UPDATE: Winner of the It Works Skinny Wrap is Courtney Duesterhoeft! Congratulations, Courtney! Check your inbox from an email from me to claim your prize! Thank you to everybody who entered!

I feel like I’ve been hearing about  IT WORKS popping up everywhere. In my news feeds, in conversation, at the gym, ect. So many people are crazy about “That Crazy Wrap Thing.” When Raegan Poschmann, a Triple Diamond Leader with It Works Global, reached out to me asking me to review her product, I decided it was a great opportunity to see what the hype was all about.

It Works is an all-natural health and wellness company that specializes in sales of the It Works Skinny Wrap, cosmetic botanical products and nutritional supplements.

It Works Wraps

Raegan sent me one skinny wrap to try, along with these instructions, in case you’re curious how it all works.

How to apply the It Works Ultimate Body Applicator: 

1. Make sure your skin is clean. It helps to take a hot shower before wrapping to help open your pores. Do not use any lotion or dove soap on the area you are wrapping bc that can block your pores.

2. Take before pictures. Front and Side view (no face).

3. Open the wrap and unfold it. Place the side with the botanicals directly on your skin.

4. Flatten out all the air bubbles by just rubbing the wrap.

5. Use glad wrap (or It Works fab wrap) to keep the wrap in place by wrapping it a few times around the area you are wrapping. Doesn’t have to be super tight, just so it wont move.

6. Leave the wrap on for a minimum of 45 minutes. Raegan usually keeps hers on for 3 or 4 hours and just goes about her day. You will feel a tingling sensation where the wrap is on your skin and you may even get warm or cool. This is all normal.

7. Drink your water!! This will help you stay hydrated and to get your maximum results. *VERY IMPORTANT*

8. Remove the wrap and take after photos. 

9. You will see immediate results and progressive results over the 72 hour period after wrapping. Continue to drink your water over the next 72 hours (half your body weight in ounces is recommended daily) The wrap is still working in your system during the 72 hour period after wrapping. You can take more after pictures 24 hrs and 72 hrs later.

I have to say I really enjoyed my wrap experience. It felt like I was getting a spa treatment while I was busy with the kids. I can honestly say I did feel like my skin felt a little firmer after the wrap. I don’t feel like the results were drastic, because I only had the opportunity to try one wrap. When I asked Raegan how long it usually takes to see noticeable results, she said that one wrap is like a treat, and a full box (4 wraps) is considered a full treatment. I’d be curious how I’d feel after a full treatment!

In my limited experience, I can see how the wraps would be attractive. As moms, our bodies change so much after having kids, and it can be nice to have a little extra help to get them to a place we feel confident in. Will I use the wraps again? Maybe. The downside is that they are sort of expensive, but again maybe I’d think it was worth it if I had a full treatment. I’m sure Raegan would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about them since she’s been using them for a while.

The other product Raegan sent me to try was It Works Greens.

It Works Greens

Greens are a probiotic and also contain 38 herbs and nutrient-rich “superfoods” to provide vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and enzymes in their naturally-occurring, bio-active, bio-available form.

– Detoxify, alkalize, and promote pH balance within the body.
– Acidity-fighting magnesium and potassium blend.
– 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables in every scoop.
– Free radical-fighting antioxidants.

These, I LOVED. I simply add a packet to an 8oz glass of water, and drink up. I tried the Berry flavor and it tasted amazing! I drank them before working out and I felt a huge burst of energy! Like we’re talking I didn’t need my coffee for the day because I was so energized! I’m not great about getting enough veggies, so the greens are a great option for me.

Raegan mentioned that she’s been giving greens to her boys too, and they call it “Hulk juice.” They haven’t been sick in over two years, and she attributes that to the greens!

Overall, I feel like IT WORKS seems to offer high quality products. Will I wrap my way skinny? Probably not, since I think long term its gonna be more sustainable for me to work hard in the gym, and I just don’t have gobs of money to spend on wraps. However, once in a while for something special, if I’m going on a trip, or just want to give myself a little treat, I could see myself ordering a full treatment for an in home spa day.

If you’re curious about what it feels like to wrap your body skinny, Raegan has offered to give away one wrap to one lucky Mommy’s Me Time reader. Simply enter using Rafflecopter below!

    Though I haven’t tried the wraps myself (and therefore entering your giveaway to hopefully get a better picture of the company) I have been extremely frustrated by the experiences I have had with them as a MLM. They have been VERY pushy in the weight loss surgery community where many of us struggle with extra skin. I can no long hashtag #weightloss on instagram because I get 25 messages from IT WORKS people asking me to buy their product. In reality, many of us have pounds of extra skin that can only be removed surgically. I’m SURE that this doesn’t reflect everyone in the company, but it’s sad that they have put forward such as bad impression before I have even gotten a change to buy their product.

    My other hesitation is that if you do a quick search for peer reviewed articles you will find that the results of the wraps are truly temporary. That’s a lot of money spent for temporary results! Someone with mild lose skin would be better off going to the gym to tone, and someone with major problems would be better off saving their $ for skin removal surgery. They results are achieved (from what I understand) by basically dehydrating that area if your body. Hence why it’s so important to drink so much water! I can can be dangerous otherwise!

    Again, I have not personally tried this product… It is just the information I have found from reaching (credible!) sources on the internet and my personal experience with the company.

      Hi Sarah! I would love the opportunity to fully educate you on the products and why it’s so important to drink your water while wrapping. Our wraps are actually hydrating not dehydrating. Please message me. Thanks so much – Raegan

    I don’t ever go to spas but it would be fun to try to the facial hydration mask or hair/skin/nails – I prefer trying those things at home!

    Instead of the wraps, I would try their facial products.

      Pregnancy is a time to focus on developing a healthy baby. I would contact your doctor before trying anything.
