TCM Detox Treatment & Feel Good Tip

BODY WRAPPING:  With Body Wrapping, the circumference of the arms, waist or thighs can be reduced visibly with little effort. How body wrapping works and how to use it without much effort at home, we will show you in today's home spa tip. Body wrapping is based on the principle of compression and helps our body to reduce water deposits, activate fat cells and remove slag. With the combined use of potent body care products, the effect can be increased even more.

You need:

• 1-2 rolls of cling film, 2 bath towels, body care products - we use our Detox Oil Scrub, Anti Aging Body Serum and Anti Aging Body Cream Blanket & 1 pot of detoxification tea
• Prepare a pleasant place to relax and make yourself a pot of detoxification tea or ginger water. During the wraps you should drink plenty to activate the kidneys, as they play an important role in the removal of water and slag during the effects of the body wrap.
• Pamper your skin with the detox oil scrub. Begin with your feet moving forward to the legs towards the heart with gentle, circular movements. Likewise start from the hands over to the arms and shoulders. The peeling cleanses and removes dead skin cells. At the same time it stimulates the purification process and blood circulation with peeling particles from apricot kernels and poppy seeds. Wash it off during a relaxing shower.
• Massage the intense Anti Aging Serum into those areas that need a bit more "attention". Then apply the Anti Aging Body Cream to all the areas that you want to wrap in the next step with cling film. Some cream residue on the skin can still be visible.
• Wrap your legs first with foil. The best way to work with individual pieces of film in the length of about one meter. Do not wrap too tightly to prevent you from cutting off blood supply. As a small rule of thumb, the looser your connective tissue is, the looser the wrap should be. At the same time, the film should not slip. It is advisable to try out the desired strength of the wraps beforehand. You may need help from a second person in the arms.
• After you have wrapped yourself up, you should rest and relax for at least half an hour. Lie down in the relaxing place you have prepared and cover yourself. Now you can go ahead and sweat! Remember to drink a lot during the next few hours to further boost the detox effect. Your fat cells are being pushed together by the body wrap. As a result, water and slag are removed from the cells, which are then transported to the kidneys and broken down.
• Remove the wraps after one hour. We then recommend a shower to remove the sweat. Treat yourself to some extra complementary care with a short massage with the firming pomegranate oil.
• For optimal, sustainable results, apply the wrap weekly for a period of 10 weeks. After just one or two wrapping applications you will see the first successes. Therefore: Happy Wrapping!
