24 hours before a big event is not exactly enough time to lose weight but if you want to create the illusion that you have lost a few inches then this product from The Sanctuary is amazing. I was sent it ages ago but wanted to try it and see how many treatments I could get out of it before posting and I actually got 5 out of it rather than the 4 they suggest.
Kit contains:
1 x Pot of Body Clay
4 x Bandages
1 x Loofah Mitt
1 x Tape Measure
Measurement Chart
You soak the bandages in warm water in the sink whilst rubbing whichever section of your body you are treating with the loofah (dry). This stimulates your skin and once the skin is red and the circulation is going you slap on the body clay, ring out the bandages and wrap yourself up like a mummy. Its so easy to do and the ends are Velcro so they stay in place.
You then just lay down and chill out and wait for an hour or so for the clay to do it's work. You can use the measurement chart to plot how much you have lost but I just used the tape measure quickly. Needless to say the more excess flab you have the more you are likely to lose.
The Sanctuary Say "In clinical tests women lost an average of 5cm in just one full body application*.
*An average loss of 5cm was achieved in a controlled trial with 57 women."
How does this work?
Basically a clay wrap is a quick fix treatment. The clay helps to absorb fluid and fluid based toxins in the skin much like a clay face mask. Once the fluid is sucked out the pressure from the bandages squishes your skin and helps compact it into the space where the fluid was. So this is a great treatment if you have fluid retention.
Basically this treatment isn't going to last forever but it will make you feel good about yourself as your skin looks much firmer and you may lose inches (I lost 1inch which I was bloody happy about) but some people say they lose much more than that. The whole treatment took about 2 hours and the effects lasted around 4 days.
Considering this is very expensive as a salon treatment, usually around £40-80 for one wrap and this set costs £24.99 for 4-5 treatments I would definitely recommend purchasing this and I will be buying some more of the mud as my bandages are still fine after being washed in the washing machine 5 times.

Great review! I've been eyeing this up for a while! I recently had a full body wrap done and it cost me £75. I lost over 7 inches though, so it was worth it. In future I might try something a little cheaper like this! :) xx
Fab - I love body wraps I've got an Urban Retreat one to use before my hols but this looks great especially since you get the bandages I have to use clingfilm with mine x
I've been looking at this in Boots for a while now, wondering if it works and if its really worth it so I'm glad that someone has reviewed it.
I quite fancy giving this a try, although I can just see myself getting into a total state with it!
I love this! I need to purchase this right away. After 3 kids..my midsection could stand to lose a few inches. Thanks for the review.
@Olivita - definitely worth £25 and lasts a decent amount of time too.
@Louise - the bandages make you feel quite nice and secure, I am now sure how I would feel about being covred in clingfilm, perhaps a little freaky!
@Beth - yes it's definitely good for the tummy and for skin firming, and it's not hard to do, I didn't get into a mess and I am notoriously clumsy x
@jackee yes definitely a good one for tummies, as it just sucks all of the water and toxins out. As long as you do it regularly as well you can just keep up the effect! x
wow this looks great - shame im skint but I wil try this eventually x
OMGeeeeeee!!!! Must have asap!!!! Perfect for right before a holiday!
