Honey wraps are one of the most effective procedures that are part of a set of measures aimed at maintaining the tone of the skin and eliminating cellulite. How to make wraps with honey, what are their advantages and to whom they are contraindicated, read below.

Types of Wraps

Honey wraps are divided into 2 types:

1. Cold - involves the use of unheated raw materials applied to individual areas. In addition to applying honey to the body, it is assumed that active movements are performed to warm the muscles. The procedure is effective for not too noticeable manifestations of cellulite.
2. Hot - involves the application of raw materials heated to +40 ... + 45 ° C, on individual parts of the body where the manifestations of cellulite are most visible, followed by closing them with cling film. After completing all the manipulations, you need to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and lie down. The procedure takes 30-40 minutes.

Important! Wrapping procedures are effective only in combination with physical activity and proper nutrition. They are not an independent tool in removing body fat.

Features of Honey Slimming Wrap

Honey wraps are carried out only on clean steamed skin. Ideally, after visiting a bath, sauna or shower. During water procedures, it is advisable to scrub the skin so that the pores open to the maximum. The main thing is not to damage the skin, so that there is no irritation. After steaming, proceed directly to the application of raw materials.It is better to impose with massaging or cotton movements. After applying a fairly dense layer of raw material, a film is wound to enhance the greenhouse effect. It is not worth tightening the film too tight, so as not to provoke tissue edema. The time of the procedure varies between 30-60 minutes.

After the film is removed, the honey is washed off with warm water and a nourishing cream or cosmetic milk is applied to the body. The duration of the course of procedures should not exceed 10-15 days. The break between courses should be exactly a month. The recommended frequency of courses is 3-4 times a year.

Benefits

• Wraps have a positive effect on the whole body:
• due to increased blood circulation, the metabolism in tissues is accelerated, which allows you to effectively remove toxins and provoke the burning of fat cells;
• due to the greenhouse effect, the pores open more strongly and begin to actively sweat, which reduces tissue swelling;
• the skin becomes toned and supple, enriched with vitamins and minerals contained in honey.

How to choose honey for wrapping?

Raw materials for wrapping should be natural and mature. It is necessary to select honey in which all fermentation processes are completed. This will be evidenced by its structure. Mature raw materials do not drain from the spoon and are wound on it during rotation.

The main indicator of quality products is a pleasant sweetish aroma that does not contain impurities. The authenticity of honey is also determined by its ability to crystallize. Only acacia honey is not exposed to this process.

Several ways to verify the authenticity of honey:

• real high-quality products are completely dissolved in water, making it cloudy, but without leaving sediment;
• the structure of the raw material is evenly colored - if there are darker areas that differ in color from the main mass, then the raw material has undergone heat treatment.

Identify the presence of impurities by conducting several experiments:

1. Put 2 drops of iodine on honey - if a blue tint appears, starch is present in the product.
2. If gelatin was added to honey, it can be detected by dropping a couple of drops of tannin - white flakes will indicate the presence of an impurity.
3. By adding vinegar, you can determine the presence of chalk in the product - this will be evidenced by the bubbles that appeared on the surface.
