The mask should not be runny or too thick. In consistency, it should resemble a liquid cream. After application (on the waist), you need to wrap the selected place with foil and put on a warm robe.To enhance the thermal effect and a deeper effect of the ingredients.
Clay
This is probably the most popular type of wrapping. There are many types of clay and they have different effects when applied to the skin. Choose blue or gray to fight cellulite. For smooth and youthful skin - pink. The required amount is simply diluted in water. Just do not get carried away, the consistency should be the same as in the previous version, maybe even a little denser.
Chocolate
In addition to the guaranteed good mood after such a wrap (the smell of chocolate promotes the release of the hormone of joy), you will get elastic, radiant and slightly tinted skin. It is preferable to choose dark chocolate, since only it contains a large amount of cocoa butter and cocoa powder. Chocolate has a melting point of 36 degrees, so it does not freeze on the skin.
Alternatively, you can make a wrap simply on the basis of cocoa powder diluted with hot water and essential oil: orange, rosemary, sandalwood, lemon.
Ginger and Lime Juice Wrap
Over the past few years, the popularity of ginger as a weight loss aid has grown tremendously. It is also used when wrapping, but be careful, it burns very delicate areas, so it is strongly not recommended to apply it on the inner side of the thigh.
For wrapping, ground ginger is used, mixed with olive oil and lime juice (5-8 tablespoons). For a more powerful effect, you can purchase fresh ginger and grate it on a medium-sized grater. The olive oil will penetrate the skin and leave it smooth and pleasant to the touch.
It will also soften the effects of the ginger and prevent you from getting severe redness or even burns. Fresh lime juice will help to make the skin elastic, add tone, due to the additional improvement of blood circulation in the problem area.
