Do cellulite wraps help?
Cellulite is the problem that an absolute majority of women face. The cause of the disease is a violation of microcirculation in fat cells, as a result of which they deform, accumulate fat, slag and toxins. Thus, there are tubercles on the skin, resembling an orange peel.
The disease affects all women, regardless of the percentage of fat in the body. The most common is cellulite on the legs - the outer and back surfaces of the thigh, buttocks, less often - on the abdomen, front, inner thigh, legs, arms.

Preparing for the
procedure Physical exercise increases the flow of blood to the muscle, and, accordingly, to the subcutaneous fat layer. Therefore, the optimal time for anti-cellulite wrapping at home - after training. Thus, the active ingredients that are contained in the mixture will penetrate faster inside.
Before the wrapping, the skin should be well prepared for the procedure:
- take a warm shower or bath so that the pores are fully opened;

Fresh mixture gently, in circular movements rub into problem areas for at least 5 minutes, and then rinse with water.After the skin is well cleaned and warmed up, you can proceed to the procedure.

On the cleansed skin of the legs and buttocks, apply the resulting mixture, wrap the food film, put on warm pants or wrap yourself in a blanket. During this anti-cellulite wrap, the skin becomes very warm, which increases blood circulation and helps the essential oils penetrate inside the fat layer to remove the toxins at the cellular level.
