Every girl dreams of a beautiful and slender figure. To achieve the desired results, the fair sex often experiment with different ways to get rid of extra pounds. The most popular among the options for weight loss are body wraps. Such procedures can be performed even at home, without spending a lot of money and time.
Beneficial features
Wrap is a process that promotes body care and allows you to significantly reduce body volume. Such wellness measures will help eliminate the manifestations of hated cellulite, get rid of edema and improve the appearance of the skin as a whole. The prepared mask is applied to the legs and covered with a cling film on top.
Wraps are cold and hot.
These procedures differ in temperature and the effect of exposure to body cells. The hot method allows the vessels to open and increase blood flow, as a result of which the skin warms up, its pores open and, thus, excess toxins and fluid are removed. After the sessions, the volume of the legs is significantly reduced and cellulite disappears.
The cold version helps to narrow the vessels. Slag and excess fluid accumulated in the body due to this session are excreted through the organs of the urinary system. For warming, the body begins to break down fat deposits, which leads to a process of losing weight.
Each of these species has a multilateral beneficial effect:
- eliminates the "orange peel";
- promotes the release of toxins and toxins;
- rejuvenates the skin;
- reduces the size of problem areas of the body;
- starts the accelerated metabolic process.
Contraindications
Similar procedures should not be carried out by pregnant and lactating women. Also, wraps are excluded for people with allergies.
You can not use masks for weight loss with skin lesions, in the presence of tumors, cardiovascular diseases, varicose veins, hypertension and kidney diseases.
Features of the procedure
With any method of wrapping, the session must be carried out in a certain sequence.
- The first step is to take a shower, apply a scrub to the body and rub the skin with light massaging movements. Through this process, dead skin cells are removed. Such preliminary preparation for the main procedure will contribute to improved penetration of the active ingredients of the mask.
- After scrubbing, the prepared solution should be applied to the skin. When hot wrapping, the mixture must be heated to 38 degrees Celsius in a water bath. To conduct a cold procedure, you need to prepare a mask, which should have a temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius.
- When the mixture is completely applied to the legs, they need to be wrapped with cling film on top. If the wrap is of a hot type, then on top of the mask you need to wear warm clothes or wrap yourself in a plaid.
- At the end of the session, the applied composition is washed off under a warm shower. Then you can lubricate the skin with any anti-cellulite cream.
The cold wrap procedure lasts approximately one hour. The hot method suggests that the mixture should be left for 40 minutes. To achieve a full-fledged result, you need to complete a course of 12 sessions, while the procedure must be done 3 times a week. It is not recommended to leave masks for burning fat at night.
The mixture should be kept as long as indicated in the recipe.
If the mask stays on the body less time, then the procedure will be ineffective, and with an increase in the residence time of the mixture on the body, skin irritation may begin, and sometimes even a burn appears. Therefore, it is important to strictly adhere to the rules for preparing the recipe.
Wraps are best done in the evening. The skin is activated at this time, so the effectiveness of the mask will be much higher. When applying masks containing burning substances, it is not recommended to apply them on the stomach and inner thighs, because capillaries are located in these places close to the skin, and in this case unwanted edema or burns may appear. In addition, to enhance the effect of masks, one should not eat food at least one hour before the start of the wrapping procedure.
