How Long To Leave Vicks Wrap On?
With all of these wraps, after application, you want to wrap tightly with saran wrap and then repeat with the ace bandage and leave for 30 mins to 8 hours. This is a great way to lose a few inches before a vacation or trip, or even a party to make sure you can get back into that dress you have been trying to fit.
What Can I Use In My Body Wraps At Home?
- Coffee grounds
- Epsom Salt
- Coconut oil
- Skin Toning Cream
- Hemorrhoid Cream
- Aloe Vera Juice
- Essential Oils
- Vicks Vaporub
If you plan to do the wraps Often I recommend just purchasing in bulk. It's more cost-effective, especially if you plan to do your whole body. The plastic wrap will be used more than anything, it helps keep the "wrap creams" in place while we wait.
Coffee Wrap Treatment
| The caffeine in this wrap treatment helps to draw out water. It also tones the fat cells and helps with blood circulation. Ingredients: ½ cup coconut oil or olive oil ⅛ cup Epsom salt ½ cup ground coffee Directions: Mix all ingredients together to create a scrub. Rub all over the area you are wanting to treat. (I suggest that you do this in the shower, it will get messy) Cover the area with plastic wrap an ace bandage. Sit for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse off in the shower, with warm water and wash as usual. Repeat a few times a week as desired. |
Epsom Salt Treatment
| Ingredients: 2 c Epsom salt ¼ c Aloe Vera Juice Directions: Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Apply to the desired area. Wrap with plastic wrap. Secure with an ace bandage and leave for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Repeat a few times a week as desired. |
As with anything diet and exercise are going to play a part in fat burn and inch loss. You can just plastic wrap the stomach and do nothing else and expect results.
These saran wrap weight loss hacks are helpful, and the all natural ingredients make it a way better solution then spending hundreds of dollars on other wraps and treatments. Applying vicks to help me burn fat seems like a way better solution to me.
