How To Apply The DIY Body Wrap
Here are 5 steps you should follow to correctly apply a DIY body wrap. Let’s check them out in detail.
1. Prepare Yourself
Choose a calm and clean area in the house where you can apply this body wrap. Spread a sheet on the floor as the lotion may make it a bit messy.
Or you can do all this body wrapping process in your shower, where it’s easier to clean.
2. Apply The Solution
Apply the solution on the problematic area, such as your tummy. Or you can apply it all over your body if you want. There’s nothing wrong with that, only great results overall.
You can start at your ankle and then work your way up. Grease your buttocks, thighs, belly, arms and chest, but make sure you have someone to help you with the wrapping, since I’m pretty sure you can’t do it by yourself.
The mixture should feel a bit warm on the skin, but not too hot.
If necessary, you can reheat the mixture before applying it, to make sure it’s not cold. This way you’ll be sure that the thermal effect takes place.
3. Wrap The Area
This is the part where you should wrap your belly (in this case) with plastic wraps. After that, use a bandage to hold things together.
If you want, you can tie the bandage with metal clips to keep it tight. Just make sure it’s not overtly tight and painful.
4. Wait
Leave the DIY body wrap anywhere between 40 and 60 minutes.
During this time, it is important to keep your body warm. You can move around a little, or you can perform any kind of low impactful exercises.
You can also cover yourself with a blanket to keep your body warm.
5. Rinse It Off
After an hour, rinse the wrap off. Take a shower and gently rub or massage the skin.
Useful Tips And Notes
Here are some useful tips you should keep in mind when trying to get rid of cellulite, detox your body or speed up your weight loss process through a DIY body wrap:
1. Goat’s milk, whole milk or witch hazel added to the lotion prove to be very useful in the skin exfoliation process.
2. Optional, you can add to the lotion about 2 drops of your favourite diuretic essential oil from this list: cypress, fennel, grapefruit, rosemary, juniper, geranium.
3. If using bentonite or seaweed in your homemade lotion, apply just a thin layer.
4. If you are finding it difficult to wrap your body on your own, you can ask any of your friend or family members for assistance.
5. Avoid all unhealthy substances prior to the wrap. Stay away from fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes at least 48 hours before you apply the wrap.
6. Drink plenty of water before applying this DIY body wrap. It will help to remove unwanted toxins from the body.
7. Use this treatment every day, for at least a week to see the best possible results.
