Instructions

• 1

  Choose oils wisely. When choosing essential oils for cellulite reduction, make sure you have chosen to purchase from a reputable company and that you are purchasing quality oils.

• 2

  Choose essential oils that will work to moisturize and soften the skin, making it plumper. This plumping will make the skin look fresher and fill in the dimples. Choose oils such as lemon, juniper, lavender or grapefruit.

  Mix the oils. Before mixing the essential oils, you must first add a carrier oil as the base. Mix no more than four essential oils together at a time, using only three drops of each. Apply the combination to your skin daily after a shower or bath for best results.

  Treat yourself. Giving yourself an oil treatment will work to stimulate your skin and help to renew old cells. You can really treat yourself by using a handheld massager to massage the oils into your skin, giving you deeper penetration. The massage and oil treatment works together to give a smoother appearance.
