Honey wrap at home - home honey wrap

The desire to be beautiful can make any woman use not only special cosmetic products for the skin, but also various "grandmother's recipes".So the honey wrap at home literally "surfaced" from the past and, adapting to modern conditions, became popular among the beautiful half of our humanity, returning youth and beauty to their skin.

Safety of honey wraps

However, do not immediately run to the store or to the market for a jar of honey. First, any kind of wrapping and applying any substances to the skin should be approached very carefully. After all, the skin is the largest organ, reaching the area( depending on the growth and volume of the person) in 1.5-2 square meters with weight up to 15% of the total mass of our body. At the same time, it helps the body to get rid of some products of its vital activity through sweat, feels, protects internal organs and. .. breathes. That's why any creams and ointments should be applied very carefully, so as not to clog once again its pores. In addition, the skin has many blood vessels, so the substances that get to its surface are absorbed rather quickly and spread throughout the body. This feature of the skin was known and used already in the Middle Ages. The truth is not only for medicinal purposes, but also for eliminating rivals, adding poison to the cream. So, if you do not want to get poisoned by your beloved body, perform a homemade honey wrap, using only quality products.

Honey is better at all to buy from beekeepers, and not from second-hand dealers in the market. To distinguish natural honey from counterfeiting, it is necessary to add a little bit of water( distilled) and 5-6 drops of iodine( the blue solution "reports" the presence of additives - flour or starch) in a small amount. Adding a few drops of ordinary acetic essence to the spoon of honey and hearing a familiar hiss( this is carbon dioxide released), you can be sure that honey has been "ennobled" with chalk. But to detect the presence of granulated sugar will have to add a 10-percent solution of honey lapis( alarm signal - precipitation of white precipitate).

Store the honey in a closed glass bowl, in the dark, at a temperature of about 10 ° C.

Secondly, there are a number of diseases in which such cosmetic procedures are contraindicated: increased pressure, varicosity, cardiovascular and "female" diseases, diabetes, blood diseases and some others. It is not recommended to perform honey wraps during pregnancy and various skin damages( so as not to infect the infection).If you are allergic to honey or other beekeeping products( and also to the substances you wanted to add), instead of cosmetic effects, you can get swelling, itching, redness, lacrimation and other "delights".

It is not necessary to perform honey wraps and if you feel unwell, starting infectious diseases or in hot weather.

Thirdly, if during the procedure you feel discomfort, immediately remove the film and wash off all the substances that have been applied to the body. It's possible that you tightened your skin too tightly, reducing blood flow.

And one more caution. Do not try to wrap everything in the film, trying to "cover" the whole body at once. To begin with it is worth trying a wrap on a small area. And only after a completely positive effect, increase the "sweet" area( for example, cover the hips and stomach).

Pros of the honey wrap

Honey, like any other product of beekeeping, is undoubtedly useful to a person. It contains a whole collection of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and antioxidants( only about 50 different substances) that can "energize" our body. In addition, honey does a good job of improving immunity, normalizing metabolism, eliminating swelling and improving blood circulation. Skin under the influence of honey formulations return the former tone and elasticity, lost with age. In addition, you can apply a honey wrap to lose weight and get rid of cellulite. A scars and stretch marks, "subjected" to the honey procedure, decrease in size and become less noticeable.

Honey wrap is also recommended for use in cases where there is an increased weight loss( for example, when doing fitness).In order not to overwork your body, perform a wrap on the day after class( if there is a 1-2 day gap between them).This will allow the skin to tighten up in those places that would have grown ugly after the disappearance of the fatty interlayers.

How to make honey wrap

Now a little about how to properly make a honey wrap at home.

The first step is to prepare a homogeneous mixture for the procedure. It can be:

• pure honey - for a better application on the skin, lightly melt it on a water bath;
• honey with mustard( has a warming effect) - fall asleep in a small bowl of two tablespoons of mustard( dry), a teaspoon of shallow salt, apple cider vinegar and sugar, carefully mix everything to the state of a homogenous gruel( if necessary, add a little water) andleave for 1 day indoors( not in the refrigerator), then add the same volume of heated honey;
• honey with milk, or with yoghurt, or with orange juice, or with lemon juice in a ratio of 2 to 1( note: "or" rather than "together", and do not forget to thoroughly beat the resulting mixture);
• honey with any vegetable oil( olive, castor or burdock).

By the way, castor oil works very well on the hair and eyelashes( use a carefully washed brush from the carcass), and improves the condition of the marigold( lightly rub the oil in the nail plate).And the compositions of olive oil and fresh apple cider vinegar eliminate the dryness of the skin, giving it velvety( after the bath or shower, apply a foam sponge and wait until completely absorbed).

The second step is to cleanse the skin with soap and soft scrubs. Here you can use both store compounds and self-scrubs( for example, adding coffee grounds to milk for the body).This allows you to "clear" the way nutrients, removing the dead cells of the upper layer of the skin and the dirt that fell on it during the day. Try to make a honey wrap in the bath, after visiting the steam room( washing away all the sweat that has come out).

The third step is applying the prepared honey mixture to the problem zone and "wrapping" it for half an hour or an hour with food polyethylene film( to create a "greenhouse" effect).If there is a desire, you can try to cover this place with a blanket.

Fourth step - remove the film, gently massage the skin, and then rinse thoroughly the remnants of the mixture and dry the skin with a towel. Try not to eat heavy food for an hour after the procedure( restrict juice or green tea), and do not go out into the street, especially if it's too hot or cold.

How often to wrap

If you have taken on your appearance - do not throw everything in half the way. Repeat the honey wrap at least 8-10 times with a break of 2-3 days. This is the only way to fix the effect that appears after the procedure. If desired, the mixture can be alternated. It is possible that eventually you will have your own "sweet" recipe.
