Step 2: Wrap it up!

Wrap parts of your body with your cling wrap, this can be tricky so you can ask someone for help. Don’t wrap too tight or too loose, you will feel if it is. Go around the area several times until you feel that it will hold in place. Yes, you’d want the skin to be compressed, but not to the point that it feels uncomfortable or it’s cutting off blood circulation.
You can leave the DIY body slimming wrap for an hour, a few hours, or even overnight. That really depends on you. But be reminded, the effectiveness of these DIY body slimming wraps will differ from one person to another. But if it does work for you, you’ll enjoy firmer and toner skin.

In addition to coconut oil, there are other awesome recipes you can make as DIY body slimming wraps. Here are some of the most trusted recipes to help you lose a bit of weight and reduce cellulite.
1. Clay Body Wrap Slimming Gel
| Bentonite clay is a good ingredient for DIY body slimming wraps because of its ability to attract dirt and impurities that clog and stretch your skin. This recipe doesn’t just help you slim down, it detoxifies the skin as well. So how do you make it?
Mix 1/2 cup of natural Bentonite clay, 2 tbsp. of sea salt, 1/4 cup Aloe vera gel, and 1/4 castor oil into a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until you achieve a pasty mixture. You can add water if the mixture is too thick. Next, apply the mixture on the area you want to detox and slim down and then cover it with a large sheet of towel for an hour. Rinse off with warm water and apply moisturizer. You can opt to leave the wrapping with this one, but I’d prefer to still use a plastic cling wrap just to avoid a mess.
Note: Please do not use castor oil if you’re pregnant or menstruating, you can simply replace it with coconut oil or olive oil.
2. Seaweed Cellulite Body Wrap

When it comes to cellulite, the best weapon to use is seaweed or natural kelp! It’s packed with every vitamin and mineral required to fight off cellulite, leaving skin dimple-free.
To make this anti-cellulite body wrap, mix 1 cup seaweed powder (all-natural), 3 tbsp. of Olive or Almond oil, and 2 cups water. You can also add anti-cellulite oils like rosemary, fennel or juniper. Once you’ve mixed everything and it looks like mud, you can add the essential oils. Apply a thin layer of the mixture on your body and then wrap with plastic wrap.
