The secret to weight loss with coffee
Coffee wrapping is one of the highest priority procedures in many beauty salons. It is very popular among customers due to its effectiveness.

Cellulite Reduction
Separately, it should be said about the anti-cellulite effect of coffee wrapping. Cellulite is a problem for almost every woman. And even the owners of a slim figure become his hostages.
Cellulite occurs because of the disruption of the vital activity of a group of cells, and therefore they no longer work productively, accumulating fat, toxins and slags, decomposition products. These cells overgrow and overtighten with connective tissue, which begins to grow rapidly.
As a result, these cell formations increase and bulge out through the skin.
Cellulite manifestations are of varying severity: from small irregularities to pronounced mounds.
With all the reasons for the "orange peel" coffee wrapping copes very well. It will help eliminate stagnation of blood and lymph in problem areas and improve their movement through the vessels.
This will not only provide nutrients to these areas, but also improve oxygen delivery.
It will help break down the old, pressed fat and normalize redox processes in cells. And also contribute to the rapid removal of harmful substances.
In other words, the procedure will “stir up” problem areas, eliminate congestion, break up bumps and eliminate hated irregularities.
What product is suitable for wrapping?
As already mentioned, only natural, ground coffee is suitable for the procedure. The soluble mass, even if granulated, is not used for such manipulation: its soft structure will not produce the proper mechanical effect. In addition, this product is virtually devoid of nutrients.
For the procedure and suitable thick, which remains after drinking a drink. But this mass can be used only if the coffee was clean, without the addition of sugar and cream. Brewing the product in this case is based on 2 tsp. on 1 cup.

The coffee wrapping itself consists of several stages.
- Take the mixture and apply it on the problem area. This may be the abdomen, hips, lateral surfaces of the body. This should be done in the direction from the bottom up, along the lymphatic vessels. If the mass was stored in the refrigerator, it should be heated to room temperature.
- After that, a food film in 4–5 layers is also applied from above upwards, but so that it does not overstretch the skin.
- Cover yourself with a blanket or wear warm linen. Moderate physical activity is allowed.
- On average, the procedure should last 40 minutes. But it is recommended to start the course from 15–20 minutes, gradually leading up to the permissible interval.
- After the time has elapsed, remove the film and massage the traces of the mixture in soft, gentle movements, then rinse it off with cool water. This will create a contrast of temperatures. Dry the skin and apply cream: anti-cellulite or softening. Refrain from sunbathing.
- 1 course includes 10 sessions that are held 1 time in 3 days. Often, the procedure should not be repeated, as this is fraught with excessive loss of fluid.
