We have had several people ask for cellulite oils at the store, so I thought we’d post an essential oil recipe for cellulite.
First, let me say that in general, having cellulite is genetic. Cellulite is caused when fat deposits push through connective tissues near the skin. Even people who are slender and fit have cellulite, in fact, 90% of women will experience cellulite in their lifetime.
I am skeptical of most cellulite creams on the market, especially those advertising “miracle results”. Still, there are several essential oils that may help with tightening and detoxifying the skin to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Grapefruit oil can help to remove toxins from the body. Juniper oil can help with reducing water retention. Cypress oil can help to improve circulation, as well as reducing water retention. Rosemary and cinnamon oils can also help to improve the circulation of blood in the body. Orange oil also helps with circulation, and can work to tighten the skin.
- 1 oz. amber glass dropper bottle
- 3 drops of grapefruit oil
- 3 drops of juniper oil
- 3 drops of cypress oil
- 3 drops of rosemary oil
- 3 drops of orange oil
- Carrier oil of your choice- coconut and avocado oil are nice and moisturizing
Put the essential oils in the bottom of the dropper bottle and fill the rest of the way with a carrier oil. Be sure not to overfill the bottle so you’re able to put the dropper back in without overflowing.
Rub the oil mixture on problem areas before bed or as desired.
