How Body Wraps Work
How body wraps work not only depends on the product used, but also whether they are an active or a relaxing body treatment.
Body wraps that are aloe vera based are generally for overall skin softening.
With other natural additives such as herbs and minerals and even clay, then the body wrap becomes a toning and tightening wrap as well as an inch loss.
Most all body wraps will help to diminish cellulite a bit due to the specific products helping to draw the excess fluids surrounding the fat cells in the body.
For women, cellulite usually is most visible on thighs, buttocks and even upper arms.
Some say that body wraps work on the lymphatic system.
This is statement can be true and false.
The lymphatic system only works when our bodies are in motion and the lymph system needs a sort of a pumping motion to get it to work like walking, for example.
So 'active' wraps are the most popular choice that can provide the maximum results.
When the particular products are applied it is based on the premise that the skin is the largest organ of the body.
To better understand this, think of the nicotine patch for people which are trying to quit smoking or the birth control patch.
Our bodies are able to accept these products through our skin and provide us with the benefits they are meant to produce.
So when you are wrapped in either elastic bandages, cotton clothes or even swaddled in warm blankets after the product is applied it is the products that are being 'consumed' by the skin and then does the work it is intended to do.
The products will work regardless if you are exercising or relaxing; however, when the lymph system is allowed to 'pump' better results can be achieved.
So whether you are looking for slimming, to diminish cellulite, toning and tightening of the skin, or simply for moisturizing the skin it is best to understand the products being used and whether you should be active or can relax during the hour treatment for the benefit you are seeking.
If you are looking for a natural way to help with detoxification and even a quick fix to tone and tighten the skin, lose inches and reduce cellulite then body wraps should be considered as an additional to your healthy lifestyle and are a great 'jump start' to any new diet or healthy lifestyle program as they will give you that smaller, tighter feeling that allows us to lose a few inches and promote us to keep up with whatever lifestyle program we are considering.
