Body wraps offer a powerful, rejuvenating way to nurture your skin, reduce cellulite, unwind, and detoxify. When done correctly, this treatment stimulates fat breakdown, boosts lymphatic drainage, enhances blood circulation, and accelerates the removal of toxins, leaving your body feeling refreshed and revitalized.

In this article, we’ll go over the main rules for performing body wraps and share some recipes that are perfect for home use.

Basic Rules for Body Wraps

• Perform body wraps exclusively in the evening, allowing your body enough time to restore itself.
• On the day of the procedure, stick to a light vegetable-based diet.
• The last meal should be at least two hours before the wrap. After that, only drink plain water.
• Prepare your skin by massaging it with a soft natural-bristle brush or taking a warm bath.
• Perform body wraps every 1-2 days in a course of 10-15 sessions.
