In which parts of the body can you lose weight with wraps

Wrapping is a complex procedure, which involves the impact on problem areas using compression (pressure). In this case, cosmetics are used that complement the effect or act on the bloodstream, enhance metabolism or destroy fat cells.

The problem areas on the body that have an excess subcutaneous fat layer and look like an “orange peel” are:

• hips
• buttocks;
• stomach;
• sides;
• legs (lower legs);
• less often hands.

The wrapping procedure is suitable for all cases and is most effective when completely swaddling the body, when the pressure is evenly distributed over the entire area.

How wraps work

The principle of any wrapping is to start several processes in the subcutaneous fatty tissue as a result of strong uniform pressure on the body.

Among these processes:

• outflow of lymph and excess water, which carries away metabolic products;
• blood flow to problem areas, which leads to increased metabolism and the supply of the right amount of oxygen.

Cosmetics used during wrapping contain such components that can additionally cause the following processes:

• destruction of adipocytes – fat cells – reduction of the fat layer;
• increased metabolism as a result of a large blood flow;
• ensuring skin tone, preventing sagging as a result of weight loss;
• nutrition and maintenance of turgor (cellular pressure) of the skin.

Anti-cellulite wrap at home can lead to undesirable consequences, so you should carefully read the contraindications listed below.

The benefit from this procedure is significant and consists in:

• the effect of weight loss – after a course of body wraps, body volumes are reduced by at least 0’4 – 0’8 inch;
• a significant reduction in the phenomenon of “orange peel”;
• detoxification of the body – the removal of toxins and metabolic products;
• pulling up body shapes – elasticity appears;
• healthy skin – it becomes moisturized and regains its normal color;
• the disappearance of puffiness – all excess water leaves the tissues;

• pregnancy and lactation – any interference in the metabolism of a future or nursing mother can adversely affect the baby, so you should postpone the care of your beauty for a while;

Types of anti-cellulite wraps

The variety of anti-cellulite wraps is explained by an individual approach to each organism. Hot wraps help to remove toxins and excess water from the sweat, but they are contraindicated for people with vascular problems due to the expansion of the latter. In this case, cooling procedures are more suitable.

The individual intolerance of some components will also force you to abandon some types of wraps.

The following types of anti-cellulite wraps are distinguished:

• Collagen – can be used not only for weight loss, but also in anti-age procedures, as it helps to tighten sagging skin.
• Bandage – is carried out using elastic bandages that wrap the entire body, creating compression. Bandages can be impregnated with cosmetic formulations to enhance the effect. In salons, special suits or sleeves and trousers filled with air are used as a bandage.
• Icy – also called lymphatic drainage. Recommended for people whose work takes place “on their feet.” Contributes to the narrowing of pores, blood and lymph vessels, as a result of which the outflow of metabolites passes through the excretory system of the body. The cooling effect is achieved due to the components that cause a feeling of cold, such as menthol, camphor, peppermint oil. Cooling the body will start the process of self-heating by burning fat.
• Dry – using professional cosmetics, which do not need to be washed off after the procedure, it is enough to wipe the residue with a towel. Bandage wrap without impregnation of bandages is also dry.

The main stages of home wrap

Anti-cellulite wrap at home is a complex set of procedures that takes time.

Consists of the following steps:

• Skin preparation – consists in preliminary steaming the body with a warm bath, shower or rubbing with a hard washcloth, which will lead to blood flow.
• Soap cleansing – substances on uncleaned skin can react with the components of the wrapping agent and thereby reduce the effect or cause allergies.
• Exfoliating with a scrub – necessary to remove dead cells and scales, which can prevent the entry of anti-cellulite substances into the skin. At home, you can cook scrubs yourself, for example, by mixing abrasive particles (crushed walnut shells, coffee grains, etc.) with v
  egetable oils (olive, sunflower), as well as gruel from table salt or baking soda with water.
• The procedure for home wraps will depend on the type chosen, but, as a rule, it consists in applying a thick layer of anti-cellulite composition to problem areas, followed by wrapping this zone with cling film, while the movement of the skeins must be from the bottom up, and the swaddling itself is tight, but without constrictions, so as not to disturb the blood flow. It is recommended to hide in a warm blanket and stay in this position for at least 2 hours.
• Removing the remnants of the product is carried out at the end of the exposure time on the body – rinse with warm water in the shower using a mild detergent.
• The procedure ends with application of the anti-cellulite cream to the corresponding area with light massage movements.

Slimming buttocks and thighs

It’s easiest to get extra inch on the buttocks and hips, but it’s more difficult to get rid of it. Here it is necessary to use a wrap with irritants containing, for example, mustard or pepper. In this case, it is worth remembering that the lower abdomen should remain free from the layer of anti-cellulite composition.

Irritating components have a warming effect and can lead to skin burns, therefore they can withstand such a wrap on the body for no more than 30 minutes. And in case of a strong burning sensation, they are washed off immediately.

Mustard wrap is carried out on pre-cleansed skin treated with a scrub. The tool is prepared by mixing mustard powder with water to a thick sour cream. Distributed in the problem area with a thick layer, wound tightly and evenly with cling film, starting from the lower thighs, covering the buttocks, to the middle of the abdomen.

Warm, but not synthetic clothes are put on top to increase the effect of hyperemia – overheating. After half an hour – it is washed off well with water and an anti-cellulite cream is applied.

Hot chili pepper extract is part of the Capsican warming ointment for the treatment of joint ailments. Recently, the ointment has been used for anti-cellulite procedures at home.

Keeping the mixture on the body is not recommended for more than 30 minutes. There will be a strong burning sensation. Wash thoroughly with plenty of water at a comfortable temperature. After the procedure, apply the cream.

Slimming hips

Cellulite begins to appear on the hips. Short skirts or shorts reveal loose skin and an uneven surface of the body, so many, even thin girls, are in a hurry to get rid of the first signs of the effect of an orange. In this case, not very intensive procedures are suitable.

One of the most effective and pleasant wraps will be chocolate. At home, you should use natural cocoa powder, poured with hot water to a state of thick cocoa. The mixture is applied to the body under the food film in a warm state, but not hot, to avoid burns and discomfort.

You can wear warm clothes on top or wrap yourself in a blanket. Leave the product for several hours. As a result, flavonoids and other plant components of cocoa will improve the microcirculation of internal fluids in the skin, provoke collagen synthesis, due to which the body will tighten. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to take a warm shower and apply cream.

If the problem on the hips is pronounced, then you can use the honey recipe with additional components. So, the day before the procedure, a mixture of 2 large tablespoons of mustard powder diluted in warm water and salt, sugar, apple cider vinegar, taken in 1 small tablespoons is prepared

After preparing and cleaning the skin, add 1 large spoonful of honey to the prepared mixture and apply it to the body with massage movements. Top wrapped with cling film. Additional wrapping in procedures with honey is not required, since any heating can lead to the formation of toxic substances, which will provoke side effects.

For belly

Anti-cellulite wrap at home in the abdomen should be done carefully. Swaddling should not be too tight, and the means should be chosen without irritating effects. The best components for these procedures are blue clay and kelp.

The composition of blue clay is optimal for connective tissue cells. As a result of its application, the skin is leveled, becomes elastic, scars and stretch marks may disappear. The clay composition is prepared by mixing Cambrian clay with water until there are no lumps.

In this case, delamination should not be observed. Apply to clean skin with an even layer with slightly wet hands, cover with cling film without tightening it. After 1 h, rinse with warm water. Since clay increases the permeability of cell membranes, that is, it facilitates the penetration of nutrients, it is worth applying a cream or anti-cellulite composition at the end of the procedure.

Laminaria – blue-green algae – a cosmetic product, both in anti-aging procedures and in anti-cellulite. It favorably affects the texture of the skin, fights against stretch marks and scars. To wrap the house using micronized kelp powder, diluted with warm water to pulp and infused for 15 minutes.

Apply to a wet body and wrap with a film. Laminaria has a slightly irritating effect, so burning sensation and redness of the skin may appear. If the sensations are very painful, then the product should be washed off immediately with water. In general, the exposure time is not more than 1 hour.

For sides

“Ears” on the sides are also one of the early signs of cellulite, it is necessary to deal with them with certain physical exertion in combination with home wraps.

Suitable procedures with honey and milk, where the second is 2 times more. You can add a few drops of essential oil, for example, any citrus. For anti-cellulite therapy, they recommend grapefruit oil, which stimulates the burning of fat. The honey-milk composition is applied for 1 h and swaddled with a film. In this procedure, you should be at rest.

For the side zone, you can use mustard recipes, but with a small content. For example, you can mix 1 part mustard with 4 parts starch, pour all 6 parts of warm milk. Apply a thick mixture to the body and wrap with a film. In case of discomfort, rinse with water. Withstand no more than 30 minutes. on the body.

For legs

Intense cellulite can affect the legs along the entire length. Then they carry out wraps, swaddling each leg separately, starting from the foot and ending in the inguinal zone. This ensures a perfect outflow of lymph.

Since the legs can swell during the day, and long walks or standing work lead to heavy loads on the vessels, ice wraps are recommended.

Here, a combination of bandage wrap with ice wrap will come to the rescue. For this, the bandages are impregnated with the following composition: apple cider vinegar and water in a ratio of 1: 1 with the addition of no more than 4 drops of peppermint oil. Bandages wrap tightly around the legs. You can additionally cover with cling film. There should be a slight coolness. After an hour, the bandages are removed and the skin surface is washed with warm water.

Leg wraps will also benefit from coffee wraps, thanks to the caffeine they contain. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels, while affecting the metabolism, promotes the breakdown of fat and relieves swelling. Therefore, bandages can be saturated with strong custard coffee. And in advance, scrub the body with coffee grounds.

How often can I do body wraps

1. Intensive course. Its goal is to start the normalization of fat metabolism. Therefore, it lasts from 10 to 15 procedures.
2. Supporting course. His goal is to roll over the result. Duration is significantly reduced to 5 or 10 procedures, respectively.
3. Fixing result. The body is quite “tired” of the procedural load, therefore, at this stage there should not be more than 5 procedures.

Wrapping Results: Before and After Photos

Cellulite has several stages of development, and, as a rule, they begin to fight it at a late stage. Therefore, an integrated approach consisting of proper nutrition, certain physical activities and cosmetic procedures is needed.

Independent wrapping courses are effective only in 1-2 stages of cellulite, when it is enough to ensure blood flow and lymph outflow in the problem area. At this stage, honey or mustard treatments are suitable at home.
They will remove the signs of “orange peel” and align the contour of the body.

More advanced cellulite will require wrapping with a specific effect: hot, cold, and containing fat burning components in cosmetics.

Such procedures must be combined with an anti-cellulite massage that breaks down fatty “lumps” with intense physical activity aimed at problem areas, as well as with a strict diet that does not allow the formation of a new fat layer. Only in the complex can a reduction in body volume, a more even surface, and a healthy skin color be achieved.

Cellulite is not only aesthetically unattractive, it is also dangerous for the general health of a woman. This consists in overweight, which affects the load on the cardiovascular system, as well as stagnation of blood and lymph flows. As a result, launched cellulite can lead to the formation of vascular networks on the legs and even to varicose veins.

Violation of the outflow of lymph will affect the poor removal of toxins and harmful metabolic products from the body, which is fraught with allergic reactions, inflammation and skin rashes.

Ice wraps can come to the rescue, which can also be carried out as maintenance procedures once a month. After a course of ice procedures, the visibility of the vascular network is noticeably reduced, the volume in the problem area is lost, the skin becomes more elastic.

Difficult, but effective procedures aimed at getting rid of cellulite will positively affect the state of the body as a whole. At home, wraps are used to combat overweight and “orange peel”. It is very important to choose the right procedure, assess the risk of its implementation for women’s health and carefully implement it, observing all the requirements.
