With the summer season nearly over and the rain clouds starting to settle over our heads the dreams of achieving that perfect bikini body for 2010 seem to simply be drizzling away.
But, if you’re still trying to lose those last few inches before your holiday or even if you just want to look slim for a special night out, the Universal Contour Wrap could give you the results you’re after!
With stars including Zoe Ball, Tamsin Outhwaite and Claire Sweeney, already flocking to spas across the country to try out the slimming sensation, this is a treatment that promises amazing results.
Available at the Kavala Day Spa and Beauty Salon in Chelmsford, it is now one of the UK’s leading slimming treatments, guaranteeing that you will lose at least six inches after your first session!
So, with a slimmer body in mind, I booked myself in for a full wrap to see the effects for myself.
After a quick consultation with my specially trained therapist, my ‘before’ measurements were taken, and it wasn’t long before we were ready to get wrapping!
Using bandages that had been pre-soaked in a warm, mineral rich clay solution, I was wrapped firmly from the neck downwards, although my legs and arms were bandaged separately to avoid that claustrophobic feeling.
With an average inch loss of around 10-14 inches in one treatment, the Universal Contour Wrap is unique in the fact that it does not use dehydration to get results. Instead, the warm sea clay draws toxins from beneath the skin and exfoliates, tightens loose tissue, while reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.
After I was covered, I was left to relax and browse through a selection of magazines while the clay did its job. Once my hour was up the bandages were removed (they come off a lot quicker than they go on!) and my measurements were re-taken.
I couldn’t wait for the results and was in shock when my therapist revealed I had lost almost 12 inches from areas including my bust, thighs and bottom! I was completely amazed and as a sufferer of Eczema, the clay has worked wonders on my skin. This is definitely a great treatment if you’re looking to lose those last few inches fast!
