The cellulite, it’s a bit the bête noire of all women, even the slimmest! It is indeed not only a question of overweight and fat that collects under the skin in small pockets, giving that lumpy “orange peel” appearance. Blood and lymphatic circulation, inflammatory process, hormonal impregnation, heredity, physical activity, unbalanced diet (especially too rich in food with a high glycemic index, in saturated fat and not enough in “good” fat) … The causes of cellulite are multifactorial.
Anticapitoneal cedar
In a 60 ml bottle, mix 4 ml of EO of Atlas cedar, 4 ml of EO of cypress, 4 ml of EO of lemon. Complete with vegetable oilAlmond. Massage the areas affected by cellulite twice a day. Warning: lemon EO is photosensitizing, so avoid exposure to the sun for 48 hours. Those of Atlas cedar and cypress are contraindicated in cases of hormonal disorders.
Fat-eating citrus zest
To activate the process of lipolysis, we put on this synergy combining different citrus zest, excellent fat burner. In a 30 ml bottle, mix 1 ml of EO of orange zest, 1 ml of EO of sour orange zest, 1 ml of EO of bergamot zest, 1 ml of EO of zest of lemon, 1 ml of essential oil from zest grapefruit, 1 ml of essential oil from zest mandarin. Complete with dispersant. Take 10 drops of this mixture in a glass of water, 2 times a day for 7 days.
A circulation-activated oil
To boost venous and lymphatic circulation, responsible for water retention and aqueous cellulite, this synergy is tested 2 ml of essential oil from Atlas cedar, 2 ml of essential oil from pistachio lentisk, 2 ml of ET from patchouli, 2 ml of evergreen cypress EO, 20 ml of hazelnut vegetable oil. Complete with 32 ml of calophylle vegetable oil. For 20 days, massage the legs twice a day, from top to bottom. Contraindicated in case of hormone-dependent cancer, pregnancy and feeding with milk.
Express solution
We bet on the Atlas cedar which will boost traffic lymphatic and blood and promote the process of lipolysis (= burn fat). We pour 5 drops of EO in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil (calophyll ideally) and we actively massage the cellulite area. Internally against water retention: take 2 drops of lemon essential oil on a neutral tablet on days when you feel swollen, morning and evening, for 7 days.
Advice in +
It is not for its fragrance that we use vegetable oil of calophylle (or tamanu in Polynesia) in cosmetics, its strong odor reminiscent of curry or Coffee ! Its anti-inflammatory and circulatory properties, however, make it the anti-cellulite oil par excellence. With a rather oily feel, it is generally combined with another oil to improve its penetration into the skin.
