I’m off on holiday in a couple of weeks and
we all know how fabulous we hope to look and feel by the time we go.
After having a baby last year I have really
struggled with losing that last half a stone and now I’m in panic mode to shift
it so I can be Bikini ready. I have cut out chocolate, bread and all foods,
which I found made me quite bloated, and with doing that I have since seen an
improvement and lost a couple of pounds.
I decided that I needed a little extra help
with clearing some toxins and losing some inches, so I decided to pop along to
my local salon for a good old Universal Contour Wrap!
The Universal Contour Wrap guarantees
you’ll lose at least 6 inches in just 2 hours, making it the perfect solution
when you have to look your best for that special occasion and they say the 6
inch loss is also guaranteed to stay off for at least 30 days, or your money back.
The wrap is scientifically proven and was
tested independently by the University of Westminster revealing instant inch
loss for all those tested.
This is what it claims to do…
Toning
and Firming – UCW Classic revitalises the body’s
elastin and compacts areas where fat is stored, literally sculpting your body
into the shape you deserve.
Exfoliating
and Cleansing – During the treatment your entire
body is wrapped in the warm clay and bandages, meaning every inch of your skin
is cleansed and nourished so you look and feel fabulous after leaving the
salon.
Detoxifying – The unique mineral rich clay solution helps to extract toxins
located beneath the skin leaving you feeling revitalised after every treatment.
Skin
Tightening – UCW Classic is an effective way of
reducing loose skin after pregnancy or weight changes caused by dieting or
cosmetic surgery such as liposuction.
After I arrived at the salon I was asked to
complete a consultation card including my medical history and an optional
section with what my current height and weight and what weight I was aiming
for.
Once this was done my therapist took me to
my beauty room and asked me to remove all my clothing and to put on some
disposable underwear.
She then came back in with the bandages in
a large container that were soaked in the Clay and started to measure parts of
my body in different places from my upper chest to my ankle and logging the
measurements as she went along.
This I made sure I watched closely to see what they were.
I was then wrapped from top to toe in the bandages
that were pulled quite firm but comfortable and helped into a silver plastic
suit and onto a couch with blankets to keep me warm.
After lying there for an hour listening to
some relaxing music, my therapist came back and helped me out of the suit and
started to unwrap the bandages.
This was quite a feeling of relief as by then I was looking forward to
them coming off but when they did I felt quite chilly!
I was allowed to cover myself with a towel
and to rub of some of the excess clay but was advised by my therapist to try
and leave some on for at least another 12 hours. As it will continue to work into my skin.
She started to re measure the points she
had measured and marked previously and overall I had lost an amazing 10.6 inches, mostly from my waist, stomach and hips, which I was even more thrilled
about.
To get the full benefit from the treatment, I was given my aftercare leaflet of things to avoid these included Tea,
Coffee, Sugar, Salt, Fizzy drinks, Alcohol and fried and fatty foods.
This treatment is not marketed as a weight
loss treatment but I was curious to see if by losing inches will you lose any weight?
I did weigh myself before I went
out and when I got back home and I did lose a pound! Not bad for doing nothing in 2 hours!
My skin felt amazing even with some of the
clay still on and it did look and feel firmer with no lumps and bumps!
I did what I was told that evening and left
the remaining clay on and drank plenty of water as recommended to help flush
through the toxins.
How
did I feel the next day?
When I woke up in the morning I had quite a heavy headache
and this I put down to being dehydrated. The evening weather temperature in
the UK that night was very warm and I think if I drank more water I would’ve
been fine.
After I showered and removed the remaining
clay and measure points! My skin still felt totally amazing and looked
incredible. My clothes that day
showed no signs of lumps and bumps and I felt great!
I will definitely be having another one of
these before I go away as they are recommended to have a course of three for longer
lasting results. You do have to
leave 7-10 day in between though to allow time for any toxins to build up again in your
system.
I paid £46.00 for my treatment and it was definitely
well worth it!
