Glam Slam: The Stars’ Slimming Secret

Before hitting the beach or pool, who doesn’t want to have the best body possible, right? Eating healthy and working out will get you in shape, of course, but sometimes there are a few stubborn areas that refused to get toned! Skincare expert Ole Henriksen, whose celeb clients include Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron and Eva Mendes, has created the Universal Contour Wrap, which promises to “unwrap the inches.” In fact, he guarantees the wrap, which Paris Hilton and Paula Abdul have tried, will help you lose at least six inches in just one treatment. How?

“The body is wrapped in 25 to 30 elasticized bandages that have been pre-soaked in a warm, mineral-rich clay solution developed by Dr. Richard Strem. This helps to sculpt and tone the body while the clay absorbs into the skin drawing out toxins. The process revitalizes the skin, firming and tightening to create immediate and significant inch loss,” according to Ole.

If you can’t get to Ole’s Sunset Boulevard Spa in Los Angeles to try his slimming treatment, he has some tips to help you tone up at home.

“Fighting flab should be tackled from several angles,” Ole says. “It is of great importance to eat a clean and healthy diet. People with flabby areas of the body tend to ingest the wrong kinds of foods, especially fast foods that are high in salt. Salt will bind toxic elements in the vital tissues of the body and cause the skin to look bloated or flabby. Something as simple as drinking lots of water and herb teas like mint tea and African red tea can make a huge difference in helping to speed up your metabolism and help your body rid itself of toxic elements that can lead to excess flab.

Exercise is another important weapon that can be used to fight flab. Pilates and yoga are great ways to tone a flabby body. Results will not show overnight, but after six to eight weeks, the transformation can be extraordinary as far as tightening your inner and outer thighs, butt and waistline.

As for topical treatments, it’s all about revving up circulation that boosts oxygenation in the vital tissues of the body and in turn, impacts the skin with some degree of toning and firming. That’s where coarse exfoliating scrubs are particularly effective. Personally, I’ve seen amazing results achieved with the following routine. I recommend that my clients use my loofah body scrub in the shower on damp skin on the parts of the body where the tissue has lost its tone in tiny, firm vigorous circular motions. Work it into the skin for several minutes until you feel a definite tingling in the tissue. At the end of your shower, rinse your body with cold water. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it helps to further tone and firm the body. Follow with an application of my muscle comfort lotion, which contains algae and peppermint to enhance circulation and firm the tissue. This treatment should be done every night for a period of many weeks on troubled areas of the body.

For even better results, incorporate my African red tea firming body mask into your routine twice a week. After applying the loofah scrub, cover the troubled areas of your body with my African red tea firming body mask and leave on for 20 minutes. It may be a good idea to lay down on a bath towel and relax for 20 minutes as the mask works to firm the tissues. Next, follow with muscle comfort lotion.”
