Blue clay slimming wraps

On the women's website “Beautiful and Successful” we have already talked about how blue clay is used for washing hair, as well as for taking rejuvenating baths. Today we will talk about how blue clay affects the skin.

In particular, we will figure out how to do a blue clay wrap for cellulite and for weight loss, and also study reviews of how effective these procedures are.

Features of the composition and properties of blue clay

The clay is mined at a depth of more than 20 meters and is repeatedly purified from various impurities in a special way. It goes on sale in the form of a blue-gray powder.

Sometimes a bright blue or turquoise powder is found - in this case, the manufacturer adds other cosmetic components to the clay, for example, algae.

Doctors, cosmetologists and traditional medicine practitioners know about the exceptional usefulness of its composition and properties. Blue clay contains more trace elements and mineral salts than any of the healthiest fruits or vegetables.

Potassium, magnesium, manganese, oxides of iron, copper, zinc, silver ions, aluminum, radium, nitrogen, phosphate - this is not a complete list of what cosmetic clay can share with our body.

I would like to note an important feature - all useful compounds and elements are in the most convenient form for absorption.

The effect of clay when applied to the skin is extremely beneficial:

the skin is nourished - clay saturates it with the entire spectrum of essential microelements;
the skin is deeply cleansed;
skin blood circulation improves;
swelling goes away, lymph flow improves;
excess fluid is removed, and along with it the products of metabolism and decay;
healthy color and radiance are restored, pallor goes away;
acne, inflammation, peeling are cured;
pores narrow and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized;
wrinkles are smoothed out and new ones are prevented from appearing;
elasticity and tone of the skin are restored;
The breakdown of subcutaneous fat and cellulite deposits is accelerated.

Choosing clay

To prepare mixtures for wraps, different clays are used: white, red, green, blue, black... Each of them has its own characteristics.

White. Wraps with such clay are the “hottest”, because it has a high heat capacity. White clay enhances microcirculation in tissues better than others. But this wrap is not suitable for everyone. If you have dry skin, look for another option - white clay will dry it out even more.
Red. A good option for those who would like to rejuvenate their skin - this wrap stimulates cellular renewal processes. In addition, it is believed that red clay promotes the process of breaking down adipose tissue, so those losing weight will certainly like wraps with it. A nice bonus is that this clay perfectly cleanses the skin.
Pink. Made from a mixture of red and white. The golden mean – cleanses, rejuvenates, relieves irritation, stimulates lipolysis, but does not warm the skin too much. This mixture has a good effect on blood vessels and effectively strengthens their walls.
Green. Wraps with such clay can be called multifunctional. It can slow down the aging process, dries oily skin well, and also acts as a scrub. After this wrap, the skin will get rid of dead cells and will look radiant and rejuvenated.
Yellow. Tones the skin, improves its color. Like green, it exfoliates keratinized particles of the epidermis well, and like red, it rejuvenates the skin. It is considered one of the best remedies to combat orange peel.
Blue clay is a record holder for the content of useful substances. It simultaneously has both cleansing and detox properties, and at the same time has shown itself to be excellent in the fight against cellulite deposits in problem areas. Blue clay owes its final quality to silicon. It is necessary for the proper functioning of connective tissue, and it is because of its defects that the notorious tubercles form under the skin. In addition, this type of clay is considered the most environmentally friendly.
Black clay is valued for its ability to improve lymph flow, which is also very valuable in the fight against cellulite. The reason for the formation of “orange peel” is stagnation in the subcutaneous fat tissue. Because of them, decay products and excess liquid accumulate in the cells, stretch their walls, and those same protrusions-tubercles appear. Acceleration of lymph flow, which is facilitated by the use of black clay in wraps, accelerates the process of removing decay products, the skin is smoothed, and volumes are reduced. In addition, black clay relieves inflammation, improves the appearance of the skin, making it elastic and velvety.

Clay is the main, but far from the only component of the wrapping mixture. In principle, you can get by with just that. But to enhance the effect, a variety of ingredients can be added to the clay. For example, olive oil, sour cream, cream and egg yolks will help moisturize dry skin or protect normal skin from drying out with an “aggressive” type of clay. To further warm the fabrics, add cinnamon or pepper to the clay.

Green clay is the most valuable and multifunctional component of body wraps

Algae, which are also famous for their ability to get rid of cellulite and extra centimeters, can also be added to mixtures for wraps. To enhance the exfoliating effect, the main ingredient should be strengthened with coffee grounds, and you can nourish the skin with chocolate. And this is not a complete list of everything that can be added to clay. Mineral water, milk, kefir, yogurt, honey - all these ingredients can also be used! It all depends on what exactly your skin needs right now.

Blue clay for body benefits

For centuries, blue clay has been widely used to care for the skin of the face, body, hair, and also to treat certain diseases. Among these diseases, clay wraps are successfully used as an aid to get rid of obesity and cellulite.

Slimming wraps made from blue clay are used in cosmetology centers and health resort boarding houses. They are in great demand and help people become healthier and more beautiful.

By purchasing cosmetic clay powder at a pharmacy or supermarket, you can make blue clay wraps at home. It is “cheap and cheerful”, as well as easy and useful.

An incentive to spend a little of your time for your benefit will be smoother skin on the thighs and buttocks and closer proximity to the desired curves of the body.

Caution when using pink clay

Use pink clay if you are confident in its quality and there is no discomfort during and after the procedure. If you bought somewhere in the transition, think about whether you need unpleasant consequences.

Pink clay is a mixture of white and red, so it is very active.

It is better not to use it for people with heart problems, oncology, or viral diseases. It is not recommended to make masks and wraps with red clay for pregnant girls, as well as during menstruation. If there are cuts, burns, or dermatological diseases in the active phase, we do not use clay. As you can see, there are not many contraindications, but you should not neglect them.

Which wrap to choose - hot or cold

It is preferable to choose hot wraps for weight loss from blue clay. Cold wrap results in reducing body volume are more modest, but the benefits are no less.

A distinctive feature of hot wraps is to retain heat in the treated area and enhance the warming effect of the mixture used. This is achieved by the following points:

The mixture for the procedure is used warm;
after applying the mixture to the skin, the treated areas are wrapped in ordinary cling film;
It is recommended to wear warm clothing or a blanket over the film.

Recommendations for the use of clay mixtures

In order to arrange everything like in the best spa, and not make mistakes even in the smallest detail, there are a number of simple rules for using blue clay for the body.

Do hot wraps for weight loss from blue clay when 2 hours have passed since your last meal.
When preparing clay mixtures, do not use metal objects to prevent oxidation.
For the mixture, use purified, distilled, mineral water without gases or filtered. Do not use hard water - to soften, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 liter to the water.
Use only freshly prepared mixture for procedures.

Apply the mixture using a wide brush to previously cleansed and scrubbed body skin - this will significantly improve the effect of its effect.
Some hot wraps can noticeably “sear” the skin - wash off when you can no longer tolerate the burning, but no more than 40 minutes. Do not keep for more than 40 minutes - this can cause dehydration of the skin, and some mixtures with mustard and red pepper can leave a burn on the skin.
Rinse off the mixture with running warm water; It is convenient to use a soft foam sponge. If only a mixture of clay and water was applied to the skin, then there is no need to use soap. If the mixture contains additional components, wash it off with soap or shower gel.
After a shower, dry your skin and apply anti-cellulite cream - this will enhance the effect of the wrap. If this is not the case, use a moisturizer - this is especially necessary for dry and dehydrated body skin.
If the procedures are well tolerated, you can repeat hot wraps no more often than every other day. In other cases, after 2 days.
The general course of wraps with blue clay for weight loss is up to 14 procedures. Then they pause for 7-10 days and, if desired, repeat the course.

General recommendations for performing body wraps at home

A full course of clay wraps includes 10–12 procedures, performed every other day. A repeat series of sessions can be carried out six months later.
Clay wraps can be cold (the temperature of the composition is equal to room temperature) or hot (the mixture is heated to 36–38 ° C). Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, you may prefer one or another option. If there are no health problems, it is recommended to alternate hot wraps with cold ones.
When choosing a suitable composition recipe, you should take into account the individual characteristics of the skin and body.
Before a course of wraps, it is advisable to consult a doctor, especially if you have any chronic diseases.

Clay wrap recipes for weight loss

We offer a selection of recipes that maximize the reduction of body fat at home.

Mixtures for those who like it “hot” - with red pepper or mustard. These components in blue clay slimming wraps have an irritating and warming effect on the skin, creating a so-called sauna effect under the film.

The effect of a sauna is an extremely useful thing for those losing weight and not only. In a short time, the treated areas of the body warm up as much as possible.

As a result, excess fluid is removed from the body, the process of breakdown of fat deposits is stimulated, and the body is cleansed of stagnation and toxins.

The only downside to these recipes is a burning sensation in the areas treated with the mixture. For thin skin, this burning sensation can be truly unbearable.

In this case, there are other recipes that help reduce body volume. A mixture for wraps with seaweed, essential oils, and cinnamon is “softer” and more gentle.

Clay mixture with red pepper

Compound:

60 gr. or 4 table. spoons of clay powder;
1 teaspoon red pepper;
water.

Choose ground red hot pepper. Do not replace it with sweet ground pepper, as the sauna effect will not work.

Mix blue clay with pepper and add water while stirring. The mixture should be thick and not runny, without lumps. Apply the mixture, wrap it in film, leave for 30-40 minutes, then wash off with soap.

Clay and mustard mixture recipe

Compound:

60 gr. or 4 tablespoons of blue clay;
1 teaspoon mustard;
water.

We make the mixture and wrap according to standard recommendations.

Clay mixture with seaweed

Compound:

50 gr. clay powder;
2 tablespoons of powder or crushed dry kelp;
water.

The peculiarity of this recipe is that the seaweed requires special preliminary preparation. Half an hour before the procedure, pour the required amount of kelp with 50 ml of water heated to 60 degrees and leave to swell.

Before the procedure, dilute the clay powder with water to a thick mass and then mix with the swollen algae. Now the mixture is ready - apply, wrap, leave for 40 minutes and rinse.

Cleansing

Clay is used to remove toxins and stored products from the intestines. It is an excellent adsorbent. The main advantage of clay is that it only gets rid of excess, while saturating the body with useful substances. This promotes cellular turnover. It affects blood vessels, blood, muscles and ligaments.

To cleanse the body, you should follow these recommendations:

Dilute half a teaspoon in a cup of boiled water.
Drink on an empty stomach in the morning and at night.
After 7 days, the amount of clay is increased to 1 spoon, gradually increasing to a tablespoon.
After 21 days, the solution should be replaced with balls. The mixture is made so thick that it can be rolled into a 5x7 mm sphere. You need to eat 10 - 15 pieces at one time.
The course of cleansing lasts a month.

There is also a second way to use clay. It has the opposite pattern. First, the balls are taken for a week. You need to eat 10-15 pieces at a time, after seven days their number is reduced by half. There should be three doses of balls per day. Two weeks later they are replaced with a suspension of a teaspoon of clay and a glass of water. And 7 days later, half of it dissolves in the cup.

It is important to follow a diet during cleansing, eat fresh and natural foods.

Anti-cellulite massage with clay

Anti-cellulite massage is an excellent solution for those who cannot afford a long preparatory stage. Blue clay for cellulite will help make the skin more elastic and toned, speed up metabolism, and remove excess fluid and harmful substances from the body.

Methodology

When carrying out the procedure, follow simple rules:

Before the massage, visit the bathhouse or take a hot shower - your skin will steam, which will allow beneficial substances to easily penetrate the skin. When steaming, rub the areas of skin that you will massage until red.
Prepare the clay mixture. To do this, dilute blue clay powder in water. Egg yolk, sea salt, coffee or cinnamon will help enhance the anti-cellulite effect of the resulting mass.
Apply the composition to the skin with massaging movements. Massage intensively so that problem areas of the skin do not have time to “cool down”. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes.

Recipe for anti-cellulite massage mixture

Clay powder+essential oils

50 g blue clay;
1 yolk;
1 tbsp olive oil;
5 drops of lemon oil.

Apply the resulting mass to the skin according to the method described above.

Technique

In order for the results of the procedure to be maximum, clay wrapping must include several mandatory steps performed in strict sequence. This allows you to properly prepare the skin and penetrate the beneficial substances from the wrapping mixture as deeply as possible.

Cleansing

Immediately before wrapping, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of previously applied cosmetics, dead skin cells and excess sebum. To do this, you need to take a shower or wash problem areas with water and gel, and then apply a scrub to them. The scrub can be bought ready-made or made at home by mixing ground coffee with cane sugar and a small amount of olive oil.

Gently rub the scrub in a circular motion over the entire problem area until light redness occurs. Then it should be thoroughly washed off with water and shower gel. This preparation will open and cleanse the pores and activate blood circulation. But be careful not to scratch the skin - strong pressure should be avoided.

Performing a wrap

Apply a pre-prepared mixture to the prepared area of the body, which includes blue clay for weight loss and additional active ingredients of your choice. The clay layer should be approximately 2-3 mm thick - this way it will not dry out too quickly, and detoxification will be maximum.

Carefully wrap the problem area with several layers of cling film or thermal film. It is important to ensure that the skin is not over-tightened. It is only necessary to prevent the evaporation of moisture without disrupting blood circulation.

Now it’s better to lie down quietly and lie down for about 20-30 minutes. To enhance the effect, you can cover yourself with a regular or thermal blanket.

Completing the procedure

After the required time has elapsed, you must carefully remove the film and very thoroughly wash the clay from the body. It is best to do this in the shower, since running water will flush out all the impurities and toxins that the cosmetic mixture has absorbed. If you use a bowl with a sponge, then the water must be changed several times.

Dry the body by blotting with a cotton or paper towel. Apply a moisturizing, firming or anti-cellulite cream to slightly damp skin using circular massage movements. The procedure must be repeated 2-3 times a week with a course of 10-15 procedures.

Clay baths for cellulite

A blue clay bath is a simple but effective way to look slim. With this procedure you will relieve fatigue after a busy day, cleanse and tighten your skin, and get rid of unnecessary subcutaneous fat.

Prepare your skin for a bath. To do this, steam the skin and clean it.
Fill the bath one third with water at room temperature (37-39 degrees).
Do the procedure no longer than 20 minutes, because... Taking baths is a strong strain on the heart and blood vessels.
While taking a bath, pinch the problem areas a little - the effect of the procedure will be greater.
