Equipment
- Small bowl
- 16-ounce container with lid
- 2-ounce bottle
Materials
Grapefruit Cellulite Scrub
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup coffee, ground oats, green tea, or cacao nibs
- ½ cup jojoba oil (or almond, olive, coconut, etc.)
- 15–20 drops grapefruit essential oil
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or beetroot powder (optional for color)
Grapefruit Cellulite Oil
- ¼ cup sweet almond oil
- 8 drops grapefruit essential oil
- 6 drops juniper essential oil
- 4 drops rosemary essential oil
Instructions
Grapefruit Cellulite Scrub
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add the oils and stir well.
- Add more oil or sugar to achieve the desired consistency. To get a soft pink color, I added a pinch of beetroot powder and cinnamon at the very end—but it’s totally optional.
- Store in a lidded container. To use, apply to the skin and scrub in circular motions over areas with cellulite. It will last several months unless water is introduced.
Grapefruit Cellulite Oil
- Combine oils in a glass jar and swirl to combine.
- To use, apply a small amount of oil to damp skin. During the first 4 weeks of use, massage the oil into skin with circular movements, at least twice a day. For ongoing maintenance, continue with the daily application.
Notes
For best results, use cellulite oil daily. Make a fresh batch every 1–2 months.
If the scrub lasts for more than one application, store it in a clean, dry jar with an airtight lid. Keeping the scrub dry will ensure it lasts longer.
