Has anyone tried this "It Works!" stuff? I keep hearing about it everywhere. I'm skeptical! It's not weight loss per se, but is supposed to improve saggy skin and cellulite... I shy way from magic fixes, believing in good ol' hard work myself, but I have friends who are swearing by it!

    My bestie is a rep for It Works and it actually does. It takes the toxins out from the area and helps firm up. You can lose up to 3inches. You have to wrap and drink lots of water to flush it out. Ive seen the results. I've done it and my husband and my bestie and her clients. Its not a weight loss but too firm up the loose areas.

    Save money and wrap yourself in plastic wrap. You'll get the same results and look just as silly.

    Do you have to keep doing it after your cellulite is gone and your skin it tightened or is it a one time deal?

    In my experience, it "DOESN'T Work". None of those fly by night products do!

    But, skin and cellulite aren't made of toxins, so how could a detox get rid of them?

    Im an esthetician and the reason why these wraps work is because they take all the water out of your body. Yes they do help flush toxins because after you are done you need to drink TONS of water or you will get sick. Basically you dont want to do them more then once a week or you will do more harm to your body. As for cellulite if you take used coffee grounds and smear them on your legs, wrap them up in plastic wrap for half hour a day it will reduce the appearance of cellulite due to the caffeine.

    See, I never understood this. Does caffeine perk up your fat so they fill up and not look so cottage cheese-y?

    You don't need to drink lots of water because it flushes toxins out (what, lack of toxins will make you sick ? wtf ?). You need to drink lots of water because as you said, they dehydrate you.

    The caffeine helps to absorb and remove liquid – all of which can help minimize the appearance of cellulite. I did this is high school during volleyball season and it works.

    You DO need to drink TONS of water after a body wrap, the wraps pull toxins out and you need the water to flush them out, IF you dont drink water afterwards you will get sick because you need to flush the toxins out.
