HOW TO WRAP & TIPS
I want you to get the absolute best results with your wraps! So, I’ve made a list of tips and tricks that I’ve learned and tried. I’ve used these tips to help me achieve the best results possible with the It Works Wraps. These tips have worked for me and there should be no reason they will not work for you ~ if you follow them.
First ~ Take your before pictures! Take a picture of the area you are going to wrap (no matter how stupid or embarrassed you feel doing it). When you take your after picture, you will be amazed at the difference! You see yourself every day and won’t realize how much you’ve really changed until you look at the two pictures together. Trust me on this!!!! Take your pictures!
Make sure you MEASURE!!!!!! On the stomach measure at your navel, 2” above and 2” below. On the legs measure your thigh at the widest point, in the middle and above the knee. Arms, measure the thickest part of your arm. You can mark your measurements with a permanent marker so you know where to measure after.
Take a hot shower right before you wrap. You want to open up your pores so the cream from the wrap can soak in. DO NOT use any soap at all. This will block your pores. Do not use any lotion at all either. Use a loufa sponge or cellulite brush to help open the pores. Remember, no soap or lotion of any kind! You can use a natural exfoliate such as sea salt or sugar if you wish.♦ After towel drying, wipe the area you are going to wrap with rubbing alcohol. A panty liner works great for this. This will be sure that anything you have on your skin is removed and your pores are open to soak in all the goodness from the wrap! Let it dry. I personally do this to assure I get the best results.
Make sure you have read the instructions on your wrap package.
Apply the wrap to the area you are wrapping with the lotion side down. Smooth the wrap to get out as many bubbles & creases as possible. There may be lotion on the top when you smooth it out. Rub it somewhere else on your body! To keep the wrap in place, wrap the area with plastic wrap, ace bandage, compression clothing or shape-wear. The plastic wrap does nothing to improve your results. It’s just to keep the wrap in place. Leave the wrap on for a MINUMUM of 45 minutes. On your first wrap it’s advised that you only leave it on 45 minutes to make sure you have no adverse reaction. If not, you can put it back on and leave it on. Some people sleep in it. Do not leave the wrap on more than 8 hours. You can go shopping, clean house, chill out or whatever while wearing the wrap. DO NOT exercise while wearing the wrap. You want the lotion to absorb into your skin, not sweat out.
During your 45 minutes, drink a minimum of 2 bottles of water. 16-24 oz.
When you take your wrap off, there will be lotion on your skin and on the wrap. RUB THE LOTION INTO YOUR SKIN. An added tip: MASSAGE! Especially for areas with cellulite! Massage the lotion into your skin. Give yourself a little massage on the area you’re targeting. Rub the leftover lotion from the wrap on your skin! This lotion is like GOLD! Do Not waste it! On some people the lotion turns white when you rub it. That’s fine…just keep rubbing until its soaked into your skin.
Take your measurements again in the same spots. REJOYCE!
For the next 72 hours (3 days) drink ½ your body weight in water!! This is imperative for the wraps to work. If you weight 200 lbs drink 100 oz of water. That’s 6 or so bottles (depending on the oz in each bottle). Personally, right when I get up a drink a big cup of water. Try it! Your body will love you for it. You must drink the water! The purpose of the wrap is to flush the toxins out of the fatty area you have just wrapped. You need water to do this!
For the next 3 days, stay away from fatty or processed foods, sugar, coffee, soda and alcohol. And WATCH YOUR SALT INTAKE. Do not smoke (anything). The wrap is doing it’s job, you need to do your part to achieve the absolute best results possible!
Do not exercise for at least 8 hours after your wrap. You want to make sure the lotion is completely absorbed into your skin. This wrap does not work by sweating!
Do not shower immediately after you wrap! Give yourself several hours before you take a shower. Personally, I shower the next day. I do not want to wash away the lotion; I want it to do it’s job. I’d wait at least 8 hours before showering.
95% of people do get results with the wraps. If you didn’t, please read through all these tip and make sure you did them. If you are a smoker…Smoking can lesson your results. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE WRAPPING.
Ladies.... Do Not wrap when it’s “that time of the month”. There is something in the hormonal imbalance during that time that diminishes results. The wrap may not work at all during your period or taking medications. Plan your wraps accordingly! Regarding medications, if you have questions, take a wrap with ingredients to your doctor and ask.
Do Not wrap again for 72 hours! The botanical-blend in one wrap continues to work over the course of 72 hours (3 days). Your results will progress over this time.
Wrap only 1 area at a time. For stomach, wrap your stomach only. Your arms and legs can be wrapped at the same time (either both arms or both legs). Depending on the size of your arms/legs, the wrap can be cut in half and placed in the desired location. Do not wrap your arms and legs at the same time. Stomach separate, legs separate and arms separate. Do not wrap them together!
Take your pictures again after 72 hours!!!! Be amazed at your results!!! And, let me know your results!
