Body wraps are among the most useful natural treatments available today for getting rid of cellulite fast. Seaweed body wraps are at the top of the wrap popularity list simply because they are the most affective. The active ingredients in seaweed give you wonderfully soft, glowing skin in addition to reducing cellulite. See our sections on Body Wrap Basics and Mud Body Wraps for more valuable information about getting rid of cellulite.

What Are Seaweed Body Wraps?
A body wrap is basically a process of spreading an active substance on the skin, in this case seaweed, and then wrapping it with either some sort of cloth bandage or cling wrap, to seal in heat and moisture and promote the activity of dynamic ingredients. Warmth is a very important factor when doing a body wrap. Basically the warmer you and the atmosphere are, the better the effect of your treatment. Most seaweed body wraps stay on for about forty-five minutes to one-hour-and-fifteen minutes.

What Else?
To get the most out of seaweed body wraps, it is a good idea to get skin cell metabolism rolling by some sort of friction. A massage is excellent, and many professionals swear by the effectiveness of skin brushing. For this you will need a long-handled, natural bristle brush. For directions on how to do it, see the section on Skin Brushing on our page on Cellulite Treatment.

A body wrap will trigger the release of some pretty nasty toxic cell debris into your system. Make sure they're all flushed right out by drinking a lot of water.
