DIY Body Wrap – Slim Trim!
A body wrap works on the same principle of a steam room. It’s the basic procedure of getting rid of any extra water weight by expelling it with the help of plastic and some natural ingredients. The reason why a body wrap at home is better than a sauna or a steam room is that a body wrap works much faster and even reduces toxins inside the body! Plus, you could even make your own body wrap with a simple DIY Body Wrap recipe!
Why DIY When You Can Buy?
Most ready-to-use body wrap products that you can buy at a store are quite expensive. Although they do work quite well, they’re just not priced for the common man. Also, there is that little extra added pleasure experienced in making something yourself and then watching the results unfold in front of your own eyes!
Does A Body Wrap Help You Lose Weight?
Body wraps do help you lose weight only if it is used over a period of time. A single use of a wrap might result in you being able to fit into your favorite pair of jeans but, will not be a permanent result.
At the same time, it also depends upon the amount of water weight stored in your body.
Who Can Use A Body Wrap And Should Avoid It?
If you’re pregnant, vulnerable when it comes to heat, suffering from any skin or health conditions or are breastfeeding, then I strongly suggest that you do not try this. Also, if you are aware that you possess low water weight then there is not use in you attempting this as it may not work all that well.

Things To Remember While Using A Body Wrap
1. Make sure that the water is warm but, never hot. This could result in you burning your skin.
2. Always drink 8 ounces of water before you apply the wrap. The longer you leave the wrap on, the more water must be consumed.
3. The wrap can be used on pretty much any part of your body.
4. While applying the wrap, you can overlap it in many places but, make sure that you leave no gaps.
5. Exercise is a crucial part of this process. Make sure that you follow a strict exercise routine before you attempt using a body wrap.
6. If you have extremely sensitive skin then do not use a body wrap as the heat that your skin is exposed to may not be good for your health.
7. A body wrap provides only momentary results. For more permanent results, one must use a body wrap several times.
8. You will know if a body wrap is working when you visit the washroom several times or when your body is sweating. It could also be a combination of the two.
9. To know how well the wrap is working, I suggest measuring yourself using a tape measure, before and after.
10. Finally, all wraps must be left on for a minimum of 45 minutes, each round.
