Notes

* When you’re under the woolen blanket with the body wrap around you, you’re going to sweat profusely. Don’t let it bother you because sweating is the way body wraps work. Allow your body to sweat it all out!

* You might be bored while lying under the woolen blanket but you can use this time to close your eyes and relax or do affirmations such as ‘I have a fit, strong and beautiful body.’ Alternatively, you can browse on your phone or listen to calming tunes.

* Do not wrap your chest. Wear undergarments or a bikini when doing the wrap. When wrapping your butt, wrap the cotton cloth firmly upwards.

* After the wrap, have an alternate hot and cold shower to stimulate flow of toxins and wastes in your body.

* If your bathroom is big enough for you to lie down with the towel over you, you can apply the messy body wrap mixture in there. If not, find a private area in your home which can easily be cleaned up.

* Place a plastic sheet below you before you smear the wrap on your body to prevent drips on the floor.

* Use the wrap once a week for six weeks then once a month after that for maintenance. You can also do the wrap a couple days or the night before a main event for instant weight loss.

* Leave the wrap on for an hour or two but some people leave it for 4 hours to see better results. I don’t know if this is true but one hour is more comfortable and convenient especially if you’re under the woolen blanket.

* Always take a hot shower and exfoliate your body well before doing the wrap. This opens your pores, removes dead cells and prepares your body for the wrap.

* You might need to use more of the ingredients depending on your body size and height. So feel free to adjust the ingredients below to be able to make enough to spread all over your body.

* Drink water after the wrap to help you eliminate the toxins.
