Cellulite plagues pretty much all women, but it may be possible to bath your cellulite away. If not you can at least lessen it and take a relaxing bath at the same time! Try this essential oil and sea salt combination, nicknamed “The Skinny Bath”:
3 drops of lavender essential oil
3 drops of grapefruit oil
2 drops juniper essential oil
2 cups (500 ml) of sea salt
Grapefruit helps rid the body of cellulite by cleansing away toxins; it also relieves water tension. Juniper is said to relieve cellulite by enabling the body to “throw off toxic wastes that accumulate as a result of contemporary lifestyles.” Both Grapefruit and Juniper help the skin work more efficiently. Lavender is incredibly rejunvenating for both mind and body.
Be sure the oils are well mixed with the salt to avoid any skin irration. After a warm bath soaking in the salts, apply a mixture of the same oils blended with 1/2 ounce base oil to cellulite areas.
In terms of ways to lessen one’s cellulite, I’d say this is one of the more fun ways to do it!
