Body Wrap

Are you looking for a temporary fix to water weight? If so do an Epsom salt bath for 20-40 minutes right before bed.

Swap the lotion out for peanut butter and I could be convinced

this, but add jelly.

I have friends that swear by them (they use the commercial ones)...but they do 2-3 a week. I think that's crazy money to spend. If you are trying to squeeze into a new outfit for a special occasion - I'd say do it! Just don't expect it to last.

I've never heard of someone doing it at home with plastic wrap. At least it's cheaper than wasting your money on those at-home party ones. Every time I see an ad or flyer for them I laugh my head off.

Sorry, but.....HAHAHAHAHA. Body wrap! No, this is not a weight loss "solution". This is an empty your wallet solution.

Has anyone tried to do an at home body wrap? You know, the kind with tons of lotion, plastic wrap around the area and then you go to sleep. I've read that people have lost inches doing this, but I never know if those people are just paid to say that. So, that being said, I would like real people's opinions.

Have always used body wraps as a temp prep up ... A lead in to an outing [a social calendar event like a ball - where a gown is required] or a tamure performance, to rid the body of some water weight, from my early teens. Started using them in NZ as a prep protocol. Before NZ, it was using native oils and a hot steam room > think Native American steaming hut, only with the whole tamure squad of girls and tonnes of herbal lotions & oils.

Didn't really think of it as a weight loss regimen, moreso, just a body firming 'surety' pre-event. The wrap was a short cut > no massages [lymphatic drainage], no ear bashing, no strict diet [vegan juicing] and no hot steaming with more ear bashing ... "Phi a khuuut khaal and nhot a pat khaal." <~ "BE a good girl and NOT a bad girl!" lol

It is temporary unless you do it several times a week, which can get expensive. The best part is your skin feels so amazing afterwards. If you have the money to pamper yourself once a month I say do it. But don't do it for the inch loss, you will be disappointed when they come back on a day or so later

I had that done years ago in a salon. It's just water weight and not worth the money. Also, I had to sit in a sauna and got overheated.

I dont know if they work or not but I have been considering trying the one floating around pintrest for celulite reduction. I think it uses lotion, seran wrap, coffee grounds and a few other normal at home products? I highly doubt that it will be a miracle cure for all my little thigh bumps and dimples but it probably won't hurt either. At the very least it will boost my mental perception that I am waging and winning the war on my "thunder thighs."

Try it. If its the kind using stuff you would normally have in your house- its not emptying your wallet and its ingredients are already tested for use on skin.

EDITED to say: Spa days/treatments are only a waste of time and money if they are your solution to avoid hard work and effort. Treating yourself to some pampering is worth it!
