It Works ~ Ultimate Body Applicator


(Side note:  The Ultimate Body Applicator comes in a box of four, if you would like to only try one, you may buy one from me, just contact me, and get yours for only $30.00 free shipping!)

Here I will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the ULTIMATE BODY APPLICATOR!!  Hold on to your hats, this is going to be a LONG post!  But So worth the time, trust me!!  A lot of this information is available at the It Works site, but there are a few things you won't find about the Ultimate Body Applicator (aka: skinny wrap).  That is what I'm going to tell you first! !  If you don't want to read my novel long post on the wraps, this video gives you a great overview of the Ultimate Body Applicator! (There are also more 'how to' videos at the end of this post).

Not a miracle worker: 

Although many may disagree (including myself), it really is not a miracle worker. The wrap has a 98% success rate and it does WONDERS for your body.  It is, however, NOT a weight-loss solution! You will not actually lose weight. Although dieting is not required for results it does work BEST when used with a proper diet and exercise!

The applicator works to get rid of our toxins and, inturn, shrink our body!  I like to best explain this as a vacuum seal bag. You know, those cheesy commercials where you shove a bag full of all your bulky blankets and pillows, zip it up and vacuum out the air. You're left with a flat easy/manageable bag 1/8th the previous size, yet everything is still there, except the air (in this case our toxins). If you want the numbers on the scale to change, there is no magic pill (or wrap) that will change that. Sorry, every health care physician out there will agree, it takes healthy eating and exercising to lose the pounds! BUT, we will not leave it all up to you!! We have some AMAZING products to help aid in losing weight and starting your journey to a healthier, better you! These products include: Greens, Thermofit, It's Vital, Fat Fighter, New You, and Confianza. Not to mention power bars and protein shakes! We also have other great products to help with poor health: Regular, Relief, Estro-Rhythm.

The wraps help to tighten, tone and firm our bodies! It's like plastic surgery, only without the high price tag and the long, painful recovery!! To help aid in reshaping our bodies, we also have: Defining Gel, Lifting Lip & Eye Cream, Cleanser Gel, Hydrating Toner, Facial Applicator, PreventAge, RepairAge, and Stretchmark Cream.

There you have it, you can shrink your body without having to work at it, but if you want to get healthy in the process, It Works has the tools to get you there! Keep in mind, if you eat junk you will replace all the stuff you just took out and your results won't last as long. If you make good food choices (try to eat fresh organic food without preservatives) and exercise, your results will last much, much longer!

What if it doesn't work? 

Next order of business, what if it doesn't work? Well, there are a number of reasons why it may not work. Please do not get discouraged! Just pay attention and all will be reviled!

What can hinder your results:

~Smoking & Alcohol: Obviously FULL of toxins and can really affect your results. Especially those who smoke may need to use the recommended four wraps before seeing results.
~Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions can also affect your results. So be aware, and talk to your doctor!
~Medications: Certain medications can also make it difficult to get results.  With blood pressure medications being one of the most common.  You many need to use more then one wrap before you see results.
~Soaps with lanolin: Soaps with lanolin are known to clog pores making the wrap unable to absorb into your body. Stay away from these kinds of soaps and lotions while wrapping. Dove soap, for example, is a popular one full of lanolin.
~Birth control: Certain hormone birth controls or IUD's can sometimes affect wrapping (this happened to me). You may need to use more than one wrap to get results.  Again this wrap works 98% of the time!
~Menstrual cycle: Women on their period may have minimal results. When using the wrap, try NOT to use it near or during your period.
~Stay away from certain foods: Limit fatty foods, caffeine, and sugar. The wrap is trying to detox your body, adding toxins while you're trying to get rid of them can hinder your results.
~Aspartame: Aspartame can affect you while wrapping.  So stay clear of diet soda's and pretty much anything claiming to be sugar free as they most likely use aspartame. This includes sugarless gum!
~Salty Foods: Try to stay away from salty foods.
~ No Shower: Do not shower immediately after removing the wrap, give it a few hours to make sure it is properly absorbed.

Those are most of the things that can hinder your results, with the main reason being clogged pores and medications.

 Here's a list of things to do to get the BEST results: 

~Exercises: Getting some exercise (it doesn't have to be much, just a walk will do) helps to get your blood moving and it stimulates your lymphatic system.
~Take a hot shower first: Make sure skin is clean and pours are open. Remember, no soaps with lanolin (such as Dove), no lotions or perfumes on your skin before you wrap.
~Wipe the area with alcohol or hazel: Rubbing alcohol and witch hazel will also help open up your pores (Tip: Use a pantie liner rather than a cotton swab...goes quicker).
~Body brush:  You can also use a body brush to help open up your pores.
~Take before & after pictures: You do NOT have to share your pictures (although I would love it if you did), but taking a picture helps YOU see how your body has changed!
~Use a sharpie: Mark where you measured for more accurate results. A pen mark will be gone when you remove the applicator. (Mark above and below the measuring tape for the most accurate results.) Measure your waist, belly button and lower abdomen, this will help make sure you're being accurate. Take a breath and let it out each of the three times you measure (if wrapping your stomach). Add those inch loss results together to come up with your total loss amount.
~Use proper wrapping material: Use saran wrap, ace bandage or tight clothing (biker shorts) to secure applicator, making sure it is snug enough so the wrap doesn't slide off, but not tight enough to make you start sweating (see video at the end of this post).
~No sweating: While working out is great BEFORE you wrap, you should avoid anything that will make you sweat WHILE you are wrapping.
~Wear for 45 minutes: Wear the wrap for at least 45 minutes. It is also safe to wear for up to 8 hours (I actually read someone wore it for 12 hours). Although there is no proof wearing it for longer will get you better results. Our human minds just feel better about about wearing it for longer. I wore mine for 8 hours.
~Rub it in: After removing the wrap, rub in any excess lotion. We want our bodies to use every drop!
~Measure everyday: Measure every 24, 48 and 72 hours! Drink your water and think slim!
~Only use one wrap every 72 hours: Anything more is a waste, the wrap will continue to work for 72 hours!  
~Drink water: HYDRATE!!! HYDRATE!!! HYDRATE!!! Your body cannot move those toxins out of your body if you don't pee! You should be drinking half your weight in ounces while you're wrapping, (or everyday for that matter as it is very good for your body!) and 2-3 bottles of that should be within the first hour! Water is desperately needed in flushing out the toxins from your body and you should DRINK! Continue to drink as much water as you can for the next 3 days. The more you drink, the more you shrink!

The wrap has a 98% success rate, giving you measurable results in only 45 minutes! Look for toning and tightening of your skin!  Sometimes rusults are dramatic with just one application, but for many it may take a series of wraps.  If you fail to see results and have avoided/done all of the above, PLEASE let me know!! I want you to be satisfied and I will stop at NOTHING to get you results! Every body is different! Although this wrap can be deemed magical by many, we ALL have different body types, and what works for some, may not work for others.  Again, you may need to use multiple wraps to achieve the results you desire.  Some of our other products may also need to be added to help aid in receiving measurable results!

Now let me touch on bloating for just a moment.  There are a select few who may experience bloating after wrapping. DO NOT BE ALARMED OR DISAPPOINTED! This effect is called "toxic bloat" and is caused by your body's reaction to the increase in "floating" toxins. Often it is these people that end up with the BEST results at the end of their 72 hours. Some people require more than 1 wrap before they see visible results. Again, please contact me if you have any questions, concerns or are unhappy with the results!

Frequently asked questions: 

~Will the applicator help cellulite? 
As you probably know, cellulite is waterlogged fatty tissue. One of the first things women with this problem report is the loss of many of their fat dimples and ripples within the first few applicators. Results however, can be seen from the very first application.

~What is it? 
The Ultimate Body Applicator (aka: skinny wrap) is a non-woven cloth wrap that has been infused with a powerful, botanically-based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results when applied to the skin. It continuously hydrates for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite and skin slackening. See results in 45 minutes.

~If I have personal medical issues, can I use The Applicators? 
If you have concerns about whether or not the It Works products are right for you, we strongly recommend that you print off the ingredients of the products you are interested in and then consult with your physician. You can find the ingredients lists for any of our products by browsing through our Products section. Simply click on the product you are interested in, and then click on "View Ingredients" on that product's page. This product is not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women (however, I have known plenty of women who have used the wrap while nursing and have been just fine, although it is not recommended, it really is up to you, but absolutely not while your are pregnant, we do have other wonderful products for pregnant and nursing mothers). If you have a medical condition, health concern, or are taking prescription medication, consult with your health care professional before using this product.

~Will the Applicators interfere with the medications I am currently taking? 
If you have a medical concern, allergies or sensitivities, we suggest that you consult with your physician or personal pharmacist

~Can I use more than one Applicator at a time? 
In most situations, we encourage you to use only one Ultimate Body Applicator wrap at a time because it will give you the most dramatic results when targeting one area at a time. The Ultimate Body Applicator targets the specific area where you have applied it and will continue to work for 72 hours. For leg and arm applications, it is safe to either cut one Applicator in half and us half on each limb, or, if necessary, use one Ultimate Body Applicator on each limb to promote symmetry.

~How does the Ultimate Applicator work?
Ultimate Applicator works by detoxifying, tightening, toning and firming. Daily, toxins are naturally removed from the body by your stool, urine and the air you breathe out. The ingredients continue to work for 72 hours after you have applied the Ultimate Applicator, so you may continue to see progressive results over this time period.

If you want to get real technical, the applicator works by select herbs providing nutrients that penetrate cell walls and cause the lipids (fatty materials) inside the cells to be released into the lymphatic system. The fat is then circulated naturally and carried through the normal elimination process of the body, resulting in natural and permanent tightening, toning, and firming. The wraps don't work by making you sweat out water (dehydration or water compression). The wraps helps to release toxins, not lose water weight (water loss can be dangerous)! We encourage you to drink LOTS of water to ASSIST flushing your body of excess toxins. All of us have fat cells. It's the state of these fat cells that counts. They can expand and they can shrink. When you diet or workout, you don't lose fat cells; you lose the "subcutaneous fat" inside the cell.

The applicator's natural ingredients help to saturate the wall of the cell and work to release accumulated subcutaneous fat inside the cell. The excess substance liquefied by the herbs, goes through blood circulation to the lymph system to excrete the body. This is a normal excretion action that cleanses the excessive fatty substance from the body, and the excess material is flushed out through the lymphatic system, your normal elimination processes.

~What are the sizes of the Applicators? 
The Ultimate Body Applicators is approximately 13" X 21"

~When I used the Ultimate Body Applicator, I noticed a small rash on my skin afterward. What would cause this?
Very rarely, some people develop a rash from the Ultimate Applicator. For those who do, it is usually caused by the detoxification process. As the Applicator detoxifies your body and you begin releasing those toxins, it can show up in your skin. Be sure to drink plenty of water to continue flushing out toxins, and the rash will diminish within a couple of days. Occasionally, someone may find they have an allergy to an ingredient that could produce a rash and this is why we always encourage new customers to consult the ingredient lists before using our products. If you have a persistent rash, we recommend that you consult your physician.

~How long do the results last from the Ultimate Body Applicator? 
The results you see from the Ultimate Body Applicator are not temporary, as you may have experienced or heard about with many body wraps that simply cause water loss. The Ultimate Body Applicator helps detoxify, tighten, tone, and firm in a manner that produces lasting results—without water loss.

As is true with any weight loss or body slimming, you can reverse the results you see from the Ultimate Body Applicator with poor eating habits and lack of exercise. This is why we say, depending on your eating habits and level of daily activity, you can expect your results to last approximately anywhere from 2 - 6 months.

Using Defining Gel daily can help you make sure that you improve and maintain your results from the Ultimate Body Applicators. Continued use of the Ultimate Body Applicators will also help you achieve continued results and maintain results you may be reversing with eating and lifestyle habits.
