I couple months ago I had a girl buy 2 boxes of wraps from me... that's $200, 8 wraps because she wanted to be SKINNY for her high school reunion. The timing was about 2 weeks out and I told her that she could use them on different parts depending on what she wanted to tighten -- about 4 days later she called me so upset saying the didn't work. When I asked her if she had been drinking all the water I told her too she said she tried but just couldn't. Well DUH, you're not going to get the results you want then. You have to follow the instructions!!!!
With that being said lets go over the basics of wrapping and how these products work.
A GUIDE TO WRAPPING
Grab your It Works! Cleanser, Toner, Wraps, Fab Wrap & a camera (or your phone) to get started!
If you don’t have all of these products on hand, you can still wrap… this is just what we recommend to maximize your results.
The Cleanser and Toner will be used to clean your skin before applying the applicator and the Fab Wrap will help secure the wrap into place for the next 45 minutes. You can also use plastic wrap for the same purpose, but our Fab Wrap is more flexible and allows your skin to breathe much easier.
You can tuck your shirt into your bra or completely take your shirt off. You may need to unbutton your pants as well to ensure that the wrap can fully cover your mid-section.Don’t worry, you won’t have to feel exposed the entire time… once you have the wrap in place, you can cover back up. I often will wear a wrap while I’m out running errands for the day, and no one is ever the wiser!
Do NOT skip this step! It’s can be difficult to truly see the difference a wrap can make if you don’t take a before and after photo. This is were our new APP comes in handy. Go to your app store and download "Wrap App". Enter either your Customer ID or my ID 6797061 to get started. Click the button "I have a wrap" and it will walk you through the picture portion of this step along with when to drink your water. We recommend taking a few good pictures, in good lighting from many different angles. Try to take the pic using natural daylight, if possible. Those tiny wrinkles, lines and areas of cellulite can be hard to see!
To get your stomach ready for the wrap, you should first wash the area with hot water & our Cleanser. If you don't have our cleanser use a non-oil based soap (don't use DOVE, try DIAL) and even use a sugar or salt scrub if available. Pat the area dry and then spritz with It Works Toner (optional). Wait for the area to dry completely before applying the wrap.
Cleaning the skin with Cleanser & Toner ensures that your pores are open and ready to absorb the cream on the wrap.
Note: Many customers also incorporate a loofah or a brush to clear the area of any dead skin or debris.
As you can see in the picture, the wrap is approximately 2 feet wide, and the gel on the wrap should be mostly visible on one side (brown-ish in color). Once you have the wrap completely unfolded, you can place it against your tummy with the gel side facing your skin.If your trouble area is specifically your love handles, you can also cut the wrap in two pieces and place one piece on each side of your abdomen.
And, if the wrap is too small to cover your entire tummy, we’d recommend using two skinny wraps (never use more than two wraps at one time) or focusing on either your lower or upper abdomen for the initial treatment(s) until you reach your desired result.
Often times the gel will collect on one area of the wrap due to gravity/shipping etc.When you apply the wrap to your skin, try to smooth out the gel against your skin so that your each part of your stomach is covered with an equal amount of the gel.
After a few seconds/minutes you will notice a cold tingling sensation and this is perfectly normal! It means that the gel is penetrating your skin and the magic is beginning!
It Works Fab wrap is definitely recommended if you’re looking to get the best results possible with your It Works Body Wraps.If you don’t have fab wrap, you can use a tight fitting garment (such as spandex), or you can wrap your tummy using plastic wrap. Just make sure that the wrap is securely in place against your skin, as it will want to move as you walk around, bend over, etc and we don’t want to waste any of that precious gel!
Remember that tighter is better-just don’t cut off your circulation!
This is were the APP comes in really handy.... once you have the wrap on and then you can start the timer... it will remind you to drink your water and at the end it will prompt you to take another picture.
If you don't have the app the minimum recommended time for the wrap to be effective is 45 minutes, so make sure you wear it at least that long!If you wear it longer, you won’t necessarily see any better results, but many users like to wear the wrap to bed at night or during a nap or while watching a movie, etc.
We also recommend drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day while using the wraps. Because It Works Body Wraps continue to work over the course of 72 hours, it’s very important that you stay properly hydrated during those 3 days to ensure you get the results you desire.
After 45 minutes, its now okay to remove the applicator and rub in all the remaining gel! The gel is infused with a variety of powerful botanicals and that is where the magic happens… so don’t waste it! Sometimes it can take a couple minutes to rub all the gel into your skin, but its worth it, so don’t skip this step!
Taking your before and afters are incredibly important for your personal satisfaction. Many users have trouble noticing the results after their first wrap without their photos.
Looking down on your belly gives you a totally different (and much less whole) perspective than you can achieve with a few good pictures from different angles. Many times the most drastic results are from a side profile, which is difficult to see without a picture.
**TIP: If you decide to become a distributor and sell It Works Body Wraps to make an additional income, having your personal results in photo-format is incredibly helpful!
As we stated earlier, the wrap continues to penetrate to the deepest levels of your skin over the course of 72 hours so its very important that you continue to drink lots of water and then take another picture afterwards.
Because some users ‘bloat’ (because of toxicity levels and inflammation) after the initial 45 minutes, the 72-hour picture can often provide the most useful and drastic before and after!
For comparison’s sake, try to take the your 72 hour picture in similar clothing and under similar lighting conditions as well.
If you are as blown away with the results as I was, then consider this… we consider one wrap a ‘treat’ and four wraps a full ‘treatment’. So, what will your tummy look like after your next 3 wraps?!After my first full treatment with It Works Body Wraps, I just knew that I was on to something and that I had to SELL it. If you have had similar thoughts, then get in touch with me!

Is it water weight or real weight loss?
Then use the It Works Wrap to tighten tone and firm the skin! Unlike many other body wraps, mud wraps, seaweed wraps, etc. that you can spend a fortune on at salons to lose only water weight, our wraps are easy to use, affordable and effective. They deliver long-lasting results and can target specific trouble areas.
Body wraps are great for:
- Postpartum mamas
- Post-bariatric surgery patients
- People who have lost weight and have some sagging skin
- People who just have naturally sagging/loose skin
- People who want to reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks
While nine out of ten people will see results immediately after their first wrap, we do recommend a full treatment of four wraps. If you bloat after your first wrap, do not fret… it is likely that your body is just adjusting to the ingredients and needs more time to let them work within your system.
Those who bloat may be more toxic than others, so you may need to do a full treatment and drink plenty of water to ensure that you get the best possible results. Often times, those who bloat after their first wrap, get the best results overall after completing the full 4-wrap treatment.
While wearing the wrap, we encourage you to drink as much water as possible. Other than water, however, you should not consume any food or beverages while it’s on your body.
Once you’ve taken off the wrap, you are free to eat or drink as usual. To get the very best results, we do recommend a clean eating regimen, but this is not a requirement to see results right away.
We do recommend that you stick to eating whole, fresh foods and stay away from overly processed foods and refined sugars. Eating a clean diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables and other whole foods with ensure that your results stick around for many months to come.
