If you are ready to try a home body wrap treatment, purchasing the right body wrap supplies are essential.  No matter whether your goals are to lose inches, detoxify the body, or simply improve your skin, choosing high quality supplies is very important.

In this “definitive guide” to body wrap supplies, I will outline everything that you need to know about body wrap supplies including:

• Which supplies you need
• How to use them
• Where to find them

If this is your first body wrap treatment from home, you can use this post as a checklist to ensure that you don’t miss any of the essential components to an effective treatment.

So let’s begin…

What Body Wrap Supplies Do I Need To Get Started?

In order to be effective, a body wrap treatment can be very simple.  With that being said, there are a number of “essential” body wrap supplies that you will need in order to make your own home treatment.

The supplies that you will need include the following:

1. Exfoliating products
2. Body wrapping bandages
3. Body wrap formula
4. Sauna suit

Now, a little more detail on each of these “essential” body wrap supplies…

Exfoliating Products

Before you begin your body wrap treatment, it’s important that you condition your skin.  This will open the pores of your skin and allow it to absorb the nutrients from your body wrap formula.  Although an application of exfoliating cream will work, generally the easiest method is to use a dry skin brush and gently rub it on the skin in a circular motion.

Body Wrapping Bandages

Also know as “ACE” bandages, these are the same types of compression bandages used to wrap muscle and ligament injuries.  Although towels can be used, body wrap bandages offer the added benefit of compression.  They can be re-used many times and simply placed in the washing machine after use.

Body Wrap Formula

The body wrap formula that you apply to your skin is a very important.  You may choose to use a clay based formula that is applied to the skin as a thick paste, or a liquid formula that your body wrap bandages are soaked in before being applied to the skin.

Sauna Suit

The sauna suit or “sweat suit” is a plastic body suit used to trap in body heat and promote sweating.  Alternatively, one can use a bath robe or baggy sweat pants and a long sleeved sweat shirt, however, expect things to get messy!

Where Can I Find Body Wrap Supplies?

Most drug stores will carry the exfoliating products and compression bandages.  Where it get’s a little trickier is finding all of the ingredients needed for an effective body wrap formula.  Although health food stores often do carry a decent selection of essential oils that can be used, you will need either a clay or liquid herbal formula such as Aloe Vera which can be more difficult to find.

Fortunately we offer wholesale prices on all body wrap supplies, including all types of clay and liquid formula.

If you are considering performing a body wrap at home, there are a number of body wrap supplies that you will need.  Most of the supplies can either be ordered online, or purchased at a local beauty supply store.  The cost of home body wrap supplies is quite reasonable, and will cost somewhere between $80 – $200 depending on the number of treatments you are looking for.  This price includes body wrap bandages that can be re-used for many treatments.

Generally speaking, the more you spend upfront on body wrap supplies,the less expensive each wrap will cost.  This is because buying body wrap formulas in bulk is much less expensive than buying smaller quantities at a time.

What Body Wrap Supplies Do I Need?

Now let’s outline what supplies you need to perform an effective body wrap at home.

Dry Skin Brush – $12.99

Exfoliating your skin prior to a body wrap is an important step that is often overlooked.  Using a dry skin brush is an effective way of removing dead skin cells, and opening up the pores of the skin.  This will ensure that your body is able to absorb all of the beneficial ingredients of your body wrap formula that is applied to your skin.

Body Wrap Bandages – $60 (enough for entire body)

These are reusable bandages that you wrap yourself in after you have applied the formula to your skin.  Body wrap bandages generally come in two different forms.  “Premium” body wrap bandages, and “high quality” body wrap bandages.  Premium bandages are more durable and will last longer, but cost more money as opposed to the high quality wraps.

Body Wrap Formula – $40 (8-10 body wraps)

The body wrap formula will be one of the most important supplies that you purchase for your body wrap.  There are many different types of formulas including:

• Bentonite Clays (Sea Clay, Sea Mud, Chocolate Clay for example).
• Dry Mineral Clay
• Herbal Liquid
• Aloe Vera Liquid

The type of body wrap formula that you choose will generally depend on your budget, and specific goals.

Sweat Suit – $19.99

The sweat suit helps trap the heat in after you have applied the body wrap bandages.  This is an “optional” body wrap supply, since jogging pants and a thick cotton shirt will suffice.  With that being said, for the small price of the sweat suit it is well worth the convenience.

Total price for body wrap supplies mentioned above:  $140 approx.

Instead of purchasing all of these body wrap supplies separately, it’s often easier to purchase a body wrap kit.  These kit’s contain all of the supplies that you need in a convenient package, and are very economical.

So that about wraps it up!  The body wrap supplies listed above are all that you will need for your first at home body wrap treatments.  As you become more experienced, you may begin to add new ingredients to your formulas such as essential oils or other herbs, but for not this is all you need.
