White clay for weight loss

White clay is usually used to get rid of impurities on the skin, as well as clogged pores. In addition, it can be taken internally (diluted), because it helps remove waste with toxins and other harmful components from the gastrointestinal tract, thus getting rid of excess weight.

External use of white clay helps to enrich the skin with minerals and vitamins, and at the same time makes it elastic and soft.

Thanks to silver elements, green clay helps stabilize metabolic processes within the skin. It also has the following effects:

  • restores cells;
  • rejuvenates the skin and increases its elasticity;
  • absorbs the secretion produced by the sebaceous glands;
  • removes swelling;
  • enhances blood circulation processes.

Dosing and administration

The use of clay internally can occur according to several schedules. The first of them is as follows:

  • 1st week – drink 0.5 teaspoon of the solution (clay diluted in warm water) on an empty stomach every day. This will help cleanse the intestines;
  • 2nd week – drink 2 times a day (on an empty stomach, and also in the evening, before bed) a solution consisting of 1 teaspoon of clay, as well as warm water (1 glass);
  • 3rd week – 2 times a day (on an empty stomach, and also before going to bed) drink clay dissolved in 1 glass of warm water (1 tablespoon);
  • 4th week – a little clay should be poured with water in such quantity that it allows to mold balls from clay. Every day you need to eat 10-15 such balls on an empty stomach (their diameter should be 5-7 mm) and wash them down with liquid.

Another schedule for internal use of clay for weight loss:

  • 1st week – before eating, eat 10-15 clay balls (3 times a day), washing the balls down with liquid;
  • 2nd week – take 5-7 balls before meals (2 times a day), washing down with liquid;
  • 3rd and 4th week – dissolve clay (0.5 teaspoon) in warm water (1 glass), and then drink 2 times a day – on an empty stomach and before bed.

Clay wraps for weight loss

Clay can not only be taken internally, but also used for external wraps, which is also considered a very effective method for losing weight. This procedure is quite simple, so you can easily do it at home yourself. For clay wraps, you will need a scrub, cling film and, in fact, the clay itself.

First, you need to prepare the clay mass that will be used in the procedure. To do this, you need to dilute the clay in warm water, using a glass container. The amount of the substance depends on how many problem areas there are on the body, to which the clay will be applied. After this, you will need to take a shower (warm) and cleanse the skin of various contaminants (using a scrub for this).

After this, you should treat the problem areas with a small layer of clay (it is recommended to do this with slightly damp hands), and then cover them with several layers of film. For the effect to be maximum, the body should be well heated during the procedure - for this you can do some physical exercises.

To reduce body volume, the wrap should last about 30-50 minutes (using blue or black clay), and the procedure itself should be performed twice/three times a week.

Usually after 2-3 weeks of wraps, noticeable results appear.

Mustard and clay wrap for weight loss

Mustard is often used in the creation of mixtures for wraps, which are intended to eliminate excess weight.

The wrap will reduce volume, removing several centimeters, thereby correcting the figure, and will also have a beneficial effect on the structure of the skin.

When mustard gets on the skin, it has a powerful warming effect, thereby accelerating tissue metabolism, and at the same time exfoliates the upper epithelial layer, which has already become rough. All this leads to the skin becoming soft and elastic.

Clay is an environmentally friendly natural component, it contains many microelements (iron, as well as potassium with magnesium, etc.). They remove inflammatory processes, improve blood circulation and metabolism, and also eliminate the so-called "orange peel" from the skin.

All these properties make wraps with clay and mustard one of the most effective methods for improving your figure and getting rid of excess kilograms.

Blue clay and cinnamon for weight loss

Cinnamon is considered a very effective cosmetic product. In combination with clay, it is often used as a component for wrapping procedures.

It perfectly eliminates cellulite due to the presence of essential oils in its composition, which help stabilize metabolism and improve blood circulation.

Slimming clay inside

When choosing clay for internal use, you should take the one that will settle slowly when dissolved in water. The most suitable is considered to be plastic and suitable for modeling, fatty clay.

Clay should be consumed only before meals (washed down with herbal infusion or plain water, without sweetening the liquid with sugar, although it is allowed to add a little honey to the water, as well as lemon juice - a few drops). It is forbidden to combine clay with coffee, as well as milk and alcoholic beverages.

Clay baths for weight loss

Since clay baths have a very strong cleansing effect, this procedure can be used to deeply cleanse the skin and remove waste and toxins from the body.

While taking such a bath, you can massage the problematic areas of the skin with clay. This prevents the development of cellulite or reduces its severity if present.

Thanks to clay baths, the skin is saturated with many useful microelements and also receives additional care.
