The Wrap *does it work*

Today during my break at work I was on pintrest and I saw this body wrap that is supposedly supposed to make you loose an inch around your waist,arm, leg or wherever you would like in one night. I am kind of skeptic on it. Here is what you do you want to put lotion let's just say on your stomach. The lotion should have an ingredient in it that you find on the beach than you put some on don't rub it in though. Then you wrap your stomach with plastic wrap then you wrap it with an ace wrap and wear it overnight. It claims that you are supposed to lose an inch overnight. Well after doing some research I found that there is a company that actually sells this. The one I have found on pinterest is supposedly a do it yourself one. I was on WebMd and they said that if the wrap did you make you lose inches it would only be temporary. You can't physically loose inches forever just by wrapping yourself up. It would only be good for special occasions. Like a day at the beach or a wedding. The inches will come back within 2-3 days. 

Body wraps aren't anything new. They have been around for a while. Before they used linen sheets in the 1980-90s then as they become more popular they started using plastic wrap or thermal blankets. It also makes you sweat a lot so you’re advised to drink a lot of water. There are also different kinds of wraps. There is the moisturizing wrap which you use lotion on the area and then wrap it. Then there is the detox wrap which has seaweed or mud so there is more of pulling action. Then there is the slimming wrap. It uses smaller pieces and wraps them tighter around your body. Then there is the cellulite wrap that uses a lot herbal stuff. Although the wrap doesn't get rid of cellulite or dimples in the skin it just may temporarily make them look better.

If you do decide to try this there are a few things I should warn you about. Using a wrap cannot take the place of eating healthy and exercising. It won't make you lose weight permanently. Also sense you sweat a lot when you are wearing the wrap it is good to stay hydrated.
