Wrapping With Film: A Way To Lose Weight
There are several techniques that aim to improve the results of the slimming diet: from slimming creams and gels, to juices, massages, fat-dissolving injections, up to surgery. Wrapping with film can also give good results.
It is a technique used in beauty salons and many women practice it at home. Wrapping the film in different areas of the body warms, increases the blood supply and stimulates the activity of the sweat glands. As if that were not enough, it increases the ability to eliminate toxins and waste.
The use of film for this purpose can vary, as some ingredients help improve results. Here are two effective methods for promoting weight loss, detoxification and cellulite reduction: with honey and with clay.
Wrap yourself with honey
This method consists of making a homemade cream to improve the results when wrapping the body with the film.
You will need:
- ½ cup of honey
- 1 egg yolk
- A few drops of citrus essential oil
What do you have to do?
- Pour the honey into a saucepan and heat it in a bain-marie. When it is hot, add the other ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
- With a brush, apply the mixture to areas such as the arms, thighs or abdomen and then wrap yourself in cling film.
- Cover the affected area with a jacket or blanket and, after an hour, remove the film and the rest of the mixture.
Pack with clay
Wrapping yourself in clay is one of the most effective ways to fight cellulite and eliminate fat. It is recommended to use blue clay, as this contains a large number of trace elements which have a positive effect on the skin.
You will need:
- Blue clay
- Hot water
What do you have to do?
- The amount of clay depends on the area to be covered. Pour the hot water into a bowl with clay and mix until a creamy consistency is obtained.
- Apply to the skin, wrap with plastic wrap, cover with a shirt and leave for an hour. To improve results, we recommend that you do some exercise or physical activity while you wait for time to pass.
- To see quick results, do this at least twice a week. You will get a slimmer figure and reduce cellulite and stretch marks.
Wrapping up with film: all the benefits
- Wrapping in plastic wrap two or three times a week, especially when exercising, increases your weight loss abilities and can help you shed nearly a pound per week. Of course, provided that the treatment is accompanied by a healthy diet.
- The film is easy to find and inexpensive.
- It is easy to shape and adapts to different parts of the body.
- It increases sweating, which allows you to burn more calories.

Advice and warnings
It is very important to take certain precautions into account to prevent unwanted effects. The film does not allow the skin to transpire; this, together with the accumulation of toxins that is created, could produce an allergic reaction or inflammation.
Therefore, remember that:
- The film should not be too tight to avoid allergies.
- It must be kept for a maximum of one hour.
- Once the exercises are finished, it should be removed immediately.
- Before rinsing or showering, wait a few minutes for your body temperature to gradually drop.
- The water in the shower must change from hot to lukewarm.
- To finish the treatment, carefully dry the skin and apply some moisturizer.
