How to make vinegar body wrap for weight loss
Before the procedure, the skin should be specially prepared. Usually they use a body scrub or do a light exfoliation using coffee gruel, oatmeal and other natural products. It is useful to steam the skin before wrapping, which will increase the effectiveness of the procedure. The product must be applied to a completely dry skin surface.
Only natural vinegar is used for wraps. Usually they take wine or apple, the strength of which is 4-9%. Vinegar is diluted in water in a one to one ratio. If necessary, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the resulting solution to soften the skin and improve the aroma of the composition. Many people do not like the smell of vinegar solution, and the characteristic aroma lingers on the skin for some time. But when using essential oils, this side effect is eliminated.
The amount of solution depends on how many areas need to be treated. Usually they pay attention to the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. For massive knees and hands, these surfaces are also treated. For the procedure, you need to take wide gauze or hygroscopic fabric, cut into strips. Often, old sheets and duvet covers, which are cut into ribbons, are used for these purposes. Each tape is moistened in the solution and wrapped around the problem area.
After you manage to cover the body with ribbons, you need to wrap the areas with cling film. Cover yourself with a blanket or put on thermal underwear. In the latter case, it will be possible to combine vinegar wrap with moderate physical activity. For example, you can run in place, do a few squats or bends. Cling film makes movement much more difficult, but the effectiveness of weight loss in combination with physical activity will be many times higher. It is important that the treated areas do not come into contact with air. It should be warm and humid under the film. Some women combine procedures with active housework. This way you can lose weight without interrupting your household chores and without setting aside special time for the wrapping procedure.
The duration of the procedure is from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. It is useful to drink herbal tea, juices or mineral water during the procedure. It is best, of course, to drink warm drinks, which will increase sweating and speed up the processing of subcutaneous fat. After the procedure, you need to take a shower and lubricate the treated areas with cream. To eliminate cellulite, you can do a light massage of the thighs.
The effectiveness of the procedure largely depends on the quality of the wrap. When in contact with air, it is unlikely to achieve the desired result. However, if you follow the technique, you can lose from 500 g to 3 kg at a time. The course includes 5-10 wraps. They can be done daily or every second day. After the course wrap, you need to take a break. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and drink enough water throughout the entire period of treatment with vinegar.

Progress of the procedure
In numerous photos of vinegar wrap on the Internet you can see that the procedure is not very complicated, it just takes some time.
First, take a clean cloth, preferably cotton; alternatively, you can take a bandage. It is soaked in the prepared mixture and rolled onto the problem area.
It is necessary to wind it in a spiral from the bottom up!
Then the top is wrapped with cling film. It is important not to compress the tissues and not to disrupt the natural blood circulation.
The final layer is a terry towel, blanket or warm blanket. You need to sweat and start all the processes that lead to weight loss and fat burning.
In terms of time, it is better to keep it for about 40 or 60 minutes, no more.
Although, judging by the reviews of vinegar wrap, some do not wash off the mixture for an hour and a half, it is better not to risk it, because the vinegar mixture contains organic acids, which, if used incorrectly, can leave a burn.
This, in turn, is a very unpleasant consequence that will interrupt the entire course for some time.
If any unpleasant sensations suddenly appear, you should immediately remove all layers and wash the mixture off your body. This may include symptoms such as: burning, severe tingling, dizziness and even deterioration in general well-being.
There is no need to endure heroically, the body signals unpleasant consequences.
During the normal course of the procedure, at the end we remove all layers. The blanket must be unwound and removed, and the film and bandage must be cut and discarded.
You should take a shower to completely wash off the vinegar mixture from your body.
Some sources recommend taking a soda bath, although this is also a controversial point, and after an acidic environment, immerse the body in an alkaline bath.
To soothe the skin and consolidate the effect, apply anti-cellulite cream as a finishing touch.
If irritation and burns occur, then the first remedy is panthenol, which, in principle, every woman has in her medicine cabinet.
It is important to understand that on the day of the wrap, a lot of water is lost from the body, so you should try to replenish the lack of fluid and reduce the consumption of sugar and salt.
You can’t stop at just one wrap; to achieve a good effect, you should carry out a course; there are approximate calculations: 10 sessions = minus 1 clothing size!
