Instructions
There is no doubt that a course of salon procedures is highly effective. But it requires considerable financial costs, and not everyone has such opportunities. Whereas a wrap with honey for weight loss at home will cost much less. And if used skillfully, it will not be inferior in results. When starting this unusual technique, first study detailed instructions how to do it all correctly.
Preparation stage
- It is better to do a wrap with honey on an empty stomach, 1.5 hours after the main meal. After it, you will also have to fast for 1.5 hours.
- On the day you do the wrap, drink as much as possible. It can be plain water, tea, kefir, yogurt. It is advisable that the volume of liquid consumed during this day be at least 2.5 liters.
- Honey wrap can be in its pure form, but sometimes it is useful to add other ingredients to the recipe. They are useful in losing weight because they promote the intensive removal of harmful substances from the body. For this, coffee, mustard, cinnamon, salt, and ground pepper are used.
- It is better to use honey for weight loss as a body wrap before going to bed: you won’t have to eat, and your body will rest after a shower.
- Before doing this, be sure to prepare your skin for this procedure. You can go to the sauna or take a bath to steam it. After that problem area clean with a scrub and wipe dry with a fairly stiff terry towel.
- Honey needs to be slightly heated until liquid and warm. It will be great if you can get the product from the apiary.
Wrapping procedure
- Apply the honey composition prepared for wrapping to steamed, cleansed, dry skin, literally rubbing it in. Most often, problem areas are the stomach, sides, waist, legs and arms - it is in these places that fat is usually deposited and a cellulite crust is formed.
- Next, the treated areas are wrapped in cling film from bottom to top in the form of a spiral. This is where some skill and even experience will be required. Be prepared for the fact that not everything will work out the first time. The point is that you need to wind the film tightly, but without tightening it. Do not squeeze your body to avoid discomfort.
- Now is the time to create an additional thermal effect. This is easy to do: wrap yourself in a sheet, blanket, large towel or blanket.
- After this, you can finally relax and breathe easy: the main part of the procedure is over. At this stage, cosmetologists recommend relaxing, resting, lying down, watching TV, reading a book, listening to calm music.
- The duration of the honey wrap is from half an hour to 1.5 hours. It depends on the amount of extra pounds.
- Unwind the insulating bandage.
- Cut the cling film.
- Take a shower, washing the honey off your body with the gel.
- Do you want to enhance the effectiveness of honey wrap? Take a soda or salt bath afterwards.
- To soothe irritated skin, rub moisturizing body milk or anti-cellulite cream into it.
- One honey wrap is unlikely to allow you to lose weight. A course of procedures is needed. Minimum 10, maximum 15.
- The frequency depends on the sensitivity of the skin and the amount of extra pounds. The best option is once every 2-3 days.
- Unfortunately, honey wraps do not provide a long-term weight loss effect, i.e. without physical activity and diet, you will soon gain back the lost kilograms after completing the course. But it will be possible to return to sweet procedures only after 1.5 months.
This is how honey wraps for weight loss are carried out at home, recipes for which can be found in abundance on the Internet.
Keep in mind that in most cases the composition contains aggressive components that enhance the warming effect of honey. Prolonged contact of the skin with pepper, cinnamon, and mustard can cause a real burn. Therefore, with them, the effect of the amazing mixture will have to be limited to 40 minutes. But in its pure form, you can use honey for weight loss for as long as 1.5 hours.
Curious accounting. In the salon, the cost of a honey wrap for weight loss will be a round sum: 1 procedure - 2,500 rubles (or even more). Course - minimum 12 procedures. Let's calculate: 30,000. At home, for 12 procedures you will have to spend 500 ml of scrub - 700 rubles, 1 kg of honey - 1,100, 12 ml of essential oil - 350, lifting cream - 400, cling film - 200. Total: 2,750 rubles.
Recipes
When viewing and choosing honey wrap recipes for weight loss, consider several factors. The composition should be as simple as possible, and not represent almost a masterpiece of culinary art. All ingredients should be familiar to you and should not cause you allergies or disgust.
Having prepared the healing mixture, first test it on your wrist to avoid side effects. After application, listen carefully to how your body feels. If itching or burning begins, stop the procedure and choose another recipe. Fortunately, there is no shortage of them.
