Suddenly Slender Body Wrap

[Caleymarie]

I was wondering if anyone out there has tried this. I am not looking for a "quick fix" , but it seems like it could help tighten up saggy skin left from dropping some weight. I was thinking of getting a massage as a treat, but I might try this instead. Here is the site!

I have a friend who does body wraps in a spa and she thinks they're great. The effects don't last forever though usually. But it's great for a while and I believe there are some lingering effects.

I was reading through the site...how does this work? Is it sort of like the skin-firming creams but way, way stronger? Sounds like fun!

With the wraps they actually apply a solution and then literally wrap you up like a mummy. People usually lose a couple of inches from this.

I think I might try it before my vacation! It seems interesting.

I've thought about those things but they seem too expensive for results that aren't long lasting. I'd rather have a massage, for sure =)

I might try it before a major event or something where it would be good to lose a few inches for a night.

It looks like fun, but how expensive is it? I couldn't find any price list or anything.

This is what I posted ina previous thread (here http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=25070)
The results are permanent and the only cost is the brush or loofah. I do it every day and it feels just GREAT!

Self-Massage for loose skin prevention


I have noticed a few posts on here where people, mostly newcomers to Atkins, are very concerned they may have a lot of loose skin once they have lost their weight.

Skin condition is influenced by a lot of factors including age, genetics, climate etc. But there are things you can do to maximize the elasticity of your skin.

The most effective way to reshape your body and condition your skin is massage. This is the reason those super-expensive cellulite creams work - because you massage the skin. It is the massage that breaks up the fat in the cells, not the 'magic' potion you pay all that money for. There are 2 methods that are easy to do yourself.


Dry brush skin massage.
I used skin brushing when I lost a lot of weight in the 1980s. I used a nail brush (you have to find one that is right for your skin). I used to dry brush before I showered, using a circular motion, very gently on sensitive areas. You can even do your face if you are extra careful. A fine dust will appear on your skin, this is the top layer being rubbed off. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to moisturise after the shower. You can just use any old cream but you MUST do it. I use cheap Sorbolene from the supermarket and add a couple of drops of fragrant oils - usually lavender as it helps my itches. You skin will look better, and feel fabulous, if you do it regularly - I used to do it twice a week.


Shower massage with a loofah.
Now I use a nylon loofah thingy in the shower (it is made of a knitted nylon stuff in a frilly gathered rosette on a string - I buy it in the supermarket). I get wet, wash hair if necessary, turn the water off, squirt some liquid wash stuff (mine's a non-soap one due to skin itchies) on the loofah, and rub myself all over for 5 mins or so, using that circular motion. I rub really hard, espoecially on areas such as upper arms, stomach and thighs and buttocks, and even do my face (but gently). Then rinse. It feels really nice, and I have hardly any cellulite and only the faintest of stretch marks, even though I'm still classed as obese by any standards. Replace your loofah every couple of months. And once again, moisturising afterwards is very beneficial.

Hope this is helpful to everyone.

I would rather just get some underwear that sucks my body in, then I can reuse it and the effects won't wear off.

Wow, a massage sounds lovely now.

Dry brushing is fabulous and the most natural way to lift and tone saggy skin. As well, it is a natural facial wrinkle reducer.
Just be patient and consistant

I am lost on this one. What kind of nail file is she using? One that is metal? Help.
