Diy body wrap

Okay so I do body wraps and this is a great way to lose a few inches for a day or so. Now body wraps won't make you lose weight forever, but they are a good temporary fix and a great way to help your body detox. I do one a week or one every two weeks.


So here is my step by step:
  1. Start by running a hot bath with 1 cup of peroxide, 1 cup Epsom salts, 2 Tbsp ground ginger,  and 1 cup of baking soda.
  2. Sit in the bath for about 20-30 minutes
  3. You will sweat like crazy- so be sure to have a bottle of water or two while you are in the bath.
  4. I always have a 1 liter bottle of water that I finish while I am in the bath.
  5. When you get out of the bath, pat yourself dry
  6. If you have a heated mattress pad or a heated blanket- turn it on to preheat.
  7. If you have a clay mask on hand, put it on your trouble areas, like your belly, sides, butt.
  8. Next take saran wrap and wrap it around your legs, stomach, butt, and arms- make sure you have a pretty good amount of layers of this.
  9. Next I put on a big hoodie and really baggy pants
  10. Then I crawl into my bed and cover myself with about 4 blankets
  11. Now turn on a tv show that is 30-45 minutes long and watch it
  12. You will feel warm- even hot
  13. Once your time is up, slowly go to the bathroom and get a luke warm shower running
  14. Now take off the saran wrap- it will probably be wet since you will be sweating.
  15. Finally get in the shower and wash yourself off! Take it easy for the next few hours and drink more water!
