I've put together the information on this site based
on my own experimentation with making wraps at home and also having
professional wraps at a wrapping salon. Having wraps done professionally
can be quite expensive and I have found that doing my own wraps at home is
an affordable substitute. You can determine the effectiveness of your
treatment by taking measurements before and after and by observing for
improvements in skin tone and appearance.
You most likely will not notice a difference on the
scales unless you are dieting also. I was absolutely amazed after my first
wrapping experience. I lost several inches that first session! I was so
impressed I continued to have weekly professional wrapping but the cost was
hard for me to justify so I began doing my own wrapping at home and found
the results to be just as good.
So how does wrapping work? This is how it was
explained to me at the salon. Our bodies have a set number of fat cells.
When we gain weight, we don't grow more fat cells, instead the fat cells we
already have just swell and fill with toxins and fluids. And when we lose
weight we don't actually lose any fat cells, instead our cells simply shrink
down to a smaller size. The purpose of wrapping is to draw toxins out of
the fat cells so the cells become smaller. A person that has looser
'blubbery' type fat is supposed to respond more rapidly and lose inches
faster than someone who has a more solidly packed fat build.
Before doing your wrap you should take measurements and
compare your results with after your treatment. Take measurements in
several places if you are doing a full body wrap. For example you should
measure your neck, upper arm, lower arm, bust, midsection, over tummy, over
hips, upper thigh, mid thigh, calf, ankle, etc. Also note and compare your
skin tone and appearance of stretch marks, cellulite, and blemishes before
and after. You may find that one type of wrap is more effective for the
results you are trying to achieve. Be aware though that it is normal to
have somewhat drier than normal skin for 2-3 days after your wrap.
You should be able to do wraps as often as you like
depending on how your skin reacts to the recipes. I don't have sensitive
skin so I have not encountered any problems, but if your skin is sensitive
you should do a test area first. The clay wrap might cause your skin to be
red for awhile after you remove it. So when doing clay or using ingredients
you have never used before you should test on your inner arm first and be
cautious when using the solutions on your facial skin. Wrapping itself
should pose no problem. In fact the wrapping salons will do multiple
mineral wraps in one day in emergency situations (such as needing to fit
into a dress at the last minute) Once a week should be appropriate for a
full body wrap. You may want to spot wrap your problem areas more often.
