One of the most effective ways to lose weight is, of course, diet. Such a diet limits the calorie intake. Some diets include the exclusion from the menu of all sweets containing “fast” carbohydrates. Such restrictions often lead to a decrease in mood and even the development of depressive disorders. In order to restore the nervous system, essential oils are used.

So, in the oil of grapefruit, sandalwood and ylang-ylang, there are substances that positively affect mood. The following oil-based products help to stabilize the functioning of nerves:

• roses;
• lavender;
• an orange.

Weight loss experts recommend using these products for aromatherapy. A small amount of the product can be added to the aroma lamp, and then enjoy the pleasant aroma with pleasure.

• In no case should you use undiluted concentrated essential oil inside. It must be diluted. Most often, ordinary water is used for this.
• Do not forget about the dosages. To improve the metabolic processes occurring in the body, it is enough to use just a couple of drops of essential oil. Exceeding the recommended dosages can cause the development of negative side effects of oils.

There can be several ways to use oil products. Weight loss experts recommend combining them. In their opinion, this will accelerate the achievement of the desired result. But also if one of the options did not fit, then in this case you can replace it with another. The main thing is not to give up in the process of losing weight, and also to maintain a positive attitude in spite of everything.

Nutritionists note that it is impossible to get rid of extra pounds just by carrying out body wraps, but you can still improve your figure a little. Already after 2-4 procedures, as a rule, the skin tone improves, and the signs of cellulite also decrease.

The mixture for wrapping necessarily contains a "base". To do this, select oil with a "neutral" composition. Such a product should not contain many active components that can provoke the appearance of adverse symptoms. Often, sunflower or olive oil is used as the base oil for this procedure. These products are fairly affordable and can be purchased at any store.

Weight loss experts recommend choosing a variety of oils as the base. For example, for people with signs of cellulite, sesame oil is suitable for the “base”. Olive oil can also be replaced with corn if desired.

There are wraps where sour-milk products are used as a base ingredient. At the same time, foods with medium fat content are recommended. So, for carrying out a wrapping it is completely unnecessary to buy low-fat kefir. For this procedure, you can use any kefir, as well as sour cream.

You can combine essential oils not only with fermented milk products and base oils. To improve the figure, you can prepare a mixture that contains bee honey and essential oil. It is worth noting that people with delicate sensitive skin should not make such honey wraps. After such procedures, severe irritation may appear on it. It is better to choose honey procedures for people who have skin prone to the appearance of various injuries and rashes.

Choose body wraps for weight loss is recommended to people who have enough time for this procedure.In order for all the plant components contained in the essential oils to work, it takes quite a lot of time. Usually one such procedure for the body lasts 35-40 minutes. To improve your mood during wrapping, you can listen to your favorite music or watch some interesting series.

Wrapping with effective oils is pretty easy. A hygienic shower is recommended first. This stage is mandatory, since any mixture must be applied to previously cleansed skin. After taking a shower, a small amount of essential oil, such as cypress, should be applied to the skin.

In order for the oil to spread better on the skin, it must first be mixed with a “base”, which can be used as fermented milk products or vegetable oils. After applying the oil mixture, you need to do a light self-massage. This will help to better distribute products throughout the body. Massage is recommended for several minutes. After that, the problem area of ​​the body is wrapped with plastic wrap.

Wrap the anatomical area several times. Next, you need to wear warm clothes. For example, if the upper thighs are the problem area, then you need to wear warm pants or warm leggings. If the wrap affects the abdomen, then a T-shirt is put on, and then a warm jacket. The best warming effect can be achieved by using a blanket. To do this, first put on warm clothes over yourself, and then lie down in bed and take cover with a warm blanket.

At the end of the procedure, all clothing and plastic film from the body must be removed, and then re-take a shower. This is necessary in order to wash off the remnants of oil products from the skin. The course of such home care should include 10-12 procedures. During this time, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the visual signs of cellulite, as well as improving the figure as a whole.

If there is no time for wrapping, then in this case you can use the "secret" method, which is used by some models. To improve skin tone and reduce the symptoms of cellulite, they use oil products during normal body care. So, they add a couple of drops of citrus oil to the shower gel during washing, and then intensively rub the mixture onto the body. To improve the effect, it is recommended to use a hard washcloth. Such intense rubbing will help improve blood circulation to the areas that are being treated. This helps to improve skin tone, and also prevents the appearance of an “orange peel”.

Warm water not only helps to relax, but can also improve the figure. Aromatic baths with the addition of various oil products are a good method to reduce the visual signs of cellulite. This method is suitable for many, since it does not require many ingredients, and at the same time it brings a lot of pleasure.

Mixtures for conducting aromatic baths to improve the shape can be different. To prepare one of them, you need to mix 6 drops of juniper and rosemary oils. And also in the mixture you need to add 8 drops of citrus oil (you can take lemon or grapefruit). Fatty milk is recommended as a basic component.

Making an aromatic bath is quite simple. First, you need to pour warm water into it, and only then - cooked butter-milk mixture. It is very important to thoroughly dissolve the mixture in water. The duration of one such procedure should be 35 minutes. After this, you need to take a shower to remove all residual oil products from the skin. For the best effect during washing, you can rub the problem areas with a hard washcloth.

Scrubbing problem areas of the body helps improve skin tone and reduce the “orange peel”. The use of scrub also helps to accelerate the metabolic processes that occur in the skin. Against the background of the use of such a cosmetic product, the skin becomes smoother and more even.

In order to make a scrub at home, you can use different essential oils, such as orange. To make such a cosmetic product is quite simple. To do this, mix a little ground coffee, a few drops of an essential oil product, and then dilute everything with a shower gel.

It should be noted that it is impossible to apply concentrated oil products containing many plant components directly to the skin. This can lead to a chemical burn of the skin, which will require treatment. And also when treating the skin with concentrated essential oils, the likelihood of allergic rashes increases. In order to avoid the appearance of such adverse symptoms, other components are used for wrapping, in addition to oils.

If there is an individual intolerance to a product, it cannot be used. It also limits the use of essential oils for people who are allergic to a particular product. For example, if a person has an allergic pathology, and his body reacts poorly to citrus fruits, then he should refuse to use orange or grapefruit oil.

Many people say that essential oils helped them improve their shape. There are many positive reviews about citrus oils. Body wraps and massages with these oil products have helped many obese people improve their shape.

But there are also negative reviews. Some note that even after a course of using this or that essential oil, they did not notice any positive result. At the same time, they note that only through the use of such oil products they were not able to get rid of extra centimeters on the body.
