Homemade chocolate wrap recipes

Benefit

The composition of chocolate allows you to make wraps using this product as effective as possible.

• The wrap is used against cellulite due to the property of chocolate to give elasticity to the skin due to the vitamins (retinol, tocopherol, niacin, nicotinic acid) contained in cocoa beans and microelements.
• Wraps will give quick results if you use them for weight loss. According to reviews from supporters of this procedure, you can lose up to 3 cm in volume in a month.
• The skin not only becomes elastic, but also smooth and velvety, due to the fact that collagen production is accelerated.
• Chocolate wrap is also used to prevent the occurrence of cellulite.
• The chocolate composition itself smells pleasant, so it does not cause discomfort when applying it.
• The number of acne on the skin is significantly reduced, pigmentation is reduced, and the color becomes even.
• The drainage property of cocoa allows you to remove waste and toxins from the body, thereby normalizing metabolism.

Cocoa for weight loss

As for the weight loss wrap recipe with cocoa, the wrap itself is unlikely to help here, especially if we are talking about a lot of excess weight, but if you follow a diet, such a procedure will make your difficult path to your ideal weight easier.

Due to the diet, the body will begin to use subcutaneous fat reserves and break down fats, and cocoa will significantly speed up the process of removing the products of such breakdown from the body.

Thus, the process of weight normalization will be accelerated, and cocoa butter will help maintain the elasticity of the skin and prevent it from becoming flabby, which often happens with a sharp reduction in weight.

Know!

To effectively lose weight, in addition to diet, you need to combine chocolate wraps with other cosmetic procedures: gymnastics, massages, etc.

How to do it correctly?

The basic recipe for chocolate wrap is often transformed, and the main ingredient is diluted with other components. But they are all carried out according to the same scheme, which is given below.

To make chocolate wrap at home you will need:

• chocolate with a mass fraction of cocoa of at least 70% (depending on which areas it is applied to and the total amount is calculated. For the hips and buttocks you will need a 100-gram bar);
• cling film;
• Body Scrub;
• terry towel.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Melt the required amount of chocolate. This process must occur slowly so that the beneficial and nutrients contained in the tile are not destroyed, so it is better to do this using a water bath. The chocolate liquid should not boil.

2. Clean wet skin using a homemade or store-bought scrub. It is better to take it with larger abrasive components in the composition. The better the skin is cleansed, the deeper the active ingredients of chocolate will penetrate, and the result will be achieved faster.

3. Apply a thick layer of chocolate mixture to the desired areas. It is more convenient to do this with a brush.

4. Wrap these places with cling film. At the same time, it is important not to pinch the limbs, but also not to wrap them loosely, otherwise the cellophane will fall off.

5. Wait 15-20 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the film.
7. Rinse off the chocolate mixture using a contrast shower.

8. Dry the skin with a terry towel.

The frequency of performing chocolate wraps is twice or thrice a week.

Tip: if you break the chocolate into small pieces, it will melt much faster.

Can I use the wrap at home?

The procedure gives such an effect provided that it is comprehensive. Cleansing the skin, wrapping, and massage together increase the tone of the body. If you just buy a wrap and use it, the effect will be weak.

One of the most important parts of the session is the massage performed by a specialist. It lasts for an hour and awakens every cell of the body. Complete relaxation also has a positive effect. You should not take your phone turned on into the salon with you, or communicate on social networks during the session. Internal mood also affects the result.

You can undergo this pleasant procedure at the Mai Tai salon, where there are experienced specialists. The relaxing atmosphere of the salon will help you get the most out of your session.

Wrapping is carried out using special disposable materials. Today, masters use just such products because it is hygienic. Disposable materials allow you to quickly prepare the site for the procedure. As for massage and wrapping compositions, they (as expected) have a pronounced chocolate aroma.

Recipes

By adding excipients to the main component, you can achieve faster results. For this you can use ingredients that trigger metabolism, eliminate cellulite and smooth the skin. Among folk recipes you can also find many nutrients that will improve skin condition.

Honey-chocolate wrap

In one container, melt a slab of the main component and 2 large spoons of bee honey. Remove from heat while the mixture is still warm, add 15 grams of peach oil.

Cocoa + seaweed

Pour 4 tablespoons of dry seaweed (you can buy them at a pharmacy or cosmetics department) with hot water and leave for 2 hours. After this, pour 100-150 grams of cocoa powder into the liquid mass.

Oil mixture

Melt the chocolate bar. Remove from heat, add 2 tablespoons of peach oil and 5 drops of orange essential oil. The ether should be added to the mass when it has cooled slightly.

Cinnamon wrap

Crush a bar of dark chocolate into a container, and while melting, gradually add cinnamon powder (you will need a total of 2 large spoons).

Ginger + milk

Place the chocolate in a container, pour in half a glass of milk or cream (the fattier the milk liquid, the better), melt. Remove from heat, add a spoonful of ginger powder.

Tip: in recipes where milk is one of the ingredients, it can be replaced with dry cream. The skin will become velvety and soft.

Pepper Wrap

Add red hot pepper (a small spoonful of powder) to the melted chocolate mixture.

With almond oil

Melt the chocolate bar using the described method, add 20 grams of almond butter.

It should be noted that there are two types of chocolate wrap: warm and cold. The first type is the method described in the instructions. The cold procedure is different in that no film is used during it, which eliminates the thermal effect. Its advantages lie in its adaptation for people who cannot tolerate high temperatures and have particularly sensitive skin. The disadvantages are that they are less effective and that the composition unprotected by the film can stain furniture and other surrounding objects.

Care after wrap

The wrapping procedure also includes mandatory body care after it. Here are some tips that you can follow to achieve greater efficiency from film procedures:

• The final stage should be a contrast shower and application of cosmetics to the areas that were wrapped. If your skin is dry or sensitive, then a rich nourishing cream or body butter is suitable. To consolidate the result after a cold wrap, apply a gel or serum with menthol - it enhances the cooling effect. The same products, but with red pepper extract, are used after the hot version of the procedure.
• Activated metabolic processes occur even after the film is removed, so you should not overload yourself with homework or physical exercise. The optimal application option is before bedtime. The best solution in this case would be a recipe that includes a cup of soothing tea (with chamomile, lavender or mint) at night and a restful sleep.
• The procedure cannot be performed every day for the reason described above - the body must rest and recover between wrapping sessions. A break of 1 day (or better yet, 2) will give much better results than applying the chocolate mixture daily.

Chocolate wrap procedure in the salon

Chocolate thermal wrap is a complex procedure that includes exfoliation of the top layer of skin and application of a cocoa butter-based composition. It is also possible to accompany the procedure with a massage.

How to make chocolate wrap:

1. The specialist conducts a consultation with the client, then he is asked to put on disposable underwear.
2. Before applying the active composition, the skin is gently cleansed and polished with a scrub. This enhances the effect of the chocolate mask. Due to the fact that the keratinized scales of the dermis are removed, blood circulation improves, and the components of the wrap penetrate deeper into the tissue. If you additionally perform a relaxing or anti-cellulite massage, the effect will be even more pronounced.
3. The chocolate mass, heated to 37–40 degrees, is distributed over the skin in a dense, even layer.
4. To ensure the sauna effect, the body is wrapped in film and covered with a warm blanket. While the client lies with the wrap for half an hour, additional facial treatment can be done.
5. Finally, the wrap is washed off with a warm shower, and then a special serum, lotion or body cream is applied to the skin, which allows you to achieve maximum tightening and moisturizing effect.

Chocolate wrap can be done as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other body skin care programs.
