How to make your own chocolate wrap?


Today, products containing chocolate are widely used in cosmetology. The wrapping procedure is one of the most popular in beauty salons, because it is not only very pleasant, but also useful.

To make a chocolate wrap, you don’t have to visit expensive beauty salons, because everything can be done yourself at home. All components needed for the procedure can be purchased at almost any supermarket. During the home procedure, compositions that are prepared from natural and high-quality products will be used.

While carrying out this pleasant cosmetic procedure, you need to try to completely relax, so you need to set aside a little time so that no one interferes or distracts you.


To make homemade chocolate wrap you will need:
  • a wide gauze bandage, which can be purchased at a pharmacy;
  • cream with a lifting effect;
  • stretch film for wrapping itself, but simple food film can be used instead;
  • natural essential oils (you can choose your favorite oil);
  • a container for mixing the chocolate composition, but it should not be metal;
  • cocoa powder or dark natural chocolate;
  • scrub to pre-cleanse the skin;
  • a hair coloring brush or a food brush to apply the mixture to the skin.
Before proceeding directly to the chocolate wrap procedure, it is necessary to properly prepare the body so that the skin receives maximum benefit from the ingredients used. It is recommended to first take a warm bath, then scrub the entire body with a scrub, paying special attention to problem areas. For cleansing, you can use a mixture of sour cream and natural ground coffee.

Stages of chocolate wrapping


At home, chocolate wrapping is carried out according to the following scheme:
  1. Separately, apply the chocolate mixture to problem areas or the entire body in an even layer, the thickness of which should be several millimeters. To make your task easier, you should use a wide brush, so that the composition will be evenly distributed over the skin.
  2. To make the chocolate wrap more beneficial, a layer of cling film is placed on top of the chocolate mixture. Thanks to this action, there is a more enhanced penetration of the active, effective components of the nutritional composition into the skin cells. At the same time, the optimal temperature is maintained for a longer time and the thermal effect is prolonged. However, you should not tighten the film too much so as not to overtighten the skin.
  3. Then you need to put on warm clothes, lie down and cover yourself with a sheet and a blanket on top. Thanks to the creation of a slight sauna effect, the pores open much more actively and their cleansing occurs more quickly. At this moment, the removal of toxins accumulated in the body begins, rejuvenation occurs, and the elasticity, smoothness and velvety of the skin returns.
  4. After a certain time has passed (the duration of the procedure is determined taking into account what product is used, as a rule, it will take about 30–60 minutes), you need to remove the film, and the remnants of the chocolate mass are washed off with warm water.
Literally after the first chocolate wrap procedure, a positive result will be noticeable - the skin regains its lost tone, becomes velvety and soft to the touch, and the pleasant aroma of chocolate will be felt for several hours.

To get the maximum benefit, it is necessary to conduct a full course of chocolate wraps, which includes approximately 10–15 procedures (determined on an individual basis). After completing the entire course, this procedure can be performed once a week as a preventative measure and to consolidate the results obtained.

I already wrote earlier that at the moment The most common SPA procedure is chocolate wrap. Almost every beauty salon offers this procedure, but chocolate wrap can also be done at home, which is exactly what we will tell you about today. In addition, let us remind you what is useful in chocolate wrapping and why not everyone can use it.

Chocolate wrap is considered the best and, perhaps in the most pleasant way, get rid of cellulite, give the skin softness and velvety, and also rejuvenate it. During the chocolate wrapping process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated, which makes the skin more elastic and toned. Also happens cleansing skin from acne, pigment spots are reduced, their intensity and size.

By the way, during a chocolate wrap, not only the skin, but also the entire body is healed: cleansing of toxins occurs, and thanks to the unsurpassed aroma during this pleasant procedure, calms the nervous system and often the mood lifts.

Not only will help get rid of such an unpleasant phenomenon as Orange peel on problem areas, but also will give a relaxing effect, which will have a beneficial effect on morale.

As we said earlier, chocolate wrapping can be done quite easily at home. First of all, let us remind you that before any procedures, you need to cleanse the skin with a scrub to exfoliate dead cells and improve the penetration of beneficial substances into the skin.

For chocolate wrapping in SPA salons use special chocolate, intended specifically for cosmetic procedures. It can be purchased in specialized stores. But if you don’t have it, then for chocolate wrapping you should use regular chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%. Moreover, we emphasize that the higher the cocoa content in chocolate, the better.

Before starting the chocolate wrap procedure You should melt the chocolate in a water bath, but be sure to ensure that it does not boil. How much chocolate do you need? If you use it only for problem areas on the hips and buttocks, then you will need no more than one bar of chocolate, that is, 100 grams. But if you want to use it for the stomach and chest, then you should take a correspondingly larger amount of chocolate.

Followed by cleanse the skin with a scrub. Then apply chocolate to problem areas with light circular movements in a layer of at least 2 mm, wrap in cling film and leave for 15 minutes. It would be nice to relax at this time, listen to pleasant music and enjoy the wonderful aroma of chocolate. After the procedure, you should take a contrast shower.

Repeat chocolate wrap maybe 2-3 times a week.

Thanks to these procedures it is quite possible get rid of cellulite, lose weight And reduce body fat.

Although home wraps bring some results, professional cosmetic procedures are always more effective and enjoyable. Specialists know exactly which type of manipulation will help solve a specific problem, how to make it easier, faster and satisfy the client’s wishes.

For whom does it make sense to do a body wrap in a salon, what to expect from it and what type to choose, read on.

Such cosmetic manipulation involves applying an active composition to the body and exposing the treated area to different temperatures.

Thanks to this, the wraps in the salon act in two directions:

  1. Regardless of the components of the mixture for application, they improve the quality of the skin. The procedure can give it elasticity and firmness, smooth out the “orange peel” bumps, reduce the visibility of stretch marks, and make the surface of the thighs or abdomen smoother and softer. This effect is especially useful for those who are already actively and quickly losing weight. The course must be repeated every 10 kilograms lost, and then the skin will tighten more actively and will not sag.
  2. Wraps help you lose weight. For most people who are far from a healthy lifestyle or have certain diseases, part of the excess weight is represented by fluid retained by the body. The sauna effect, which is created by cling film and insulation, raising or lowering the temperature in other ways and the components of the mixture for the procedure that stimulate the outflow of lymph, eliminate swelling and lose a couple of centimeters in volume in just one session.

Of course, you won’t be able to lose all excess weight with body wraps alone. In any case, you will have to create a calorie deficit by changing your diet or introducing physical activity.

But as an additional step in a comprehensive approach to weight loss, wraps in the salon work great.

Kinds

Professional wraps are distinguished according to several parameters. The specific type is selected depending on the client’s needs, his skin type and body characteristics.

You may encounter cosmetic procedures that have:

  • different composition of the active mixture;
  • different “working” temperatures.

A correctly selected set of components affects the final result and helps not to harm integuments with different properties.

Chocolate

Chocolate can be a powerful weapon in the fight for an ideal figure. Just use it not for food, but for cosmetic procedures.

Works great for anti-cellulite purposes, tightens and softens the skin.

In authentic salon mixtures, the usual sweet bars are absent. The composition of chocolate body pastes by professionals for 1 session includes:

  • high-quality cocoa powder – 400 grams;
  • cocoa butter – 125 grams;
  • citrus oil – 4-5 drops.

You won’t be able to get the second ingredient everywhere and it’s not as cheap as we would like. That’s why at home this mixture is often replaced with melted chocolate and essential oil of any citrus fruit. But here you still have to look for real chocolate, made with cocoa butter and cocoa beans. So the savings on going to the salon are not very significant.

With seaweed

Algae-based wraps are much cheaper, and the ingredients for it are sold in every pharmacy and grocery supermarket.

To recreate the mixture at home you need:

  • 2 handfuls of fucus or kelp;
  • 5-6 milliliters of grapefruit or orange oil;
  • 10 drops of camphor oil;
  • the yolk of one chicken egg;
  • 3 tablespoons of honey.

The algae is steamed with hot water and allowed to swell. Afterwards, all that remains is to mix everything, distribute it over problem areas and cover with film. This wrap helps to remove swelling and a few centimeters on the hips, stomach, and arms.

results

The first results of body wraps in the salon are noticeable already during one procedure. First of all, such manipulation is extremely relaxing and helps relieve stress and fatigue physically and emotionally. After the session, the skin looks smooth and nourished, acquires an even color and elasticity.

The next day, people usually notice that there is no more swelling in the treated area. Along with the fluid, heaviness in the limbs disappears, more energy and the desire to move appear. During the first procedure, 0.5-2 centimeters are lost in volume.

By the end of the course, fat-burning wraps can remove up to 8-10 centimeters from problem areas, and when the procedure is combined with nutrition and sports, weight loss will be even more intense.

Anti-cellulite manipulations significantly smooth out the external manifestations of this aesthetic imperfection and tone the skin.

Contraindications

In addition to the enormous benefits, wraps are also known for their extensive list of contraindications.

The procedure is not performed if a person has:

  • cancer;
