Tips and Warnings

• Purchase wrapping sheets from a beauty supply store. You can use towels, but according to HealthRecipes.com, wrapping sheets are more beneficial as they squeeze your skin more effectively, maximizing any potential weight loss. HealthRecipes.com recommends using essential oils such as lemongrass, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, rosemary, sandalwood or sage. Exfoliate skin before you use body wrap. Drink water after your body wrap session to hydrate yourself and to maximize toxin removal. Use organic ingredients in your body wraps. HealthRecipes.com recommends that you avoid alcohol, sugar, fried foods and caffeine for 48 hours after each body wrap session. According to WrapYourselfSlim.com, you should perform one to two body wrap sessions per week.
