The awesome thing about body wraps is that they are fun to
apply, and really work. You can realistically lose 10 or more inches
after only one weight loss body wrap, and virtually eliminate cellulite after a
cellulite wrap.
FIRST
Exfoliate the skin to prepare for optimum absorption of wrap.
Using a Loofah Brush, scrub upwards and outward using Pure Aloe Vera as a natural cleanser. DO NOT USE BAR SOAP OR SOAP BODY CLEANSERS because the soapy film will impede the penetration of the natural ingredients and release of toxins.
SECOND
Clay is a little
messy, but if your goal is to lose inches then it is a must.
HOMEMADE SLIMMING BODY WRAP
1 Cup of bentonite or green clay
1/4 Cup Sea Salt
2 Tsp. Olive Oil
2 Cups Sea Salt
1 Tsp. Peppermint Oil
2 Cups of Spring Water
Plastic Wrap or White Sheet torn into strips about 5 inches wide and 5 feet long
Basin of warm Spring Water if you are using a sheet
THIRD
Let's do it!
- Make sea water by
mixing the sea salt in
the spring water. Add the clay to make a paste. Add the olive oil and peppermint oil. When all
mixed together, additional spring water may be added to get it to the proper
consistency.
- Place your wrapping
strips in the basin of warm water unless you are using plastic wrap.
- Take a long, warm
shower to open your pores so the wrapping solution can seep in. Leave the
shower running while you apply the wrap to help keep your pores open.
- Apply the solution to
whatever part of your body you
are wrapping. Wrap in an upward direction with the strips. If you are using the
sheet, you may want to wrap a second dry layer on top.
Begin to apply the wraps to your body, starting from the ankles upwards. Wrap slowly, making sure that the body wraps are tight, but not so tight that they hinder circulation.
Apply a robe, blanket, or wear a sauna suit. Now, just lay down
and rest for 30 minutes. Put on some relaxing music. Set your alarm clock in
case you fall asleep.
Remove the strips and
shower using lukewarm water. Only shower with lukewarm water for a couple of
days so your pores stay closed to allow the wrap to work.
Apply a post body wrap moisturizer to your skin after your shower or bath. This will make your skin feel silky smooth.
Okay it's wrap. Let's top it off with a nice cold glass of COCONUT WATER
VERY IMPORTANT
Take a very warm
shower on the third day to open your pores and the accumulated toxins will be
released.
If you are doing this wrap during the winter months, make sure you cover up securely because your pores will be open and you can make yourself susceptible to catching a cold.
Fat is not heavy, so you may notice only a pound or weigh loss, and then only after you have flushed your body with water.
Our bodies are God's handiwork. Take care of yours!
Love,
Michele
