Are you ready to try a body wrap at home? To begin, you will need body wrap supplies, and have two options. You can either purchase a body wrap kit, or all of your ingredients and supplies separately. In this article I will outline the benefits of each option so that you can decide for your self.
Body Wrap Kits
A body wrap kit includes all of the accessories and ingredients that you need to perform a body wrap at home. although the content of each body wrap kit vary, most contain the following:
- Body wrap formulas – this could be a clay, herbal solution or both
- Body wrap bandages – normally ACE style compression bandages
- Sauna suit – helps trap heat and help you sweat
- Exfoliating products – usually exfoliating cream or a dry skin brush for before your body wrap
- Tape measure & tracking sheet
- Instructions
The amount and type of formula that a body wrap kit contains will vary. In most cases, the larger the size of the kit, the greater the savings. This means that if you pay more upfront for your kit, the cost of each body wrap will be lower.
The big benefit of a body wrap kit is that it contains everything that you need, and will save you quite a bit of time since you don’t have to search for all of the ingredients separately. The cost of a body wrap kit is also usually cheaper compared to buying separate items.
The only real disadvantage of a body wrap kit over buying supplies separately is that you may not have the option to choose a specific type of clay or formula, however, most companies are willing to customize your order.
Buying Body Wrap Ingredients & Supplies Separately
If you decide to take this route as opposed to buying a body wrap kit, you will have more flexibility. If you find that the ingredients & supplies in the body wraps that you have been looking at do not fit your needs, then this is probably the best route to take.
Here is a list of the items you will need in order to perform your own body wrap:
- Clay or herbal liquid
- Wrapping bandages
- Dry skin brush
- Essential oils *optional
There are many different types of body wrap clays, herbal liquids, and essential oils that you can choose from when creating your own kit. Don’t be afraid to experiment and see which ingredients work best for you.
Which Option is Best for Me?
If you have never tried a home body wrap before, a home body wrap kit is probably the easiest and most economical way to get started. If on the other hand you are a home body wrap “veteran”, you would probably benefit from purchasing your ingredient and/or supplies separately so that you can try to create your own formulas.
