There is a new craze out there called Body Wrapping! Have you heard about it? In as little as 45 minutes, you can tighten, tone and firm the skin. Best part – body wrapping can reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Ultimate Body Applicator / Neck & Chin Applicator Wrapping Instructions :
- Optimum conditions for wrapping: Take a hot shower right before applying the wrap (helps to open pores). Please do NOT use soap or lotions/ mineral oil products as these can block pores and keep formula from properly absorbing.
- Before applying the wrap, Take a picture with your PHONE!! Take your picture in the morning 72 hours after your wrap to compare the before/after. If you wrap on Monday night, take your 72 hour picture on Thursday morning. You can download several collage programs to your phone like Pic Collage and Photo Grid to do side by side photos.
- Apply applicator to desired area and wrap with saran wrap or something similar to hold in place. An ace bandage or similar product is great for legs & Press’n Seal for the neck & chin.
- Leave wrap on for a MINIMUM of 45 min (I recommend longer, may wear overnight if desired).
- While wearing your applicator, drink 2-3 bottles of WATER in first hour. After removing wrap, rub in residual product. It is very important to drink at least 8-10 glasses of WATER a day for the following 3 days. The more you drink the more you shrink! (½ your body weight in h2o is a great goal) I’ve found many people are already dehydrated prior to use!
- Limit fatty foods, caffeine, and sugar during this time also. Eating is not recommended while wrapped. Do not exercise or sweat.
- Do not shower immediately after removing the wrap, give it a few hours to make sure properly absorbed.
- Exercise, healthy eating & detoxifying with additional It Works products like Defining Gel, Greens & Regular can maximize your results! Smoking, fats, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine (among other things) can slow your results down as these put toxins into your body.
- Medications can affect your results. Also if you are female and use the wraps around the time of your menstrual cycle, that may lessen your immediate result.
- Are you regular? Bowel Movements need to be occurring every day in order to detox properly, If this is not occurring then you will not see optimal results with inch loss.
- Take before and after photos so you can compare! Do so every time to wrap! You will be glad you did! You may consider cropping your head if you are feeling uneasy about that. If you are comfortable sharing them with me, I would love to have them!
