You can use them separately. The results will also be noticeable.
How do wraps work
The wrapping principle is based on the greenhouse effect. After applying the composition to the skin at home, the treated area is wrapped in a film to create a greenhouse, thereby increasing the temperature under the film. As a result, the pores open, the sebaceous glands begin to work more actively, and toxins and fat "evaporate" from the skin - the process of losing weight occurs.
Here's what happens when wrapping:
- increased blood flow to the treated area;
- metabolism accelerates;
- excess moisture evaporates, edema goes away;
- the skin is tightened.
All this contributes to a decrease in body volume. After the course of the procedures, this is especially noticeable.
Indications
The indication for wrapping is:
- cellulite,
- loose skin
- excess weight,
- recovery period after childbirth,
- the need to cleanse the body of toxins and toxins.
Kinds
The types of wraps are classified depending on the temperature of the mixture used. The principle of operation will be different.
Cold wrapping provokes a vasoconstriction reaction, the skin is toned. The body spends energy to heat the treated area, getting it from its own reserves. A cold wrap will help to tidy up loose skin that has lost its elasticity.
Hot wrap is aimed at burning fat. It is especially recommended for weight loss at home, as the loss of volume occurs faster.
The main components and their action
Wrap mixes can include a wide variety of ingredients.
