How to Shed Excess Weight With Body Wraps

Using body wraps that contain oils and herbal ingredients can rid your body of toxins, but you're also likely to get a few other perks--firming up sagging skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite and even losing a few inches in the area where the wraps are applied. Follow these steps to shed excess weight with body wraps.

Instructions

• 1

  Find a spa or health clinic offering body wrap treatments. Ask friends and family members for recommendations and then visit the locations to gather specific information on their facilities and services.

• 2

  Make an appointment for a time when you're not going to be rushed. Body wraps can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour and your first session may take even longer.

• 3

  Follow the instructions given to you before your appointment. To prepare for your body wrap, you're going to need to drink plenty of water in order to stay hydrated. It's also helpful to shower beforehand to remove toxins that may be on your skin surface and then not apply lotions or perfumes.

• 4

  Know which areas of your body you wish to target during your session. Consider focusing on a specific area--arms, thighs, waist or buttocks--during each individual appointment so you're able to keep an eye on the progress in that one area before moving on to another.

• 5

  Bring additional clothing to change into after your body wrap.

• 6

  Schedule your next appointment. Your commitment at follow-up sessions may be necessary in order to shed the excess weight with body wraps that you desire.
