That is why start with a consultation with a doctor. And only after the exclusion of all restrictions, proceed to fragrant procedures. For chocolate wrapping, doctors indicate such contraindications:

6 rules of procedure

Like any cosmetic procedure, chocolate wrapping requires a few simple rules. When they are followed, efficiency is enhanced, and the body is protected from negative consequences. Analyzing the reviews of women and the results of the procedures, cosmetologists compiled a list of six recommendations.

1. Choose the right time. Chocolate wrapping is not recommended on a full stomach. If you recently had a meal, then you need to wait two to three hours, and then proceed to the procedures.
2. Prepare the skin. To improve the effect of chocolate on the epidermis, it is necessary to clean it as efficiently as possible. To do this, take a shower using a scrub. The latter can be prepared on the basis of a gel by adding a pinch of ground coffee to it. Light peeling not only helps cleanse the skin from the dead layer, but also provides pore opening.
3. Apply the mixture correctly. Flavored chocolate is distributed on the surface of the skin in an even layer, approximately 2-3 mm. To enhance absorption, make light massage movements. In problem areas, a thicker layer of chocolate is recommended.
4. Create a greenhouse effect. This recommendation applies only to hot wraps. To create a similar effect, it is necessary to wrap areas of the body coated with chocolate, cling film. Insulate the top with a blanket, a woolen scarf. Such a "greenhouse" accelerates the breakdown of subcutaneous fat and enhances the smoothing process of cellulite. If cold wrapping is used, then they do not resort to the help of cellophane. The body should be completely open and in contact with air.
5. Adhere to the recommended duration. Chocolate wrap is kept for about 30-40 minutes. When discomfort occurs, the mixture is washed off ahead of time. If the body tolerates chocolate procedures well, then you can increase the exposure time, but it should not exceed one and a half hours.
6. Observe the correct frequency. With pronounced cellulite, chocolate wrapping can be done two to three times a week. If the orange peel is only outlined, then one procedure per week is enough. For prevention, you can pamper yourself with fragrant wraps two to three times a month.One course usually consists of 8-12 procedures.

Reviews: “What a cool thing!”

I decided to try the chocolate wrap when I saw on the Internet a recipe for its preparation and positive reviews about this procedure. In the salons, this procedure is quite expensive, and at home you can treat yourself almost for nothing. You need to take cocoa powder, only without additives! Without sugar, cream and the like! Pour 200 grams into a bowl, add about 250 ml. water, mix everything well, there will be such a rather tight consistency as chocolate paste about. Add a spoon there olive oil (you can add a special anti-cellulite, or some etheric ones, the main thing is not to overdo it with etheric ones, a few drops are enough), also sometimes add a spoonful of honey, mix everything well. I wrap the fish in a towel and carry it with me to the shower. Before the procedure, you need to clean the skin, scrub it well, rinse, wipe it off, then apply chocolate on your hands to problem areas, and you can apply it to the whole body. Distribute evenly and wrap with cling film. After that, I put on thermo shorts, then turned into a sheet, which I do not mind, went to bed and still covered with a warm blanket. In this mask was about 40 minutes - 1 hour. After the procedure, the skin acquires a light pleasant shade of tan, becomes moisturized and smells delicious. I like. The skin transforms, shines, becomes more elastic and tan by the way. Pronounced cellulite will certainly not completely disappear, but will become less noticeable. She also noticed that chocolate acts, even on the body, as an antidepressant, the mood rises. And if this wrap is used in a complex of procedures or combined with sports, diet, then the result will definitely be even better.

Chocolate wrap is good for cellulite. Once I talked with a beautician about this, she said that after all, this is more a relaxation than a visible benefit. But the thing is nice, it smells good. If sweet tooth, then generally kayfonete.

Recently I went with my friend to the SPA salon, at first I went without much desire, the salon is not cheap and money was out of luck as luck would have it. A friend is not afraid of her subscription, but I did not want to fall into the mud at all. : D So I chose what is cheaper “chocolate wrap”. What a cool thing I want to tell you! After such “shock therapy”, one will feel that the cellulite has “melted”, the body has cleansed, the skin has acquired an even shade, which means that the mood has improved. In addition, metabolic and metabolic processes improve. In general, “shock therapy” is our way!
