These days body wraps are all rage. You may even have seen television commercials advertising the wonderful weight loss benefits of these procedures. Women come to the spa in the morning and leave in an hour, suddenly three sizes of the dress are smaller and completely free from cellulite!
What is body wrapping?
Body wrapping, also known as body cocoon, or body mask, is a non-surgical treatment performed at a spa or DIY home treatment created to improve the health and appearance of the skin, and / pr reduces body size. A nourishing oil or mineral-fortified formula is applied to the final guest and body before they are wrapped in cotton, mylar or plastic wrap. It helps to remove dirt, toxins and excess water from the skin.
While most wrappers are performed all over the body (minus the face and genital area), some of them, such as cellulite and bust wraps, are applicable only to certain areas.
For wrapping garden varieties, you lie on a massage table and rub yourself with an exfoliating scrub, in any variety that you choose from the menu (most resorts offer several options). After you rinse the shower, the therapist applies the wrapping ingredients (possibly seaweed, mud, clay or herbal or fruit product) to your body, covering it with a layer of plastic wrap. When you're done, you can be covered with sheets, towels and heat blankets. And then you will be left alone to relax and sweat for 30 minutes to one hour.
So these are facts, but a reversal is where imagination (and advertising) begins to separate from reality. Resorts want you to believe that you will come out of your wrap, like a cocoon - completely relaxed, moisturized, detoxified, cellulite and noticeably more thin butterfly. But, if you are familiar with the phrase too good to be true & # 39; “We think that you ... you probably won’t be surprised to learn that the results will probably not be so dramatic.” Experts warn, first of all, not to expect medical results for conditions such as arthritis.
As long as you do not expect to lose 10 pounds and 3 inches from your waist, there are some advantages to body wrapping. No one will appeal that he feels quite comfortable to be wrapped up and left to relax in a dimly lit room for half an hour or so. Your skin will likely feel soft and supple after you soak it in moisturizers. And you can lose the weight of water and see an improvement in cellulite, but just be prepared for the results to decrease in a couple of days.
So, without further ado, here are the five benefits of body wrapping. Just be sure to accept any application for a spa with grain (sea) salt.
