Hello everyone!
Lots of people all over the world are concerned
with cellulite. Anti-cellulite creams can be costly and/or full of chemicals.
Fortunately, there are safer and cheaper DIY recipes, which can be just
as effective! In
today’s post, I’m going to show you how to make my favourite, effective
homemade anti-cellulite cream. Before you spend your money on expensive
products, you should try this DIY recipe first.
Grapefruit anti-cellulite cream recipe
Ingredients:
- 30 drops grapefruit essential oil
- 1 cup of coconut oil
Method:
- Mix grapefruit essential oil and coconut oil together
- Store in a glass container - Citrus essential oils are highly concentrated and are full of healthy acidic properties. Because of this, you should always use glass containers when storing them.
- Rub into affected areas for 5 minutes daily
Coconut oil will help hydrate the skin
while grapefruit essential oil
contains large amounts of the anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain, which helps break down cellulite.
Note: Coconut oil melts in warm temperatures. The
melting point of coconut oil is generally quoted as being 24 °C (76 °F).
If the temperature is above 24 degrees,
the oil will be liquid. If the temperature
is below 24 °C, it will become solid.
If you want a creamier consistency, you can
add grapefruit oil to an unscented body lotion. However, I recommend mixing the essential oil
and the lotion directly in the palm of your hand. Just add a few drops to your lotion before
you apply it to the affected areas. Do not add the grapefruit oil straight into
the body lotion bottle!
This is not my first
blog post on this topic; I shared a recipe for an anti-cellulite coffee scrub, a few years back. Here’s the link: DIY: Anti-cellulite scrub. I
prefer the grapefruit anti-cellulite
cream recipe over this one, simply because I’m not particularly fond of the
smell of coffee. But other than that, the
scrub is also a very effective anti-cellulite!
In another post, I
also shared a list of tips that you can use to improve the appearance of
cellulite. You can find all the tips
