Did you know that citrus essential oils are incredibly effective at fighting the orange peel effect? Orange, grapefruit and lemon essential oils are particularly well-suited to tackling dimpled skin. Here is our DIY anti-cellulite citrus cream recipe.
A closer look at the ingredients in our citrus anti-cellulite treatment
This homemade blend combines healthy, complementary ingredients for visible results — typically after just 7 days of daily use.
Aloe vera gel, rich in amino acids, trace elements, minerals, enzymes and a range of vitamins — A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C and E — deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin. This natural beauty ingredient also boosts blood circulation within cells and helps counteract the imbalance in fat distribution that contributes to the appearance of cellulite in certain areas of the body.
Citrus essential oils (orange, lemon or lime) are highly effective against cellulite. Packed with natural active compounds, they help improve blood flow and stimulate circulation. Thanks to their toning and astringent properties, these citrus essential oils help redefine your silhouette while visibly smoothing the orange peel effect.
Finally, cinnamon essential oil firms the skin and stimulates micro-circulation, while helping to target fatty deposits and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It tightens the skin and smooths adipose tissue.
A word of caution: the use of essential oils is strictly not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, elderly individuals, or children under 10 years of age.
