She Slept With Plastic Wrap And Bandages On Her Stomach – What Happened In The Morning Was Nothing Short Of A Miracle
This story went viral for a reason. A woman decided to try an old body wrap technique before going to sleep and woke up the next morning to results that shocked her. While it may sound unusual, body wrapping has been used for decades in spas and wellness centers around the world.
What Is Body Wrapping?
Body wrapping is a technique that involves applying a cream or mixture to the skin and then wrapping the area tightly with plastic wrap or bandages. The wrap creates heat and increases perspiration in the targeted area. Spas charge hundreds of dollars for professional body wrap treatments.
The DIY Method She Used
What you need:
- Plastic wrap or bandages
- Body lotion or cream (she used a firming lotion)
- A warm compress or heating pad (optional)
How she did it:
She applied a generous layer of firming body cream to her stomach area. She then wrapped the area firmly with plastic wrap, covering her entire midsection. She put on a comfortable shirt over the wrap and went to sleep. In the morning she carefully removed the wrap.
What She Noticed
Upon removing the wrap she noticed her stomach appeared visibly flatter and more toned. Her skin felt softer and appeared tighter. The bloating she had been experiencing was significantly reduced.
Why It Works
The wrap increases local body temperature which causes increased perspiration. This helps flush excess water retention from the tissue. The compression also helps temporarily tighten and firm the skin. The firming cream penetrates more deeply under the wrap due to the increased heat and absorption.
Important Things To Know
The results are partially temporary as some of the reduction is water weight. However consistent use combined with a healthy diet and exercise can lead to more lasting results. Do not wrap too tightly as this can restrict circulation. Do not use if you have sensitive skin or skin conditions. Always test the cream on a small area first.
Many women have reported positive results from this technique. Give it a try and see what results you get for yourself.
