5 secrets of honey wraps

In order for the honey wrap at home to work no worse than the salon, it is important to know 5 secrets of the sweet procedure.

1. Use only natural honey! It is impossible to buy in a store. And often grandmothers on the market offer a divorced "surrogate." Spend a few days searching, but find a natural product from the apiary. There are several ways to verify its authenticity. For example, drop a couple of drops of iodine on it. The mixture turned blue, which means it was mixed with starch or flour for density. You can add a couple of drops of vinegar essence. If the medus hissed, then it was “ennobled” with chalk. And if a white precipitate appeared during the addition of lapis in the mixture, then the natural product was mixed with sugar.
2. Remember contraindications. Honey is a strong allergen, so if you have a tendency to have an allergic reaction to this product, use other types of wraps (for example, mustard wrap for weight loss). You should not resort to procedures for women with varicose veins, diabetes, problems in the gynecological sphere, cardiovascular diseases.
3. Do not try to immediately cover the whole body.: Try the procedure first on the stomach and hips, and then spread it further.
4. Do not over tighten the film over the body. Often it slows down the blood flow so much that headaches, dizziness and fainting occur.
5. Perform the procedure at least 8-10 times with a frequency of 2-3 times a week. So you will notice and consolidate the effect that the honey wrap for weight loss has. If you attend the gym at the same time, reschedule the sweet spa the next day.
