How to make a natural cellulite remedy that reduces orange peel |
|
Cellulite is caused by our hormones and our genes, and it's tough to shift. It needs dealing with every day, not just before bikini season! Use this anti-cellulite poultice and oil, along with massage, on affected areas morning and night to prevent water retention and fight orange peel.
Ingredients
> Massage oil
A 50ml pump bottle
A 250ml bottle of sweet almond oil
5 drops of essential grapefruit oil
5 drops of essential lavender oil
5 drops of ivy water (see below).
> Poultice
A saucepan
A blender
10 climbing ivy leaves
5 drops of sweet almond oil
Method:
Pop the ivy leaves in a saucepan containing a cupful of boiling water and boil for 20 minutes. Leave to infuse for another 20 minutes.
Remove the leaves, setting aside the liquid, and blend them with a few drops of sweet almond oil in a food processor.
Mix half the remaining almond oil with the grapefruit oil, lavender oil and 5 drops of the ivy water.
Apply the blended ivy leaves as a poultice on the affected areas and leave to act for 30 minutes. Rinse and then apply the oil. Once absorbed, massage lightly, kneading and manipulating the skin.
