BOD Bath Prep

How short term are the benefits – when would you expect to go back to ‘normal’?

The effects can last up to 48 hours, as even consuming lots of water takes up to 48 hours to be metabolised and reach the same storage cells in the outer layers of your skin.

How often can you use the salts?

You can use the salts everyday if you so choose, so long as you keep your skin hydrated and continue to have your recommended daily allowance of water.

How much bath water should I use – half a bath, full bath?

Enough so that your body is fully submerged under the water.

Would it be safe to use them more than once a week, if required?

Yes, the effect is theoretically like working out every day, so long as you keep your skin hydrated and you continue to have your recommended daily allowance of water.

Side effects – are there any at all on record?

No, other than maybe a light head if the bath is too hot and dry skin if it is not moisturised and re-hydrated afterwards. However, due to being used in a hot (38 degree / body temperature bath) it is NOT recommended for pregnant women.

Ingredients – what is the main ingredient?

Magnesium chloride (Magnesium salts) & natural sugars.

Does it have to be a 20-minute bath?

Yes, to ensure the best chance of full effect.

What would happen if you only stayed in for 15mins or less?

This just reduces the time in which to expel the water therefore there is less de- bloating effects

Does it work for everyone?

People who suffer water retention more than others will likely see a greater effect. If you do not hold excess water or suffer, you will as a bare minimum feel a detoxifying benefit of a high concentrate salt bath with a small but potentially non-measurable loss of weight.

What temperature should my bath be?

38-40 degrees or comfortable to keep your elbow in (i.e. not too hot!).

Is it a photo-visible effect?

Not across all women, no.

Can it be long term with lots of uses?

No, there is no progressive effect.

Is it suitable to use on all skin types?

Yes…However, hydration should take place afterwards.

Do you just sit in the bath, or do you rub the salts on your body?

Just sit, relax and enjoy.

Does it work better if you eat certain foods/drink more water?

No, the foods are irrelevant, however, to reduce bloating it is best to avoids food with high salt levels (ironically!).

Do you have to use the whole bag?

Yes, this guarantees the concentration is strong enough to draw out maximum excess water.

Can you add more hot water half way through the bath?

If you choose.

Can you share the bath, or is it strictly one use?

You can if you so choose, it is merely the combo of temperature and high salt concentrate that draws the water out so the same effect. In fact, depending on what is happening with 2 of you in the bath, you may sweat more ;)

If I like my baths lukewarm, will this work?

Not as much, as the sweet spot is reached at the optimum body temperature level to expel the water.

How is it so affordable?

The product is made from natural ingredients blended together with a view to bringing functionality and fitness to everyday bathing at a decent price.

Do you need to supplement with exercise?

You do not have to, but BOD would support a balanced lifestyle to achieve more long term fabulous feelings.

Can you physically see weight off on the scales?

You would be able to see a loss of anything around 1-3 lbs dependent on the person.

Did you test the product on lots of different body types?

The beauty of BOD is that it works on all body types to make you feel that bit more svelte and ready to shine. In fact, models and boxers reach their peak weight limits before big shows and fights using similar methods as they try to rid those final extra pounds.

What other benefits are there from the bath salts?

A bath always reduces physical and mental stress whilst the magnesium ions absorbed by the skin, support better body function such as supporting aches, pains, and inflammation.

How do the products differ? Why should they be used together? Do they work separately?

Products may be used separately. However, are most effective when used together. For example, the skin must be hydrated post- salt bath (sorbet) etc.

BOD Sculpting Sorbet

Can I do this every day and would it be effective long term?

Yes, it has been shown people can to lose up to 2cm of size from repeated use and actually this is ONLY achieved by everyday use.

Is it healthy to use daily for a long period of time?

Yes, in fact it works best everyday which is where the greatest body inch loss (up to2cm) was seen in the study:
Thighs average reduction by 1.4 cm. Hips average reduction by 1.3 cm.
Abdomen average reduction by 2.2 cm in women and by 1.7 cm in men.

Can you use this ongoing as a way of permanent weight loss?

It is more body sculpting than a weight loss agent, but yes, the formulations supports long term BOD goals.

Does fat loss slow down after time with use?

1 week feel the difference, 1 month tell the difference, 2 months get told the difference.

These sound like active ingredients, are they suitable for all skin types?

Yes, both Lipout and Xeradin are natural ingredients with no known side-effects from different skin types. The special sugar of our sorbet also provides extra elasticity, helping tighten those unwanted excess skin areas.

Can I continue to use all my other body products in my regime, i.e. my self tan?

Yes it won’t alter the efficacy of your other products.

Are you allowed to do any other treatments alongside?

Yes, carry on your regime as normal.

Is it activated post bath – if so why?

It can be used on its own if need be… The reason to use post bath is to support instant re-hydration of skin with long term body goal benefits.

How do the products differ? Why should they be used together? Do they work separately?

Products may be used separately. However, are most effective when used together. For example, the skin must be hydrated post- salt bath (sorbet) etc.
