Algae wraps: ways.
Algae wraps can be cold and hot.
With hot wrapping algae , blood circulation is activated, blood vessels are dilated, the process of splitting fats is stimulated. This method allows you to actively combat cellulite and various forms of obesity.
Cold wraps with algae are often done locally, that is, they process a certain part of the body. Thus, it is possible to remove swelling, improve the outflow of lymph, reduce the feeling of fatigue.
Also now, a contrasting wrap of algae is popular. First, a hot wrap is done, and then a cooling compress of algae is applied to the same site of the body. This method of contrasting wrapping is often used in the treatment of cellulite.
Anti-cellulite wrap at home.
The procedure for wrapping algae can be carried out at home. Before wrapping it is necessary to thoroughly clean the skin. The greatest effectiveness is achieved if you apply the procedure immediately after visiting the sauna or bath. In this case, maximally expanded pores contribute to the most profound and abundant penetration of minerals into the skin.
For cold wraps, algae (this can be, for example, kelp) is soaked for two to three hours in water at a temperature of 18-20 degrees. And for hot procedures it is necessary to soak the algae for half an hour in hotter water - 36-38 degrees. In both cases, algae are taken at a rate of 100 grams per liter of water.
Most often for the correction of the figure in the hip and waist zone, to combat cellulite and burn fat recommended hot wrap. In addition to providing deep penetration of active components of algae, it allows to strengthen the effect of other procedures. Also, hot wraps are good if you need to strengthen the skin of the chest and flabby skin areas.
The procedure for performing wrapping procedures is usually the following:
The soaked algae in the form of a compress are superimposed on the whole body or problem areas for 40-60 minutes (the procedure time can be gradually increased). For more comfortable sensations during the procedure, you can make a layer of gauze or cotton fabric, but it is also possible to apply algae directly to the cleansed skin.
When wrapping algae anti-cellulite effect can be strengthened by covering the treated areas with a plastic wrap, towel or wrapping a thermal blanket. After algae removal, it is necessary to wipe the skin with infusion, left over from soaking, or take a shower.
The procedure of wrapping it is desirable to do in the evening (approximately from 18 to 22 hours), since it is at this time that the skin is most susceptible and maximally absorbs mineral substances. Usually a good effect is achieved when carrying out such procedures by courses. One course may include six to twelve procedures performed daily or every other day (alternating with other curative effects on the skin). Between courses there is a break of 2-4 months. A tangible result is achieved when the procedures are conducted at least once every 2-3 months.
The used mass of kelp can be placed in water and used for another four to five days. It is possible to reapply the soaked laminaria two times.
Infusion of algae.
After weakening the algae, a concentrated solution remains, which can be used to make nutrients, add to water while bathing, and also to cleanse the face and neck (ice cubes can be prepared that are useful for rubbing the skin of the neck and face).
- The resulting infusion can be used for wiping, both after wrapping, and as an independent procedure (the whole body is intensively scraped with infusion of algae and covered with a sheet for forty minutes).
- Or, for example, having taken a bath with infusion of kelp, do not rush to wipe the skin with a towel, let it dry yourself.
- Withering skin can be easily toned with ice. Having frozen the infusion of kelp, every morning, wipe the face and chest with circular motions.
