Cellulite Body Wraps for Home
Fat Reduction, Cellulite Treatment with At Home Body Wraps
Around 90% of women have cellulite – cells of fat trapped within the inner layer of the skin, often making the skin appear
unsightly, with a spongy, puckered and uneven appearance.
Many of us have tried diets and exercise, with varying degrees of success; however body wraps and strong cellulite reduction creams paired with your own ace-bandage style wrap are becoming more and more popular as a method of losing weight and ridding the body of toxins. And one of the best things about body wraps is that they can even be applied in the privacy of your own home!
Body wraps were first offered by spas as a method of firming and tightening the skin, but body wrapping has since become more popular, both as an all-over cure and an effective way to lose inches. Many spas still offer body wrapping, often along with other services intended to complement the treatment, such as an exfoliation scrub, a mud mask, an oil massage and various other treatments designed to relieve stress.
A body wrap is literally what it sounds like – a special material is wrapped around the body after having lotion or cream applied to the skin. Body wraps are generally made of plastic or rubber and come in different shapes and sizes. They can either cover the entire body or a specific area, such as the stomach.
The wrapped material and the herbal detoxification ingredients in the Deluxe Slimming Cellulite Reduction Body Wrap work by causing excess fat to compress and minimize. Some body wraps use seaweed or an elastic cloth with minerals soaked into the fabric, which then dries once it is wrapped around the body.
Home body wrap kits such as the ones we’ve reviewed are designed to be used at home are fairly straightforward to use. They generally come with enough stretch wrap material for several sessions, a measuring guide and instructions for use.
Some kits may also contain various cellulite reduction lotions or creams (I suggest buying this potent cellulite reduction cream and wrapping yourself in ace bandages for 45 minutes) that should be applied as part of the treatment and some home body wrap kits contain such intriguing sounding natural ingredients as Dead Sea salt, seaweed clay, ginger root powder and blue green algae.
If you are using a home body wrap for cellulite reduction in your home, you should allow a total of about ninety minutes for the body wrap procedure – about half this time will be spent in applying and removing the body wrap.
You should take a shower before you apply the wrap, but don’t apply any oil or lotion unless instructed – the wrap is most effective when applied against the bare skin. Don’t take a shower for at least eight hours after removing the wrap. And you should plan on having at least six wrap sessions to achieve the best results – try to average one or two sessions a week.
Body wraps aren’t painful or uncomfortable, although some people tend to feel cold while using them. It’s therefore recommended to have a warm solution on hand, or to sit in a warmer part of the house while undergoing the treatment.
And to get the full benefit of the wrap, you should stay active during the wrap session, rather than just lie down and rest – this will help to increase circulation and allow the toxins to be more effectively removed.
Cellulite body wraps have several advantages. It’s certainly a lot less expensive to use a home body wrap kit, rather than pay for the services of a spa. Body wrapping sessions in a spa generally cost anything from between $100 and $300; whereas a typical home body wrap kit might cost between $50 and $100, and contain enough material for up to six sessions. It’s become easy and commonplace to shop for body wrap kits on line, and to compare products and prices.
Apart from helping with weight loss and removing toxins from the skin, body wraps also improve the texture of the skin and generally soften the skin. And one of the biggest advantages of body wraps is their ability to successfully remove cellulite from the body. There is also some evidence that using a body wrap regularly can help to alleviate various other symptoms such as arthritis, as well as help cure such ailments as corns, warts and cracked skin.
Although more women tend to use them, men can benefit from using a body wrap as well as women – especially around the tummy area. Some experts claim that the overall experience helps to reduce stress and generally improve health and many people testify that the body wrap experience is generally pleasant and relaxing – regardless of whether they lose weight or not. You may find – as others have done – that you sleep better, and generally have more energy.
So, if you have tried everything else with no success – consider trying a body wrap to remove that cellulite. A body wrap may not be for everyone – women who are pregnant or lactating should not use a body wrap – and you should always ask your physician first. But most people who use a body wrap maintain that it’s a comfortable, inexpensive and effective way to lose weight.
