Step 2

Place your wrapping strips in the basin of warm water unless you are using plastic wrap.

Step 3

Take a long, warm shower to open your pores so the wrapping solution can seep in. Leave the shower running while you apply the wrap to help keep your pores open.

Step 4

Apply the solution to whatever part of your body you are wrapping. Wrap in an upward direction with the strips. If you are using the sheet, you may want to wrap a second dry layer on top.

Step 5

Now, just lay down and rest for 30 minutes. Put on some relaxing music. Set your alarm clock in case you fall asleep.

Step 6

Remove the strips and shower using lukewarm water. Only shower with lukewarm water for a couple of days so your pores stay closed to allow the wrap to work.

Step 7

Take a very warm shower on the third day to open your pores and the accumulated toxins will be released.

Tip

Add any kind of essential oil you like for additional relaxation benefits.

Warning

Do a small test area on your inner arm first to make sure you will not have any sensitivities to the ingredients.
