in a 1 cup Epsom salt, 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup bentonite clay tub to help flush out the accumulated toxins.
- Drink plenty of water before and after using the body wrap to help flush out the toxins from your body. Keep a glass of water handy while you’re using the wrap in case you need to hydrate.
- Make sure the room you’re in while using the wrap is warm. This will prevent the wrap from losing heat too fast, and it will help you to remain warm.
- Use twice wrap once a week for about six weeks, then once a month thereafter for maintenance.
- Use wrapping cloths specifically designed for use with body wraps or PVC free plastic wrap.
- Wrapping your body can be tricky. If you feel comfortable, ask for the help of a friend when it’s time to wrap.
